Default great planes pitts

The brackets I purchased from Lowes were just plain old metal "L" brackets for shelving. I did have to cut and grind and drill them to make them fit. It was some work but it came out good and the new brackets are much stronger.

This one had 2 foreward and 2 aft.

I was real lucky that my Moki flamed out in about 3 minutes and dead sticked in or I am sure the top wing would have broke right off. I had just got the model trimmed out and flying good didn't even do any radical stuff before it broke.

I will try to post some pics of the brackets I made.
