Re: 50% Pitts Python M12 Scratch Build

OK Karl... Now you've done it. You've inspired me to work on my "little" 41% Pitts tomorrow. Still thinking about selling it but if I finish up the couple things that I want to fix and it hasn't sold I'm flyin it.

From what I'm told once I fly it there's no way I'm sellin it... so if anybody wants it, NOW's the time!

I think that's for the wing walker to hold on to!

Lol.... half of me wants to and half of me is a little scared... the whole "one of a kind" thing freaks me out a little... especially when I've never flown anything that big before. When I bought it I planned on getting a 40% mono as my main plane but now I can't afford two big birds.

She's up on her feet. Kind of wobbly at the moment. Like a fawn taking her first steps. She needs some muscle in those legs.

Notes: The weight is 22 lbs. as is but does not include the prop and canopy but does include the tail servos.

This to me seems pretty good. I am used to 40% weights and 19 lbs in the bones ready to cover is a good weight. At least for Carden.

It felt really tail heavy so I piled 25 lbs of lead in the cowl where the engine will sit. I then picked it up and the cg was well forward of the forward cg. So I think we're still in good shape for tail weights.

That Sucks. Make you a deal on a 37% Carden Yak 54/55.

Now back to the Pitts..

That is coming together really well. It looks sweet on the legs, and now your going to have to keep the little one from riding it around basement when your upstairs.
