Pitts Special S-1S !!!!

1,635 EatMyJetFuel  7.3 years ago

This Pitts special S-1S is a light aerobatics airplane built by Curtis Pitts. The pitts special dominated in aerobatic competitions since 1944 to the 1970's, even today the Pitts special is a good compeditor in the lower aerobatic catergories, replaced by planes like the extra 330 (which I want to build :P) I am SUPER PROUD of this airplane, I have put in a TON of work and this is by far my best airplane ever!!!!! and possibly by last, as summer is almost over and next summer (and w winter) and the summers after I probarbly wont have time - who knows. I really hope you enjoy I have put my heart and soul into this airplane I love the flight chaaracteristics and the look of it :) and I highly reccoment doing a hammer head turn, looking at your horizon indicator (left wind that diamond thing) and ining it with the horizon gogin verticaly, cutting the throttle and kiking in left rudder at 50 mph. :) ENJOY!!!!!!!
