Pitts ARF from Cermark any good?
I have flown a cermark pitts for 2 seasons now and love it. It fits in the pickup assembled and i had White Knight Wing Protectors make a set of wing covers to go over the assembled wings. IT has a Saito 180 in it and a 24 oz. tank. JR computer (388) for radio with 7% mixing for adverse yaw. MODS were as follows : CA 10 oz. glass on the ca banes and repaint, made new connecting rods for the ailerons, made new and stronger end struts, cut off the stupid "rail" type engine mount and replaced with aluminum, tri stocked the engine mount area and glassed it all, added aluminum flashing in front of the gear on the bottom of the fuse. to protect from exhaust heat ( after several repairs had to be made to the covering), removed the dowel in the leading edge ,( its only about 3/4 inch long ,unbelievable) and epoxied 1 1/2 inch ones in, replaced the tail wheel with a Hayes unit, strengthened the wing saddle with light ply, put 2 elevator servos in the tail and pull pull for the rudder, cut elevators slightly for increased rudder throw (better tumbling and knife edge loops) and sealed all the gaps with clear monocote. Now this isn't as bad as it sounds to do and this thing needs most of the this for anything bigger than a 120 but, i can't tell you how much fun it is to fly this bird. It looks fantastic in the air and is capable of just about anything. I like to take off and just fly practically the whole flight on a knife edge sometimes, because it does it so well. Ground handling is great with the longer tail wheel bracket, take-offs and landings are a piece o cake, and you'll really love whats in between. Get one if you can, give it lots of ponies, do what it takes to make it safe, and have a BALL with style and grace.
