    • 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.

What do you guys think of putting a turbine on a skybolt.A friend of mine has "0" time walter 601A engines at 695hp.It sounds like that would be too much for a skybolt.You could put a throttle stop on them but I think it would be too inefficient.Turbines are most efficient at WOT.
Also what about the 270hh Lyc go-470-b?
