• 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've got a starter issue going on. It spins but it doesn't extend to engage the flywheel. I have a power loss from the battery to the starter post. I lose a volt through the starter solenoid, which doesn't sound right, and I lose another volt through 8 feet of 4AWG wiring, which is expected. Grounds are burnished and clean. 0.3 ohms from starter to battery negative post. Any ideas?
