New member here. I’m rebuilding my 1974 Pitts S-1S after a 20+ year term in storage. New Wolf wings and rod spring gear built by Tony Horvath at Specialty Aero in Creswell, Oregon. New everything everywhere else except about 80% of the original steel tube frame, actually.

It’s my first rebuild so I spend a lot of time online trying to both plan and learn required techniques.

I have a flying ‘46 J3 clip wing Cub.
