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.

Any advice for high and low pitch prop blade angle settings? I've got a 200 HP IO-360 powered Skybolt and have just had a 72" Hartzell HC-C2YR-1BF with F7666A-4 blades overhauled. Yes I know it's oil pressure to course, which is not really kosher for serious aerobatics. My intention is to fly Sunday afternoon style aerobatics only with very little negative G, even though the fuel and oil system is full inverted capable. So I'd appreciate any advice particularly in regards to high and low pitch blade angles and just for my own interest, how much would that vary with prop diameter? Thanks for your help! Frank
