Hello all, I'm new to the forum, looking for some wise words.

I'm about to embark on a crazy journey. Yesterday I traveled down to Indiantown, Florida to look at a S1C, N818BB. I was wondering if anyone here had come across this plane or its previous owner Bob Summe, who unfortunately passed earlier this year. From what I hear he was very good pilot, and good man. The plane seemed to be in excellent care there, and I couldn't spot any glaring defects.

I'm really excited as this may well be my first aircraft. Are there any tips or advice ya'll could pass on regarding Pitts ownership and care?

Thanks!
