• 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.

On the Skybolt that I just purchased, the main fuel tank looks to be built according to plans. What size would this be? Total gallons...


I understand with the baffle, the fuel gauge only reads the upper part of the tank. So when the fuel gauge reads empty, how much fuel is in the lower part of the tank?


Just trying to fully understand my fuel system. So, I guess I'm trying to learn what the total capacity is, and the breakdown between the upper and lower sections of the tank.


Thanks guys,
