• 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.

Has anyone installed their Lyc 540 engine yet? I need some measurements. My plans show the 4 cylinder Lyc mount, not a 6 cyl mount.
The measurements I need are for the 6 cyl 540 Lyc;
How long is the mount from the firewall to the mount pad.
Or if your engine is mounted, from the firewall to the lifting engine eye (or the engine CG). The engineering formulas mass/moments are not close enough. I have to run several W&B scenarios.
Thanks for your help.

Here is the Jacobs that I'm installing. It has 400TT when removed from an AgCat to install a P&W 450.
