I agree with the 2 vs 4 aileron servos....two really are enough...the Pitts is pretty responsive and the roll rate is pretty high. I fly mine with 65% to 70% expo on the aileron just to calm it down a bit. Ground handling is great, and you may want to consider a CF tailwheel assy. There is no question that lighter will fly better...Let us know how it turns out.

I may just pull the onboard out of mine and lighten it up a little....

I think is is one of my best flying planes to date. It is easy to get back and forth to the field and store. I have converted this Pitts, like all of my planes to electric power. I use an AXI 5330/F3 on 10 cells of lipoly and swing a 20/12 prop. When I fly it at fun flys the gas guys can not believe it is electric. This conversion was the easest conversion I have done. All that was needed was an battery box for the lipolys, and you can insert the lipolys from underneeth though the factory cut out no problem.
