I dont think it is a Pitts but it is close, it could be a mix of all three: weeks, ultimate, and pitts.... the Interplane struts that hold the top wing dont look right for either of those planes thou

Ken the wings on this plane are different lengths, the bottom wing is shorter. The wings on the S1-C both the wing spans are the same

Looks like a weeks to me as well except for the canopy, the weeks had a little more of a bubble I thought.

How big is the plane, it might be an old Ace/Miles Reed kit?

ISC used to offer an ARF model that used the G62, it was Sean Tuckers 1-800-COLLECT Pitts Challenger II if memory serves me.

I think the PJ was plans built. Maybe Walt Moucha?

It also has some similarity to a Skybolt. Cowl, tail.

Sorry can't help more.

ALSO<

Here is a review of the plans built PJ295. It looks to be about the same size, flew with a G-62. I think this is the one I've seen. I believe the one I saw also had the I-struts like yours. Easy to understand why some might make that change! The cabane struts are a dead giveaway.

I think DA2000 Hit it dead on, that picture he posted looks almost exactly like mine if you were to change the colors of it. Thank you DA2000
