Hostetler Pitts S1-11
Hey All,
Going to start building a 35% Pitts from hostetler plans, (purchased here on RCU) and I have a couple Questions.
First off, The plans state finished weight at 22-26 lbs. I am going to lighten it up a bit as all the wing ribs are shown solid and I am going to cut lightening holes in all but main ribs for mounting.
Also in some of the fuselage will be some lightening done. All up finished weight I am shooting for is around 18 lbs. or so.
What servos and engine size for this plane?
Would like to do a conversion engine as I am on a tight budget .
I appreciate any and all info given. Has anyone here built this plane, and if so, what motor and servos did you use? How did it fly?
Thanks in advance, David
