Hey, Is anybody out there flying a Pitts with Fuji 50. Mine is just about ready to go and I was just curious how you were getting along with it.

Brenden, I know you have one! Let me know how you are doing with yours.

Chuck, with Pitts

Post some pictures and let us see this new bird.

had three members of the club I belong to flying the pitts with the fugi50 & they seemed to be ok, I had a g-62 in mine & it was awesome, landings were a little rough.

Wish I could post some pics, but I've spent too many $$$ on this plane that I can't afford a digital. This is such a nifty looking plane! I can hardly wait to try my hand at flying it. I still have to put in a redundant battery to supply all those servos. I just got the extra battery pack and hope I can install it this week.

Brenden M. are you out there?

Gil,

Why was landing a little rough? I'm getting ready to fly mine for the first time and you made me nervous! I have a Quadra 52 in mine.

No problem on the camera. Hope things go well on your maiden flight. I think you will be pleased with the Fuji in this plane.

I have one with a Brison 3.2 in it. It is unbelievable. Hovers at less than 1/2 throttle, will tumble ALL the way across the sky. Landings, well all I can say is I thought I was a 1/2 decent pilot but I cannot get this thing on the ground without at least 4 hops. I have tried every speed I can from almost stalling it to a really hot landing speed. It will land 5 times trying to land it once. Funny though, I had a Christen Eagel and it landed like a trainer. Same engine.
Have fun Enjoy it.

H. Wayne s,

Have you tried releasing the elevator input when you touchdown? I have the problem with mine hopping too, but I found that if I let the elev return to neutral the tail will come up a little and the palne stays on the ground.

This is really interesting. I have no problems with bouncing on landings. In fact, I can land this plane very nicely. Conversely, I do have a good bit of trouble getting the rudder and throttle just right for take-off. Not enough throttle and little to no rudder control which can cause ground looping. Too much throttle and I have the wild thing on my hands. I think the take-off roll is similar to how a cub reacts. Just my 2 cents. Using a DA-50 for power.
