This is the Pitts Model 12. It is an aerobatic biplane designed in 1995 and had many nicknames. These of which ranged from "Bolshoi", "Macho Stinker" and "Pitts Monster.” 59 models manufactured at $180,000. Another option is to buy a kit at $50,000. I personally love this plane for aerobatics and I have a R/C replica of the Viking from the Scandinavian Airshow. A joy to fly!
