Default Great Planes Pitts

I myself have purchased one of the Great Plane Pitts. I must admit
that its probally the best ARF that I have ever seen. Everything went together perfectly, no sanding was needed. There were
only a few problems that I came across. The flying wire that they gave you frays apart after its been cut. Go to you local fishing bait shop and buy 15 lb. steel leader cable. Works much better and will fit into all the Great planes hardware. I installed a Fox 3.2
in mine and it came out at 17 lbs. I placed my servos in the tail
installing two for the elevators and two for the rudder. I also used
4 in the airlerons. I read the other forum that advised about the spinner flying apart, so I will change mine before the first flight.
I also read about the gear. Mine does not seem to be that flexible.
So if you are think about purchasing one Go for it its a beautiful
ARF A heck of a lot better that some of Hanger 9 stuff.
