RE: Scratch Building 1/4-Scale Pitts Model-12

I was surprised to hear that the tube jig for building didn't go that well. Building inverted using a forward box works well even if the box tapers aft, though probably heavier than formers only. I...

RE: Scratch Building 1/4-Scale Pitts Model-12

It looks to fly very well and don't fret about a bounce on an early flight... your entitled to time to get familiar with the plane and beyond any jitters associated with the maiden of a self designed...

RE: Scratch Building 1/4-Scale Pitts Model-12

I think the location is more critical if if the plane has generous wing area as if it is ready to fly before the tail comes up... it will fly before elevator authority is optimal. You are right...
