Default Snapasaurus' new toy..Pitts 12

Snap maidened his beautiful new 41% Trueworthy Pitts Model 12 yesterday. To say it is gorgeous is an understatement! Fantastic build and finish by Tom Mikalauskus. And the Vinyl work by Bryan at Aerographix is true artwork. Printed fades on top, holographic shooting stars on the bottom. As cool as this plane looked on a cloudy day, it will be amazing once the sun hits it. Elie says he is not going to 3D it....just going to take it easy with this one....... Here are a few pics from the 1st and 2nd "trim" flights, the DA 150 on tuned pipes pulled the hell out of this thing!

Why in the world would Elie need a range test? Look at all of the photos. He could fly on the DSC cord!!!!!
