• 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.

This is probably overkill, but I wrote up a checklist for our IO-360 Fixed Pitch Skybolt. With a few modifications, you could easily make it work for any engine combination or even a Pitts/Starduster I would think.

It's intended as a landscape tri-fold/double-sided on card stock. Includes Preflight/Normal checklists. As printed you just flip your way through the checklist. I used NASA's recommended fonts/size/case etc...

The dashed line on the Before Takeoff is meant as a "break".. the final items "Below the line" are accomplished when taking the runway for takeoff.

The indented items are reminders for me - you could easily eliminate them (I can never remember Min oil pressures etc).
