• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

Hey guys i recently pulled the cowl off my Eaa biplane while i timed the mags. To do that I had to remove the prop. The prop bolt have some scuffing and scarring so I thought I would replace them. I am needing an7-44 with a drilled head and cannot find anything like what I currently have on the plane. A Spruce had to price them out and the price they came back with was $41 ea! I am thinking of drilling the heads myself but it would be easier to just buy them. Am I the only person that safety wires their prop bolts on a o320 with a wooden sensenich prop and spinner? I cannot find those sizes in a drilled head anywhere if someone knows of a more reasonable place please let me know. A Spruce doesn’t even stock prop bolt sizes with drilled heads that I can find.
Thanks mark
