You're going to love this plane. It flies sweet! Where did you get that spinner from?

Re: Fonz Red Bull Pitts 12 build
Mine hold up great. no problems so far. Almost zero wing flex too. Looks like yours are bigger than mine so you should be good to go. I don't do any hard 3-d with mine though.
If that tail wheel is the stock fiberglass one - throw it away now - you will only be replacing it after the first or second flight. My landings are usually super smooth, it's the only thing I can do well, and mine broke almost in half.

Re: Fonz Red Bull Pitts 12 build
I reckon you are going to have way more power than you need for 3d with that engine. Mine goes great with a 111 on a 28X10. Yours will be plain sick! Did you have to add much weight?
Here is my maiden
