Default I agree

Hear, hear!
Just had a great day of flying my Pitts. Sunny, with calm winds and about 40 other planes and 20 other pilots around at the field.
G-38 magneto and a regular old FM receiver. You can have and fly one of these for $1K, and that's a good deal.

The comments from the peanut gallery indicate that my Pitts flys very scale. Kinda fun to fly a big 'ol barrel roll on one pass, and then come back across for a giant loop (and have to think about having enough airspeed to pull over the top). I have a couple of smaller planes with a lot of extra thrust, but it seems right to have to think about making such a beautiful scale(ish) model perform a scale maneuver.
It's my first ARF, and my first gas plane, and is certainly better looking than anything I have built.
BTW, I also broke two cabane brackets, and received the replacement set (complete set) from Todd at GP within a few days of calling to request.
Congrats to GP for creating such a satisfying airplane!
