Well the Pitts has been to the field again. I could not ask for a better flyer. C. R. Price has been doing all the testing and setup recommendations for me on this one. (Some of you may know C. R from the Joe Knoll fly-in at Greenville SC. He flew a Byron's Pitts there for 8 years, and is the only man I know that can fly two planes at once.) Even on the test flight his comments were that this GP Pitts flys better untuned than his Byron's did after tuning in the kit. We have had about 6 touch and goes with a combination of 3 point lands and a couple of tail first ones. I have installed the US 41 with a JR XP662 radio, and comes in at a perfect 15 lbs. The US 41 is new and not broke in yet, but it pulls the plane perfectly. It does not have unlimited vertical, but has the power to do a knife edge loop. The plane is very stable and looks fantastic in the air or on the ground. My want to say I think Great Planes has do a wonderful job with this kit. I will be posting a video on my web page showing the flights and ands on my web site soon. I will post the link as soon as I get the videos uploaded to the site.
