Pitts vs Ultimate Comparison
If you get a big Pitts, like Exclusiv Modelbau's 48%'er (or some big %) it will fly beautifully.
Since it's such a short coupled plane, anything below 33% would be a handful unless built perfectly and very lightly.
In terms of how one flies to the other, I would think the Ultimate would fly more like a typical monoplane and the Pitts flies more like what it is, a little bipe.

Pitts vs Ultimate Comparison
The Pitts flies more like a scale plane and is not as 3d capable as the ultimate but with the right set up you can do some 3d stuff.
The Pitts is beatiful I've owned two, a Cermark and a GP, and from my experience the bigger the better if you want one get at least a 33%.
hope this helps.

Pitts vs Ultimate Comparison
Pitts tend to have a lot of cross coupling, which make them a handful to fly precision aerobatics. That's the reason you will not see a Pitts at the TOC or anywhere in Imac competition.
The Ultimate was designed to minimize the cross coupling.
