Some more recent thoughts about this airplane....
I really like the fact I can carry it in my truck assembled. After about 30-35 flights on her now I have her dialed in more or less....she is not very stable like a 35%-40% IMAC bird and has a lot of pitch coupling but once you learn how to fly this Pitts I find it is a great exercise and workout for when I go fly my IMAC bird.
Had a chance to fly with a Byron Pitts yesterday and they are very close in size.....the RC GUYS Pitts flies better then the Byron and is much faster (I am flying mine with a DLE-55RA) so if you like Pitts Specials and can work around the ARF kit shortcomings I say GO FOR IT!
