    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.

Gentleman & Ladies,
I require the consensus of fact & figures please.
I need to replace my prop, long boring story. I'm going for a wooden/Composite fixed pitch prop. Decision made.
The question I pose to you good fellows of Skybolts is;
In straight & level cruise, max power/rpm (balls out, excuse me ladies) what speed do we all get or should I be getting/expecting?
I need to furnish my prop magician with a realistic achievable speed.
I need to compare apples with apples, so I have a lycoming io360 200hp on a normal canopied skybolt.

I thank you & over to you

Alistair
