• 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 bought a couple of neat things from VANS. The first is a manifold for multiple sending units. I think it was less than 20 bucks. The other thing is a switch that goes in the oil pressure circuit. It has one contact that is normally open and the other is normally closed. The third is for power or ground, depending on how you choose to wire it. The switch activates at 15psi. I have the NC side connected to a BRIGHT RED LED on the panel showing that oil pressure is below 15psi. When the oil pressure goes above 15psi the light goes out and the NO side of the switch closes and starts the Hobbs meter.
