My new Pitts come in today :-)

I have had one a few years back, but sold it only after a few flights.
I regret it, and found this one in Poland that I ordered.

This is the Revised BH85-A version.
It has some differences compered to the old one I had.

The canopy and pilot is not glued on, so I guess that is a good thing so you can customize it a bit.
The vertical tail is not part of the fuselage, so you dont get that big ugly seam. That is great.
The top wing is nor re-designed as a 2 piece wing, so you can remove them much easier with only one bot in the middle.
The landing gear is stronger and more simple........ that is good and bad. It does not look as scale as before and......they made them white! That is really ugly. I will have to paint them red. The nice scale brace is not there any more :-(
Control horns are now fiberglass ones that are glued into prcut slots.
CG has been revised in the manual to 106mm from the top wing LE and back.

Thats what I can see so far.

Here is the revised manual in color......the one in the kit is still black and white :-) :
