The Pitts is really something you should wait to fly. I personnaly never had one but my son had the GP Pitts with a FPE 32 and he says it wasn't the easiest to land or take off. He's into more of 3d type stuff and sold the Pitts as it's more for scale acrobatics. If something larger than a .40 size trainer is wanted consider the Hobbico Hobbistar 60. I've had two and would fly it the first thing very time I flew to more of less loosen up. It's a little bigger and easier to see. I lost mine to mother earth when my oldest son cut the tail off one Sunday afternoon! I've missed it ever since. Good luck and welcome back.
