Okay, so... i've never had a Pitts, no plans to build one... YET... but the Pitts is one of my all time favorite aerobatic planes since I was a kid!!! Can I join too? Or do I need to build one first?

My favorite color scheme when I saw it I just had to remove the covering from my Great Planes (still in the box) and recover it. 16 lbs with a Brison 3.2. Always wanted to do a 1/2 scale model of G-FLIK. I emailed the builder of the full size he sent some pictures of the build.

Cermark 1/4 scale S2-B with a Saito 150 four stroke. Flew it for the first time this season in a howling wind on Saturday and it was great!

I wish you would see more women in RC. No such thing as a boys only club. All this Pitts talk is giving me some good incentive to finish up my current projects so i can get started on the 1/3 Sheber S1S. BTW Ace, you didnt happen to make a list of materials when you built yours, did you?

I humbly request induction to the brotherhood. I have a 12-year old GP Pitts awaiting fresh batteries from Radical RC. I have recovered my original Cermark Pitts in Solartex and am working on a custom finish & graphics. I am framing up my second Midwest Super Stinker. I also have a 1/3 Scale Bob Dively S2 in kit form. I've had a love affair with the Pitts since I first saw the Holiday Inn airshow team back in the late 70's. Of late, I've been flying mostly Cubs, Decathlons and other milder scale types, but it's time to shake the cobwebs loose!
Thanks,
Ray

HB, that 58% pits is a monster, I didn't realize how big the 58% was, but seeing you standing next to it, I don't know if I could manage something that big, or a place to store it... nice color blue though.
