[Milsurplus] R-1051 starter ?

[Bob kb8tq]

Hi

There’s also the basic problem that the 1051 series is quite a step up in complexity from the WWII stuff most of us 
have worked on. Getting up to speed on all the various versions and the degree to which parts can or can’t be 
swapped is challenging. Depending on what he has and how badly it has been worked over in the past the process
could be pretty simple, but more likely will be both expensive and time consuming. 

I happen to like the 1051’s, but have tried to keep things focused on a very narrow sub group within that tribe ….
