I purchased an exper. airplane a few months ago. The plane belonged to my grandfather and he flew it for four years. The plane has now been stored for 27 years.

I have given the plane a VERY thorough inspection and found zero corrosion. I t was suggested to me to take of the cylinders so that the cam could be inspected for rust. I have two questions.

1. What do you think about removing the cylinders. Engine has great compression and no corrosion anywhere else.

2. How much work can I do on this exper. plane considering I was not the one who built it.

For more info on the plane and its builder look here.

Thanks in advance, Chris
