RE: Nitro Models Pitts-40 Special Design
Linkadrip,
Sorry to hear the problems with your engine, my Saito .62 has run great from day 1. I finally got to fly mine on Saturday. Only got two flights on it though, because the landing gear came off on the second landing due to pilot error. Real simple fix with no major damage.
The plane flies great though! Took quite a bit of left aileron trim but other than that it flew great and didn't notice anything bad about it at all. The Saito .62 is perfect for it with great power but not too much. It didn't seem to be pitch sensative at all and tracked straight and flew very smooth. I think I will really enjoy flying this plane.
I should have left the wheel pants off and used larger wheels the first flight because the field was not in the best shape. I can't wait to fly it again.
