• 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.

Have an O360-A1D (narrow deck, 180HP). Came with no carburetor, so just putting a carburetor on it would be some significant expense. Am planning instead to fuel inject the thing. Appears there are two options:

  1. Airflow Performance Bendix system. Never used one of these, but it seems to have some additional complexities, such as needing a "purge valve" with a cockpit control. Not even sure why it's required, what it does, when you use it,
  2. Silver Hawk: I have the Silver Hawk system on the Sportsman and it's bullet-proof and trouble free. However, might be as much as a $1000 more than the Bendix.

Anybody got any experience with the Bendix system? Comments, pros, cons?

Thanks.
