Randy,
Yes mine came with the N number and the Pitts script. I can't remember now if they were on a seperate decal sheet or not. I've been flying the plane about 2 years and this was the first deadstick I ever had with it. One of the guys at the field bought it and never opened the box. He changed his mind and traded it to another guy for another plane and I bought it still new in the box from him. I think I ended up paying about $250 for it. I put a Saito 1.50 with APC 17x6 on it. I have been pleased with that combo. The planes flies real well and that engine has always ran perfect. I have to be easy on the throttle for a scale looking take off. If I punch the throttle it will practically leap into the air. I adjusted the high speed needle yesterday and I think I got it a tad lean. I didn't do any modifications to the plane except for using a different tailwheel setup. I did remove the bolts inside the fuse that secure the cabane struts and lock tite them. I heard about them sometimes vibrating loose and that could be a bad situation. I used a 24 oz. tank instead of the stock 18 oz.
