Need a .60 sized Pitts or Skybolt Bipe kit
 

I'm trying to track down a .60 kit for a Pitts or Skybolt. I'd really like to find a new-in-box SIG Skybolt kit or need to track down a manufacturer of a nice Pitts kit.

Can anyone recommend a nice .60 sized Pitts (or similar) kit ??

I checked kitcutters.com and they have 3 or 4 Pitts kits but I'd prefer to get a complete kit with hardware/plans/etc...

Thanks, Eric

Eric, the Great Planes Super Skybolt is one of the best flying bipes I've ever flown. And while I personally feel that it's a sacrilege to put a 2-stroke on one, a 60 will pull it very well

Ditto to what Mike said. If you can scrape up the cash, my Magnum 120 flys the SNOT out of mine.

Eric,
Sent you a PM on the SIG Skybolt.

Thanks !!

I just ordered a GP Skybolt and ....drum-roll........a YS1.10......

I'm having a little buyers remorse...please tell me the YS is gonna fly the crap outta this plane [X(]

If you're still looking for a NIB Sig SkyBolt, I've got one for sale.

GP Skybolt and YS 110? <DROOL>

Here's a video of my GP Skybolt with a YS 91 (Oh yea, you're gonna love it)

Minnflyer,

Great video - thanks !! Looks like the .91 pulls it with authority and sounds great !! I'm at around 5000ft MSL so I loose some power on any give engine so I usually go for some overkill and end up just about right. The 1.10 at my altitude may equal a .91 at sea level - roughly I'm guessing.

I really like the effect of smoke but have never tried it....what system do you use ? - it looks like it works quite well.

Thanks, Eric

Hi,

I feel inadaquate now with only my GMS .76 [&o]

Someday I will give it a nose job and add a 120 4 stroke. Here are a few pics of mine. More with build pics on my website below if your interested.

Enjoy.
