Pitts Progress

Spent all last week replacing oil and fuel hoses.  Still have more to go but waiting on parts.  Called Ellison Fluid Systems to order an EFS 4-5 throttle body to replace the old Bendix PS-5C.  Was advised they are no longer in production - so I am stuck with the PS-5C.  Found out the throttle set-up would not work with this carb as it is a reverse mechanism - so will spend this weekend fabricating a new throttle quadrant and ordering new throttle and mixture cables.  So, thats my update for this week.  Next weekend I will be in Calyfornia for another IAC Judges School, this time in Apple Valley.  It will be fun.  Over & Out!
