Default Pitts planes

Fidsatom,

It looks like you are looking for the S-1 single seat Pitts. This is a very rare bird to find in plans or kit with very scale lines. The Midwest kit is modeled after Gene Soucy's S-1S & was designed by Jerry Nelson. The kit fuselage design was stretched longer behind the cockpit to the tail, which was to make it more stable. The horizontal stab was also increased in size.The fuse from the top view is also much thinner, but is a great little biplane to fly.
I have a set of 1/4 scale plans from Dively Models, but they are of the S-2A - 2 seat factory built Pitts.
Are you wanting to build the S-1, S2-A or does it matter ? If you are interested in the S-2A there are more plans & kits avaible & more to scale.
