I'm afraid that at my field there is a very low opinion of the Pitt's and I guess it's getting me a bit spooked. We just had one of our members put his in the parking lot on take off no less.....lack of judgment seems to be the overall consensus. Just wouldn't back off when things started to go wrong. I do have to say that reading here has boosted my confidence as many seem to fly this type of plane with great success and most of the warnings I hear are to look out for its ground handling and be careful of dropping the speed too much. Anyway, I think I am going to use exponential to soften the center and see what happens. The other difference between mine and the ones discussed here is that mine only has a 4 ft wingspan and I would hate to have it too twitchy on its maiden flight.
This is my first bipe....I have flown a Kadet MarkII(long ago), Global American Flyer and a GP .40 size 300 Extra S arf. Just hoping this plane isn't over my head.
