Hey everyone.
I just picked up a S1C with what I believe to be S1S wings (4 ailerons and symmetrical airfoil).
It is a bit of a project as it hasn't been flown since the late 90s. Bought it from the builder and it looks to be in great shape for sitting so long. I also got all the plans etc and a few cool tools. So far, I have bought new bungees, a battery, brake rebuild kits, tires and tubes, and it came with new master cylinders. I have the front torn down to install the bungees and I have a bungee tool but have no idea how it works after a few attempts to try and figure it out.
Haven't started it yet but I think I will pull the plugs and oil the cylinders before the initial run up. It looks like a pretty clean engine and has the inverted oil system. Just worried that the PS5C carb will need a rebuild and will probably go with some sort of TBI system if it does.
Any suggestions from someone with previous experience in this sort of project would be greatly appreciated!
