Hi,
I am waiting for the the wood order to arrive before I can start building. This gives me plenty of time to start doubting that the plans I'll be using already include all possible modifications or improvements related to service bulletin that could have affected the Pitts S1's over the past 40 years or so.
Could anyone direct me to any SB's applicable to the S1's? I've heard about nose ribs failing on the top wing but not much else.
Also, any modifications you'd suggest I do right away on the wings? I am not talking about performance improvement, but more about safety or reliability mods that would avoid problems down the road, like the nose rib failure I mentioned above.
Thanks,
Marc
