Some info for you and the others about the airplane Quique has at Clover Creek. First, it is NOT a Python. This one is Ti-12. Ti-12 is a full size airplane we are now finishing up. The Ti-12 is based on our full scale Pitts Model 12 two seat design that we build and offer as kits. Python was the name we gave to ONE airplane not a type or style of airplane. Ti-12 is a name we have given to this ONE airplane. Not all monoplanes are extras and not all biplanes are Pitts.

The QQ airplane in the photos is a special "2 of a kind" Ti-12 model (primary and back up) and is powered by a DA200 on new MTW pipes. It is a work of art and Quique is very happy with it. QQAC has not yet specified the sizes of the ARF Ti-12 they will offer. I don't know what size he is thinking of making. For now, congrats to Quique and all those who made the airplane possible for a cool debut at Clover Creek!

Thank you for the clarification...I was mislead because of the single place canopy (or so it looks like ) Either way it should be a badass plane. Thanks...MikeC3D

Everyone is getting to the field right now.
There is a little fog hanging in the air right now but it has been burning off pretty quickly each day I have been here.

IMAC classes will fly their Unknown and Knowns then the Invitational will fly their sequences and Fresstyle.
I think after that, Unlimited and Sportsman will fly a single sequence Known round.

Busy day. Check back here for pics and written updates.
