has anyone flown the great planes pitts with a g-62? what are the flight chracteristics? i should be test flying mine next week. i am running 4 hi torque servos on ailerons, 2 on elevator & 2 on rudder, can'y wait to fly, will post first flight hit's & misses, this is the most beautiful & well built arf i have ever seen, if any one has flown this plane please reply in detail so i will be ready for first flight.

I flew mine last week with a Brisson 3.2 engine. Plenty of power. Turns 22-10 prop at 6,500 rpms. I think you'll find you'll have to add some tail weight on your plane to get the CG right. My engine is lighter than G-62. Don't fly the plane too nose heavy, it will be erratic at different throttle settings. Be sure to have enough elevator travel...you'll need it for the landing flair. Also add about 2 degrees of down thrust to the engine mount and it should be fine. Keep the speed up on landing approaches. Don't chop the throttle and let it settle down on its own. You need to fly it down over the runway about at 1/4 throttle then chop throttle and land. Its a nice flying plane. I beefed up my firewall with fiberglassing to strengthen the area. Be sure if you mounted your throttle servo in the engine compartment you don't get any radio interference while the engine is running. Be sure to do a radio distance check while the motor runs up. I didn't like the throttle servo so close to the engine ignition..in your case magneto
Good Luck,
Bob

Flew mine for the first time last weekend. Has an FPE 2.4. I balanced at rear of recomended CG. Very stable aircraft w/ no bad tendecies. Tracks straight on take off and does slow down fast w/ throttle is chopped. Has nice axial rolls, and tracks well through loops. Rudder has a lot of authority, nice wing overs and stall turns. Knife edge requires very little cross controls. Motor turns a 20x10 prop about 6300 rpm. Plenty of power for normal aerobatics. Dont do 3D. Weighs about 15#. I am quite happy w/ it.

Do you think a Brison 2.4 will give unlimited performance for this plane ?

No.

Will be waiting results of your test fly too, as I am using a G62 up front. Just got my plane April 2. Will be using four servos on wing too.
Keep us informed on all the flights of all the PITTS
