• 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 purchased a sa-900 that has " i believe " a J-3 cowl on it with large eyebrows above the cylinder heads. The plane came from arizona where it gets really hot so I'm sure this helped with keeping the engine cool. I'm located in arlington wa and its much cooler here. I have yet to get the oil temp above 120 ( well below normal oper. range which starts at about 145-150.) I'm running a 0-200-A and I've been told thats not good on the engine. I would like to change the front cowl to an enclosed cowl that covers the heads. My question is, What are other v-star owners using and what type of cowl would fit ? Any guidence or comments would be appreciated.
