Hi everyone! I am rebuilding a Pitts S1S after a forced landing... After "touching" the terrain, the plane groundlooped and damaged its right bottom wing and right gear.
The pictures shows that both spars are cracked and I am now looking for your help...
1- What is a nice way to change the spars? I found a kit on Acft Spruce P/N 02-07800. Do you think it is applicable to the S1S wings?
2- Do you know the spars dimensions?
3- What do you guys suggest for a close eye inspection after a ground loop?
Thanks!
