Default Scratch built RCM Pitts Special

Should be a fun little Pitts. It's extremely light.
stevegauth30,… Do you still have that scratch built Pitts Special?? I think I built that!!

If so,… you are correct! It was built from the RCM plan #528 which appeared in the May 1973 issue of R/C Modeler.

if memory serves me,… I sold that plane at the NCRC. (Northern Connecticut Radio Control) auction in Vernon CT.

I’d love the chance to buy that plane back if it’s still around.
Thanks,
Steve T.
