• 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 currently have a Wood Sensenich 76-60, with a IO-360 200Hp, In level flight I get somewhere between 2,650 and 2,700 RPM. I can only get 500' to 600' vertical from level at 120 MPH before I get to 10 above Stall.
I looking to get better in a climb, with two on board and 95 deg, hot day I can only get about 500 fpm climb. with only my butt in the seat I can get 1,000 to 1,200 fpm at 90 MPH.
Any suggestions??????
