Can anyone out there compare these two Biplanes. Which one will 3D and torque roll better. I've only talked to one guy that has flown the Weeks Solution X, would be interested in hearing about it from some more people. Looks like a neat plane. I realize I'm comparing an ARF to a kit, but this will be my first large bipe, I want to do my homework and get the best flyer for the money.
Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks

No contest...........Solution X will outfly any Pitts.....Larger Wing area......Easier handling Ground and Air .The best Bipe of All Time.
Will do anything you can do with the sticks

Thanks BillJ, have you flown a Solution X. If so, tell me more about it, what engine. Do you have any pics.

This plane was designed for the D&B 3.7 twin...But a G62 will fly it well.........I wanted one of these the first time I saw it fly.......Warren Thomas at the sticks.....I have never seen a Biplane land this slow.......Mind you the kit is not the easiest thing to build.........But is very light and strong.......A few years back this was THE PLANE........I understand the new GP PItts was designed for a G45 or so and I saw a few of them at Joe Nall.....
Reminds me alot of the size of a byron.......But the X is kind of a Pitts /Ultimate Hybrid............The Larger Wings and Lighter loading ...make it much more precise in flight. Of course you've got to build it....and cover it .......But there is no doubt it is a SUPER Biplane...Probably all up weight under 20 lbs

BillJ, What do you mean by "the kit is not the easiest thing to build". I've built six kits of varying degrees of difficulties. Just curious, I don't want to tackle a nightmare. Dave Dessecki said it wasn't a difficult kit, even has some prefab on the tail surfaces. I just thought it would be good to hear the opinions of someone who has built and flown it. Thank for you help.

That's like comparing a Mustang GT to a Lamborghini Diablo. Yes, both are quite capable, but the Weeks is a few generations beyond the Pitts Special. It doesn't matter what scale you're talking about. A correctly (accurately) designed and built Weeks will blow the cabane off of the Pitts Special. If you like the Pitts line then look at the Pitts Challenger II. Sean Tucker and Jim Leroy fly modified Challengers (in full scale) to the edge of insanity and back. It may be a better match for the weeks.

Just an opinion guys...

Well...If you're looking at the kit framed up....you'd say " Hey.. that looks simple enough......But if you are reading from the instructions......I got a little lost from the start of nailing the
F1 on the edge of your building board inverted and building the bottom of the plane..upside down....Probably just me.....But Dave is a super super guy and has been there to help.......Everything else seemed pretty straightforward............Alot of floks talk about the strength of the top wing......But alot of folks can't seem to read that this plane needs 3.7........not a 4.2 or 5.8 a 3.7

Some never have enough power......

However....if you build it per the plans....it will be a joy
