Default differemce between pitts M12 and python

I have to admit I just realized these are differene planesand therefore different models. I want to understand what is different though. Anyone knows for sure? More specifically, are differemces enough to worry about them in terms of flight performance? Or is it cloose enouth that it's ARF design that makes all the difference?

Thanks.

I think the Python is a single seat plane.

OK, so it is basically the same plane but Python is a 1-seater vs M12 being a 2-seater. Correct?

Chaps,

In terms of full size............

Model 12 - 2 seat standard Model 12 HP about 1600lbs AUW

Python/Ti12 - Single seat (obviously different canopy), front seat set up and controls deleted, larger span ailerons and tail group surfaces, different U/C, prop/motor and about 200lbs lighter than the standard Model 12HP. More use of carbon fiber.

A few other smaller differences not too appliacble to RC models.

Rob has it correct. Also, the Python has a shorter span wing. Kimball also used the 400HP engine, but either engine would work. Scott
