Well everyone here are some photos. This Pitts Started out as a short kit from G & L Hobbies in Tennessee. I am putting a ZDZ 210 in this beast as we speak! For servos I have 8 Hitec 5937's and all those are getting tied into a smartfly power expander including the throttle, choke, and smoke servos. I will have a 50 oz gas tank in it with a 30 oz smoke tank.

Here are some photos from it currently. Enjoy!

Jon
