The Pitts is high due to the engine runout I suspect, TBO is so short.

Actual engine TBO for a Pitts used for aerobatics is 600-700 hours.
Factory list TBO is 2000(?)

I would think that additional insurance prices would also be necessary to
cover the occasional payout for blotched aerobatics, ending in destruction
of the plane, and occasional demise of the pilot. :-( Add to that, the
tricky ground handling causing ground loops, bent gear, and bent wings, ect.

I could be wrong, then....
Nevermind! :-)
