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.

I am working on a Starduster SA 100. I have built a O 290 with O 320 cyl's & cam that is carbureted. Thinking about not using a fuel pump (s) and only gravity to provide fuel to the carburetor. The reason is less stuff to fail. I would like to get some input on how this has worked out for others, it appears that this this A/C used to race at Reno in this configuration.
