Default RE: Scale Pitts Kits of Plans available ?

Highflightld,
thanks for the tip as this is my first giantscale project and its been overwhelming as i want to "do it right"
I was planning on doing something... and upon further inspection and finally meeting the builder (who was appaled at the control rod setup also) the Mike Smart plans are VERY scale and the builder made the notch outs (for a lack of words) for the SCALE interconnect rods at the LEADING edge of the alierons as the plans show. I emailed Mike smart and he said to be sure and have no slop as flutter can take place but as you know that is the scale location for the rods at the FRONT of the aileron..... so it goes. Im also been in touch with Burtons. they make full scale plane flying wires but also make model sclae !! these are identical to the real deal fofoil shaped stainless tail and wing wires like the big boys whooo hoooo!
