• 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've got a Skytec 149-12PM lightweight starter on a Christen Eagle. Its currently got about 25 hours since new on it. It works great. The problem is that under g load, the starter comes in contact with the cowling. The starter is undamaged, except for some scratches on the solenoid where this contact has taken place. I will gladly send some pictures of this to any interested party.

If I change to a 149-12LS, the solenoid is on the other side and the problem will be alleviated.

I would also be interested in buying a 149-12LS starter if someone has one that they'd like to part with.
