RE: Pitts choice...
Pete,
My experience with the Cermark Pitts was less than positive. I have owned several Cermark ARFs and most have flown pretty well. If you have a problem though.Cermarks's customer support in my experiece is non-existant. My Pitts came apart in mid air costing me over a thousand dollars. [kit,YS engine,radio equip. etc] Upon review of the wreckage we fould that parts of both wings had not even been glued and calls to Cermark got me no where. Even in a "face to face" at Toledo where I showed them a piece of the plane, they basically ignored my claims . I'd stay away from this company at all costs.
Just my two cents
Good flying,
paul
