    • 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.

Friends here is the option (for effective the same purchase price with fresh annual):
IO360 had 200bhp and CS prop vs
IO540 with claw 3 blade fixed pitch prop

I saw SSkybolts discussion train and now I'm comparing a Constant Speed with tested >200bhp in IO360 vs an older IO540 with claw fixed pitch prop. My goal is IAC competition plus fun flying and which would you choose; why?

Thanks and we'll be putting together a BiPlane Fly-In in Galveston at the end of the summer like I used to throw in San Marcos! See y'all on the horizon!
