• 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.

Friends here is the option (for effective the same purchase price with fresh annual):
IO360 had 200bhp and CS prop vs
IO540 with claw 3 blade fixed pitch prop

I saw SSkybolts discussion train and now I'm comparing a Constant Speed with tested >200bhp in IO360 vs an older IO540 with claw fixed pitch prop. My goal is IAC competition plus fun flying and which would you choose; why?

Thanks and we'll be putting together a BiPlane Fly-In in Galveston at the end of the summer like I used to throw in San Marcos! See y'all on the horizon!
