• 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.

Guys. I will not be in a position to purchase an engine for a few more months, and I realized today that I have come to a stopping point; I was preparing to start the sheet metal running from the front instrument panel to the firewall when I realized I really need the nose bowl on the plane to ensure I have a good visual contour running down the nose. To fit the nose bowl, I need an engine. Worse, without this, I cannot work back in order to fit the canopy. So, I was thinking of asking around locally if someone would loan me an IO-360 angle valve for a short time..then I got to thinking:
An unservicable junk/scrap core would be perfect for this task. If anyone has one, or knows of a source...I would be very grateful.
