Hey I say go for it. If you can get the plane going and loose some weight it would definitely be a win win. A light Series 2 with good strong engines, pod, and P-tips would have enough performance with a larger guy. Much like Tyler however you have the leg and headroom issue. The Lazair was design and built by a couple of skinny limber kids and a short college professor. Creature comfort for "normal" size guys was never addressed. This is why you see a few planes that were modified by customers to give a bit more leg room.

peter thissen built that lazair. he built about 15 lazairs himself back in the day and was a dealer for a short time in the county. if it is undamaged, you have a nicely built machine on your hands. its a good place to start!

Everything that you need for the engines is available from "Wildfire". I just ordered two carb kits myself. Just look up parts for their Mark III pump.

Just sent an email to Wildfire for the carb rebuild kits, thanks for the info. I am looking forward to getting started on my project.
Cheers,

Must have missed that one... looks pretty straight forward. Not too sure about a commercial mandrel bender around my parts though.
Cheers,
