    • 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.

My S1 has a stock cowl with an updraft sump. In an effort to reduce weight and hopefully improve engine performance, I removed the alternate air cable and stock air box. I designed/built a new one with an integral bell mouth. My assumption is the airflow into the servo will improve relative to the stock intake, even though the stock intake has crude quasi-ramp directing air into the servo.

I doubt I’ll see anything noticeable for performance, but who knows…. Has anyone on the forum done something similar and what were the results?
