    Why become a Subscribing Member?

    • 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.

Spent the morning getting the engine runs done, changed the oil, cleaned/ rotated plugs. Got it all cowled, the sun was shining so it was time to fly it after seven months.

Went to lunch, when I came back there was a thunderstorm in the area, but looked like it might pass me by. Started cleaning the hanger, the rain started so I grabbed the tow bar and started rolling it into the hanger. My prop has to be with one blade down, two up to come into the hanger.

Damned if I got in a rush and pulled it in with one up. Heard the crunching noise and it was all over.

Already talked to Performance props, he said he could fix it.

Still....:mad:
