• 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.

New to the market. Made in the Czech Republic.

They're relatively light and compact, but most of them are pretty fast-spinning. That doesn't lend itself to biplanes. Note, though, that the Scarlett 5 makes 5 more HP than the Jabiru 3300 at 300 FEWER rpms, and only weighs an extra 9 pounds. The Jabiru is already proven on the original Hatz Bantam. The Scarlett 5 might be an ideal radial alternative. It weighs a LOT less than the Rotec R2800!


The radial is slightly cheaper than the 6-cylinder Jabiru, as well.


Look upon them and drool.
