I too read the article and decided I just had to have one. I stopped by the hobby store and basically set up an order just like the one in the magazine - Fuji 50 and the works. Whats funny is that Rick, at RC Hobbies in Huntsville, Al. suggested I look for a product review on the net before going with this model. I also talked with the Field Director at my flying club who warned me about the Pitts being a 'touchy airplane and that it can get away from you easily'. Hm, this had me thinking I had better check this baby out before putting up the bucks.

I have a GP 1/4 Giles G-202 and a WM Giant P-51. Both use OS 160's. I am challenged by both airplanes but am thinking I can probably handle the Pitts. Then I read this review and man, I am now very concerned about things like, 'Wings coming off' and 'not able to keep the engine in place' . Then I see a response from the magazine, "biting my tongue ". Give me a break! This is not the time to bite your tongue. This is the time to stand behind what you write. Please speak up and and defend your article, or go away. I'm the one who stands to lose $1,300 or better because of bad information.

Obviously there are several people who commented on this 'review subject', and at least one person who has had a bad experience with this plane.

Would really like to hear from others on the quality of this 1/3 scale Pitts from Great Planes and also about it's true flying habits. If I can handle the planes mentioned above do you feel this would be a good selection????

Thanks for your input
