• 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.

My prop control seems to have lost its friction when it’s rotated downward to lock it in. I cant seem to find any diagrams or parts breakdown of the friction lock for any Pitts. The S2B manual I have leaves a lot to be desired. Especially after having an Eagle with a full set of manuals. I’m trying to figure out if it’s an adjustment or a worn out part. But not knowing how it functions, or where exactly it is, i’d like to have an idea as to what I might need before I start pulling panels. My guess would be some sort of soft disk that’s too worn and not being compressed? I’m assuming it’s behind the front instrument panel but figured I’d ask. Thanks!
