RE: Lanier Ultimate Pitts
I have just finished my Ultimate Pitts and did some mods as well. I placed a digital servo in the tail rather than use the pull-pull setup, I put in a FEMA on-board starter for the Saitio 180 I put in the plane, I ordered a custom TNT landing gear setup - went to 3/16" an 1" wider stance and an 1" forward sweep to place the cg of the landing gear under the firewall. Yes get rid of all the ABS and go to Stans for the cowl and pants. I chose not to use the upper faring on the landing gear. The plane I followed for the scheme did not have them. I also set up a header tank config to reduce any fuel foam problems and to add an add'l 4 oz to my 16 oz tanks set up. I had to reduce the size of my fuel tank because of the FEMA setup in the engine box.
I have posted pics in the Giant form post number 27.
I can't wait to fly this thing...
