Re: Hangar 9 Pitts 12R "The Beast"

I assume that QQ is using a DA 100 in the video from Joe Nall? The plane seems to GROSSLY overpowered!

I just saw the video of the Beast on Horizon's web site. Are the top and bottom wings on the Beast one piece or two piece? I canot tell from the Horizon web info or video.

It appears from the parts listed on Horizon that the top wing has a center, left, and right wing panel. The bottom wing just has left, and right panels.

Tell me the heart that he did in the video was "sped up?""

" flight characteristics that blurs the line between 3D and precision aerobatic performance"
Hmm... where have I heard that before??

Looks like one heck of a deal....
at that price, I wonder if it will go UP!????

QQ should be flying that plane with the engines that Horrizon imports...
if not the 115 then the 80cc that they have...
Especially the way the economy is right now... Not sure why horrizon did that..

I can't wait till I can afford one !! It looks like an awesome plane... and my favorite plane ever is QQ's Yak w/a 100cc in it . Hopefully the release time will be just right for me...

Congratulations QQ, Kevin and family and Horizon !!

Re: Hangar 9 Pitts 12R "The Beast"

I don't think HH number one goal is to design plane to push their engines! I think they want to have a market for their planes. Now number one 100cc engine is DA, there are over what 7-10K of those engines already in the market! Therefore, there is a greater chance that we have a DA100 on the shelf or wanting to buy one because of their excellent support and performance! Apparently they are also showing the plane with their line of engine Evolution 80GX as well.

I really think they respect their products for what they are rather than making a plane just to be a bait for their other line of product! That's just my thoughts and I could very well be wrong. I know Quique always loves to show his planes in the best way they would perform. Just the way he is.

As for the heart video, I am sure they just sped it up given the video was very short!

If you go to their website the recomended engines for this plane are the DA 100 or the Evolution 80 with a tuned pipe. Basically they are saying that it takes the same power as the old QQ python. Just substituted the Evolution for the DA 85. The 116 would be putting a lot of stress on a very lightly built plane. Power wise and weight wise.

Oh yeah and mine is ordered!!!!

Just like an old QQ Python.

Two top wings (with a center cabane/wing), and two bottom wings.

I met Que Que yesterday with the beast right behind him and I'm really wanting that to be my first giant plane. He said it would take about 10 minutes or so to assemble it a the field but after I got home I was wondering how the I-Stuts mount.
