Hi there,
I'm wondering if anyone in the know could point out the differences between S1-T and S1-S wings and how to distinguish between the two?
Am I crazy to think I possibly have S1-T wings fitted to my Pitts, which was originally a long fuse S1-C?
The reason I ask this is for two reasons.
1. I don’t have the traditional cut out from the top wing like a normal S1-S has, instead I have a grab handle exactly the same as the photos I have of a factory S1-T.
2. I had major problems when I tried to install stock S1-S slave struts and another forum member mentioned my upper aileron control arms appeared to be S1-T in design.
I will upload some photos to explain shortly.

Cheers,
Anthos
