Is the Cermark Pitts that bad?
The Great Planes Is not a better plane than the cermark, cermark flys better with a 120FZ, plenty of power, cermark looks better, mor scale for a pitts, but do add some tri-stock around the firewall, full throttle blenders may cause it to come loose, My friend has had his ever since they came out, just a month or two ago he had a down side pull-pull cable break, planes still flying today, not hurt. He also has a GP pitts, the wing brackets have broke in half, top left alieron broke off, etc not due to his building, this plane is also still flying unhurt with a BME50, ps. don't let anyone tell you the flying wires don't work! THEY DO. This was not wild flying either, all done within the first 20 flights.
