I've posted pictures I took at the Lakeland Florida World Aerobatic Championships on Shutterfly. You can view the pictures without joining Shutterfly: The links are for each of the last 3 days of the contest (July...

Help! I am a graduate student conducting research on student pilots and flight schools. Have you ever been 'fed-up' with a flight school and quit? Lousy experience? Bad CFIs? Poor reliabilty? Took all your $$$... I need to survey YOU! PLEASE help me and take my survey. It will only take a few...

We are a group of three German aerobatic pilots seeking a Pitts S-1S, preferably N-registered, with a 200 hp Lycoming. Regarding the Pitts, we are beginners. As every plane has its typical "teething troubles", we wish to get in contact with S-1S owners/sellers/pilots who are willing to offer their...

Greetings, I'm looking at purchasing a good used Pitts S-1D with "C" wings. I can't imagine why anyone would make this combination but I'm thinking it will keep me on the learning curve for quite some time anyway. I've read the difference between the "C" and "D" wings are an extra set of...

While recently doing some extended inverted time, practicing rolling out on headings while still trying to maintain altitude, I noted some brake fluid had leaked onto the pedals and got rather slippery. I hadn't noticed this before, as most of my stuff so far has been positive Gs. I'm assuming...

Does anyone have experience with the Pitts Canopy conversion available from AVIAT? It's a bit difficult to determine from their discription - but it appears that you can configur it so that either the fron or the back can be covered - or you can fly with both cockpits open. Is this a proper...

I have a recently bought Pitts S1-C and I am trying to get its new airworthiness certificate since the one it had became void at the change of ownership. The FAA, however, wants a letter stating that the S1-C is an aerobatic airplane which seems like complete bull to me. I'm wondering where I could...

Mark your calendars for the biggest Pitts Fly-In EVER. A gathering of Pitts - pilots, planes, manufacturers**, vendors** by special request and in honor of Curtis Pitts, 87 years young - special guest. At Blackwell Field (71J), Ozark, Alabama - hosted by Marshall Collins and friends. Fri - ...

Anyone know the N- registration number of the Pitts Special N.1 Prototype? Mirco.

Hi- I've a few questions concerning S1 types. The -C I know has an AEIO-320, with ailerons on the lower wing. The -S, I believe, has an AEIO-360 along with four ailerons. Must it also have a constant speed prop to be a true S1S? And how does the -S differ from the -T? Lastly, can anyone...

I have an older Pitts S-1 project I an trying to finish. It has Sparcraft 4 aileron wings. The old plans I have do not show the CG range. Does anyone flying a Pitts like this know what the CG range should be? Thanks!

In the early 1980's, my father and I built a Pitts S-1 in Canada. It was painted in an almost "stock" Pitts paint scheme, overall white with international orange sunburst on wings and tail and fuselage striping , and bahama blue leading edges and pin-striping. Canadian registration was C-GRZF,...

Having just read Budd Davisson's pirep for the S-1-11B, I was wondering if anyone here had actually flown one. The reports make it sound wonderful, but I've never seen one. What's the catch? -Dave Russell N2S-3

I was planning on purchasing the Aircraft Spruce S2A hardware kit for an S1C. I wanted to check and see if the sheet metal on the S2A is held together with 10-32 screws as it is on my aircraft, a quick yes or no would be all I need. Thanks!

Gidday, I'm new here. If this has recently been covered I appologise! I'm looking to modify a stock S1-S fuse so that I can lay the seat back a little more. I know this has been done before, does anyone have any experience? I was thinking to replace the cross tube at the top of the seat back with...

Hi everyone. Are there many Pitts Special owners or pilots here? I am chasing after information about various Pitts Specials and also photographs of as many of these aircraft as I can get to add to the Pitts Special page in the CNAPG web site. Can anyone help out? information can be posted here...
