Default RE: Lanier Ultimate Pitts

Thanks for the speedy reply.

I already got some input from some local guys and your points seem to duplicate theirs. I can't see anything less than a gasser in this plane. It will be my first gasser but it seems as if this plane demands one. Gasser are the way to go anyway considering the price of glow fuel and the new performance curves of new gassers.

I have inspected the kit and see that some of the components will have to be exchanged out. I plan on contacting the manufacture to voice my discontent.

I also agree that the cowl is a POS and will replace with something appropriate.

The CG seems to be a point of contention and I will get into it when I move the servos to the tail (as everyone is suggesting.) It seems as the CG is critical for slow landings?

I've seen a lot of bipes around and have always wanted one. It looks its going to be different but an enjoyable build.

Don't be surprised if you get a few more questions! The better the input the better the output!


Thanks for the help,

Ted
