Default Kyosho Pitts Special.

Just putting the finishing touched to my Pitts Special.

Fantastic looking plane, can't wait to fly her next weekend.
Any advice or suggestions for the first flights much appreciated.[img][/img]

Another pic

The large wheels are temporary. Once I'm happy with the landings, I'll put the slightly smaller ones on.
Our strip is quite bumpy!

I have left off the tail wheel in favour of a carbon skid. I used this on my Edge 540 and found it a lot more robust. Didn't cause any steering probs on take off, not great for taxiing. Don't see why should be any different with the Pitts?
