Default Sitting for a year or more
I have a shock jet with a Jet Central Super bee engine and have not flown it for over a year.It's just like I left it in my shop including fuel.Is there anything special I need to do besides flushing fuel and checking batteries?

Telejojo. I would check the the pick-up and clunk line in the tank and all the filters. Other than that I think you would be good to go. Has your Uat stayed full or has it been empty???

The bee has very small injectors. See if you can verify none are clogged (maybe looking at in darkness).
