RE: Nitro Planes Pitts Python 60
That is a GREAT flying plane.
It is lightly built, so be aware that this is purposely done.
The instructions are horrible, but if you're tackling this plane about all you need is the C.G. and throws anyway.
I'd recommend going over joints with CA or epoxy to re-inforce, and also re-inforce the gear area.
Some will claim the gear is too weak. I don't find that so, as I'd prefer the gear to splay out during hard landings so as to protect the fuse and plane. However if you load the plane down with too much weight the lightness of the gear material may be an issue. You can substitute CF gear from other manufacturers if so.
To keep the plane looking new year after year, I'd also recommend spraying the plane ( not the canopy though ) with TopFlite Clear Coat spray.

GMS 1.20 with a Pitts Muffler.
I had to move my 3000mAh battery pack into the wood nose box to balance the plane but that was it.
I have my servos pretty much set up as shown in the advertizement, although I'm using a Matchbox for the elevator servos.
I prefer this over two separate channels, as the matchbox moves both servos identically.
