I looked at both planes when shopping for a 50cc bipe too. Lots of perspectives to consider...cost, brand, style of flying, what you want. I am more a sport pattern guy, so I went with the AW Ultimate. I do like the the Pitts/Python too and probably would be happy with it also. I figured the Ult would be more rail like, and the Pitts a good tumbler. I think the Ult can do 3D if I knew how. So far I love the plane because I can do any pattern style flying, but I have also begun harrier, harrier rolls and hovering it. Not good at them yet, but the plane is way more capable than my abilities, so I hope to get much better. I think when more guys weigh in, there will an even split on preference between the two. I don't think you can go wrong with either one. Good luck on your decision! Jon
