Which pitts are you refering to? Tower Hobbies doesn't have a pitts ARF. But if you are talking about the Kyosho, I can tell ya about that. The covering is top notch. Just a little heat gun here and there. There is a clear layer over the covering, which after a few flights started to peel back. If that happens, just pull it off. Problem solved!! Great flier, if you keep the weight down. I had a 46fx and it was perfect. Then I got a wild hare and decided to put my saito 91 in it!! After you get it trimmed, it will fly like it is on a rail. Nice and straight, Aerobatics are really scale like. It has allot of roll coupling, Kinda like a cub. Aileron turns combined with the rudder help keep the coupling down. The firewall already has 2 degrees of right thrust built in. Mine did however need about 1 degree of up thrust to keep the up/downline straight without adding ele. Loops, rolls, 4 points, inverted only req minimal down, and it will tumble for days. All in all it is a great plane. Assembly is that of any arf. Just watch when screwing in the wing struts and cabane. Both are just screwed into basswood. i would suggest drilling through the fuse and put in blind nuts for the cabane as mine had to be tightened after almost ever flight. and if you are feeling really froggy you can also put them in for the wing struts too. I just put a good layer of thin CA in the holes and had no probs form the struts. I would also suggest TNT landing gear as the gear with the Kyosho ARF's are pretty week. I hope this is the plane you are reffering to. and remember, this is just my $.02!!

Oh and if you want to see pics, it is in the crash forum!!
