• 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.

Trying to work out where to best situate a fuel cut off valve... I wanted it like the pic below, but due to the design of my pedals, I am struggling for room. So, I have found an ideal location, but higher up. This means the fuel from the flop tube outlet would be traveling uphill to the valve. Is this OK? The engine will be an IO-360, so I am wondering if the mechanical engine pump and boost will be affected by the extra workload....
