Default RE: accel hobbies PITTS PROFILE!

ORIGINAL: TailTwister

The 40 bipe, as of now, is more expensive than the 70 Kat, yes. It is also a 1300+ square inch wing(s). The Kat 70 is 900somethin' The prototype Pitts was flown successfully with several engines, including the Saito 91, which was balanced with onboard gear. The Pitts ARF is a plane that can sit in a crossover category. Yes, a strong 46 will do it, as will your Saito 72s. It also is a size that will allow it to be flown on a Saito 82 or 91.

As for the OMP Ultimate, it's a kit. My understanding is that it is an extremely well executed one, but a kit none the less.

So, anyway, Dion, when can we see the Pitts in stock there? Are you guys gonna match the Accel price, or can you shave a buck or two off? It is a pretty plane...

Are you promoting the Pitts or something? Sorry, I mean no harm, but to pay $40 more for a plane that is 1lbs less in materials just does not make sinse to me. My .02 [] I could be very much wrong.....
