RE: Looking for plans
Every year Model Airplane News used to print up a listing of there plans and I have a couple of them I cut out. There address was WWW.RCSTORE.COM www.rcstore.com can't tell if it was in caps or not. Plan #FSP04742 they have a phone number here too if it's still correct or not? 800-537-5874 if not then just pick up a MAN and look in the back for any new information. This one is a 48 inch span and calls for a .60 engine. They also have the 61 inch FSP03951 for .90 to 1.20 so it's 1/4 scale. As Minn said, if you haven't got a lot of stick time there are better bipes to look at. If you haven't built a bipe before you need to find someone with a good incidence meter too. Mater of fact, if you plan on being a builder then the meter is used on any and all of your builds. The Pitts is a very advanced plane to build and fly but the smaller one looks like it isn't very hard to build, it's only one sheet for plans and the 1/4 scale is a three sheet set of plans.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Ah, for youth and enthusiasm again. I miss that even more than testosterone.
One flight every two years between assembling itty bitty balsa chips will get old, guaranteed. When a Pitts crashes it is not an overnight with a bottle of CA.
Get a trainer and get an instructor.

1) Expect it to break each time you fly it
2) Don't expect that it will be repairable after each crash.
What you are doing is the equivelant of learning to drive a car with an Indy Racer that has no breaks. A Pitts is NOT a forgiving airplane. I give your first flight about 10 seconds if you do well.

Take this from a guy who had a Corsair haning up for 5 years before I dared to try to fly it. Listen to the advise you will get here it is generally pretty good.
