Well, GP has done it again! This bird is like the PW Extra. It's really a thing of beauty, well built, nice hardware package(all 440 rods and clevises!). I received it last night and locked myself in the garage. I'm currently looking over the destructions and it looks like they addressed all the shortages of the Pitts. The flying wires are pre-made with top notch stuff. The only thing I see at the moment is if the bird weighs 18# then the hard foam wheels gotta go!!!!!! Add a couple more hinges to each surface. The covering is even up to my standards. Completely wrinkle free out of the box. It's worthy of the DA-50 on the nose.
