Hello all.
Earlier this year my son and I purchased a Pitts S1T. It's been at his place for the last six months and recently came to mine as he moved to the other side of Australia.
I'm looking at this aeroplane and thinking I must go and learn to fly it.
But before I do, I want to pull the cowls and have a good look over. When he delivered it to my place recently, he had the oil pressure gauge moment where it flickered. He was running around with only 4 quarts of oil in it. Kids!
Also I'm told it only has an oil screen. I had one on a Cub once and hate them. Do others have a filter on their S1T.
Does anyone have an annual maintenace guide I could use as reference as I look over this aircraft?
Any Pitt's ownership advise gladly accepted.
Many thanks,
Texmex.
