    • 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.

If a Pitts has a engine that is 26 years old with 700 hours or so, never overhauled but with good compressions, would it be a risk buying this airplane? Lycoming says TBO or 12 years recommended. I have talked to several people about it, some say no worries, others say they would be afraid to risk the possible cost of an overhaul.
