• 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.

While I'm waiting for a new starter, I'm considering splitting my nose bowl. It would make maintenance much easier in the future. Needing to remove the whole prop assembly just to remove the nose bowl, just so I can take the starter off was a PITA. With a ground adjustable prop, it's even more time consuming and requires more effort when putting it back on again.

Anyway, I was hoping to find a thread where someone documented splitting their nose bowl, but couldn't find anything with a quick search. If anyone has photos, advice, or any info on this, that would be awesome! Thanks in advance. Here's a picture of my nose bowl.
