HELP IDENTIFY THIS PLANE
Hi everyone, I have had this plane for a few months now and the guy I got it from didnt know anything about it except that it takes a G-62 for a motor. I am wondering if any one knows the name of the plane and maybe the company that made the kit and or arf. I doubt it was an arf thou beacuse it looks like it was built up.
Thanks for the Help! Jon |

Re: HELP IDENTIFY THIS PLANE
is it wood or foam construction? It is about the right size to be a byron if it is foam.

Re: HELP IDENTIFY THIS PLANE
Hey Jon,
I'm not sure what it is, but it looks like a plane that you should give to me to replace my destroyed Ulti.

Re: HELP IDENTIFY THIS PLANE
I believe he did. Week's Solution was a hybrid of a Pitts and an Ultimate.
It looks like an Ultimate with rounded wingtips and tailfeathers. This model looks a lot like a Solution, but you're right, the cockpit does look out of place.

Re: HELP IDENTIFY THIS PLANE
The Weeks does have the cockpit at the rear and both wings are tapered.

Re: HELP IDENTIFY THIS PLANE
After a bit of research and looking at many photos and 3-views, I am convinced that this is indeed a Pitts S1-SS. The Pitts S1-SS is the same as the Pitts S1-C except it has the "Super Stinker" aileron technology. It has four ailerons as you see here in this model.
Have a look at this link. http://www.steenaero.com/PittsS1/
