New ARF Request! We need one of these.

We need one of these including the color scheme. For those of us who prefer more traditional color schemes, this is perfect. Bipes seem popular now so that fills another requirement. Something in 50 - 61 or 70 size would be nice.

Pilot will do custom schemes on request. With some basic woodwork and fiberglass work it'd be easy to modify a Pilot bipe real quick

Kind of looks like a Ultimate with those wings and tail. Anything biplane is great with me.

At first glance I thought it was an Ultimate. Tail kinda looks like an old “One Design” mono.

Wooo Hooo!

I like a Pitts with round wing tips and rudder. My old Pitts from years back had that…. It was an S1C with only 160 hp. When the wings got changed out and there were ailerons on the top wing, things got a bit more lively….
It was a flying go kart and a ton of fun!

I never had the pleasure of flying a full scale Pitts. Probably a good thing as I clearly didn’t have the experience to tackle an S1!

I probably prefer the round wings and tail but the squared off look has grown on me over the years.

That scheme really reminds me of the '1st generation' Aeroworks Ultimate, with the flying wires!

Can we PLEASE stay away from combinations of pink, purple, orange, and light blue for a while.....go with a classic dark blue, red and white, or black and yellow (and maybe white), with some 'large' checkboard pattern on the bottom of the wings

I am a red and yellow kind of guy, but don’t mind a bit of dark or royal blue trim especially when used for a checkerboard effect on the bottom of the wing. I also prefer relatively straight line trim schemes. I dislike color schemes with lots of swooping lines and points that are hard to maintain. I rarely use the word hate, but I hate any black unless it is used for a pinstripe effect. Black behaves poorly in Sun! I don’t like the rest of the airplane, looking nice, and the black looking like a prune! It looks ok but I think silver is being used a bit too much these days.
