Default Work in Progress

Some of you may have seen some of my other posts with some pictures of my Pitts S-1C Special that I've been working on. I have been keeping a build log on my website if any of you would like to check it out. I have also finished creating a video of some footage I took a while back. It is the time elapse application of a Steen Aerolb wood leading edge. ENJOY!!

The flyby video was sweet, a tip though, less music, more airplane, but still cool!!

Hey, the fly in video there, that antonov bipe, where is it from? I know there was about 6 of them up here, one was identical to that one.

cool stuff!

I plan on putting an IO-360 in it with 10-1 high compression pistons and a fixed pitch 76" wood prop. Should be about 220hp. Thanks for the comments and nice words, glad you liked the videos John. The antonov is from around the Houston area, not sure exactly what airport though.

I am currently working towards my Private Pilot License. I turned 16 last Septemnber and soloed the family plane on my birthday. I have been flying acro for about two years now, but I haven't done any competition yet. So far I have about 240 hours of flying, mostly in taildraggers like my Pitts.
