Hi,

I've been doing some researching for a while, but haven't found any
recent topics. I would like to hear some comments/experiences about
Pitts S-2A and the Zlin 142. Is there any way to find decent specimens
of these for under 65K?

I am under the impression that the Pitts is a much more capable acro
machine, but it seems the setup of the Zlin (tricycle gear) would be
more conducive to using it for upset training and private/commercial
training while also enabling me to do/instruct acro for a lot less
insurance cost (since all my time would be tricycle-type gear time by
the time I'm ready to purchase). But I may be way off on what it cost
to get a decent 142 these days. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
