    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.

Hi All-
So, the latest on the situation with our Firebolt is that it is now scattered around the hangar and my house. The engine, fuselage panels, lower wings, landing gear, and rear instrument panel, floor boards, and a bunch of systems bits have all been removed. Sometime soon the truss repairs should start, a new rear panel sporting an efis will be put together, and the engine will be updated with fuel injection and new, light weight electrical system.
And, spades.
The question of the moment is which fuel injection system to go with, and we're soliciting input from Those Who Have Gone Before.
We'll keep you posted, and thanks in advance for any input!
