in regard to the above statement concearning gas engines:

why do manufacturers fail to realize the wide availability of engines there are to purchase ( or already purchased and waiting to find a home), and why are these planes not desgned to handle these choices? you recomend ONLY a 2.5(41cc) gas engine for this plane. how about a g-45 for an example: 2.7 (45cc) is this not recomended then? who makes a 41cc soley for use in the pitts? other choices could be the brison and bmes 3.2. considerably lighter than say the g-45 so a better choice. or how about the DA 50 even, soon to hit the market. and im sure others are compareable. (anyone stuff a G-62 in one yet )

it just seems planes like this are introduced to make a buck and not to meet the consumer's stasfaction or needs. it really burns me up - like now. large companys should be working to push the hobby foward and make developments for the better of the hobby

I was going to purchase one, but not now. No GP arfs for me
