I just received my new, blue Cermark Pitts and couldn't be happier. My original Red one is now 2 years old and remains one of my favorites, but after looking at the new one I think I will like it even better. The blue sheme is much better in person than the pictures and the covering is head and shoulders above the original. The gear is painted and has lightening holes, the spinner and pants, and cowl too are painted near perfectly.
The cabanes are now aluminum and should eliminate any fears of them blowing apart as I had read the old ones did (mine are still holding strong after 2 years of violent tumbling). The interplane struts have an ingenious integrated thumb screw setup which should eliminate any tools for their assembly and are prealigned at the factory. The cowl too is premounted (as was the original). Elevator servos are now in the tail. The pull pull worked fine but assembly should be much easier. If it flies as well as the original, it should be a winner. cbk
