• 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.

I am looking at a Murphy Renegade that has a Rotax 532 which is shot.
The entire plane needs to me re-sone and re covered..A genuine project.
I would like to install a 4 cyl Rotax 80 hP engine. M
My question is... was there any upgrading done to the basic fusealage in order to make it stronger to use the 80-100 HP Rotax engine ? Or to accept the engine mount required for the 4 Cyl.
If so... Is it a major operation to change the engine/
Thanks
