Rudder Phil

Hi, I am considering buying the new Cermark Pitts S2B. Has anyone out there have one or getting ready to build one. I am thinking about putting a G26 as power. Would like any information that might help to decide.

Thanks Rudder Phil

Do a search you'll get your info. A lot of people have made a post on this plane.

Got this plane for Christmas with G-26. Just finishing up, just minor things to do. Too cold to fly though.

PM any questions.

Hi John, I am very interested how it flys. Please let me know when you fly it.

Thanks, Phil My e-mail address is [email protected]

The Cermark Pitts is a Very good flying bipe. It's not as sensitive to rudder as the Great Planes Pitts, and is much easier to land. The G-26 should work out well. You are going to enjoy this plane.

I powered my cermark pitts with a Quadra 35 with hitec 625 servo's on everything except throttle. Great vertical performance although not unlimited. I also have the skywriter smoke pump on the plane. This plane looks great with smoke while doing rolls and loops!!!!

can anyone tell me the degrees or inches of deflection on the aileron trows, nd what is the best way to install the aileros it looks like i dont have much deflection, i glued them and i only have about 3/4" on both ways, is this enough? has anyone changed the hardware?

I'm thinking about putting a G-45 on the Pitts S2B. [X(] Don't have anything smaller on the engine shelf.

G-45 is way too big for this air frame. I have a G-26 in mine and many are going with 1.10 or 1.20 size glow engines. You would be putting too much weight up front. JMO.

Iagree 100%. Both of mine had YS 1.20 power and flew like a dream. A heavily-loaded Pitts will do nasty things when slowed down for landing. Mine wighed 11.5 lbs. My complete review should still be here on RCU somewhere. Jim

I don't use glow engines over .75 in size. Too expensive to feed them the fuel that they require, and the carbs suck. So, using a 1.20 glow engine is not an option for me.

I AM flying at almost 5000' elevation, so I think it's gonna need at least a 30cc engine.

It's just a dream. The G-45 would certainly make it a rocket ship when going vertical. But, that would also be at the expense of good handling in all the other areas. I think it's just too heavy.

If the plane had another 200sq. in. of wing--I'd most definitely do it.

has anyone flown one with the GMS 1.20 yet?

I was thinking of getting one of these and putting the Saito 180 i have here on the nose. Any one have any thoughts about that plane engine combo?

I'm with you Pete,

If i ever buy one of these planes, i'll put in either a Saito 180 or 220. Light weight, HIGH POWER equals a GREAT flying plane. For that, i could deal with the expence and mess. By the way, exactly what makes it a "new version" did Cermark change something on it while i was'nt looking??

This is a light aircraft. Putting in large engine is bound to cause problems with the landing gear. I would think a G26 with EI is about the maximum you want to put in there.
I had one about 5 years ago with an RCS 140. It was a good match. Put a pipe on the 140 and you would have a real screamer. A G45 is too much for the airframe. Ditto the big Saito four strokes.

Mine is equipped with a YS 120, 17 x 6 APC and has more power than it needs.

Flies great and does excellent inverted flat spins.

Am thinking about adding a smoke system over the winter.
