Smokedat,that's a nice looking Pitts.I wonder how it's flying characteristics will compare to the one Great Planes had out a while back.If I'm not mistaken it looks to be about the same size too.
Also do you know when this bird will be on the market?

It looks to be the same Pitts they have had for a few years now, but in MUCH better color options.
Last time it was in yellow and purple.

From what I have heard, it's a nice flying airplane.
Looks great in the classic scheme, and the yellow and black one!

And it's available now.

If it would balance and be 15 pounds or less I thin it would fly very scale like.
I was flying a byron pitts back in the day with a quadra 35 at 15 pounds getting about 7700 rpms from a zinger 18-6-10.
Not over powered. Had to be flown like a real plane. energy management etc.
If you have a DLE 30 it might be worth a shot.
The 50cc would be better though.

If you have one go for it just keep it really light but the 50cc would offer better performance
