• 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.

Looking to change to a new starter on a Pitts S-2A with AEIO-360-A1A.

Any thoughts on pros and cons of Sky-Tec 149-12LS/PM versus 149-12XLT vs the more standard NL?

Any reasons to not go with XLT or LS/PM? Some say these crank with less power than the NL and can't get through even the first compression stage?

And I'm not sure what's the difference of LS vs PM? [Edit: Answer: Right vs left side solenoid]

Thanks for any advice.
