Default New 3W Pitts Bulldog

Guys, I think I found the perfect plane for my 212!! All wood construction covered in Ultracote, easy to fix when I crunch it What do you think? A little spendy, but what isn't these days?

Hello and good afternoon, i have been checking out the comments about this 3W Pitts bulldog...
I would like to know where i can purchase one of these planes..I need one like i need broken leg..Because i already have 7 pitts airplanes in my garage 5 of wich i fly two works in progress..
Rangeing from 50cc pitts to 150cc pitts...From S1,s to pythons to pitts challengers...An airplane like this i could use quite nice..
Any help on where to get one of these would be great...
Thanks
Some people call me crazzy..

Nice looking weeks, and yea i think that it should have enough power..But it's still not a pitts..
By the looks of how things are going on the weeks, i would say that you should have it finished by the time that a pitts arrives so don't let that stop you..
I am building a pitts similiar in size to your weeks, and i have a Exclusiv Modellbau Pitts waiting for me to get started on it, might have to wait a little longer however..
The more biplanes at the flying feild the better i always say..The rest all look the same after a while..
