    • 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.
    • 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.

Hello Starduster Family,
1. Our Starduster Too flies well.
2. The longer 26 inch engine mount -- made by Don Adamson -- fit perfectly. This resolved the aft weight and balance issue.
3. The new cowling work went smoothly and fit fine.
4. The new oil, fuel lines and longer sensor lines all fit fine.
5. America's Aircraft Engines, Inc in Tulsa rebuilt the IO-360 B1E to perfection.
6. after 2 hours of circling the airport the plane will get to visit a new airport this weekend.

I had a lot of local support for the restoration and testing and rebuilding and ... rebuilding again. The tiny issues encountered serve to make a safer better airplane.
It flies straight and true.

Thank you all,

Thank you Dave,

Jody
