Pitts questions

I'm an old A & P that used to make my living wrenching on those funny
little dehydrated biplanes. I loved 'em and I still do.
I hope this helps, and I hope it's not too much more than you needed to
know.

Mate,
it was just what I wanted to hear. Can anything be done to make them STOL a
bit?

Or something as much fun that can STOL (1000 feet grass) and be built in the
shed?

I regularly fly my S1S, which happens to be the first certified (factory
built) Pitts, into and
out of an 1800' grass strip that a friend lives next to, and I don't use it
all.
I like it when they don't cut the grass when I land, but short grass is
better going out.

I wish I had the photo I have in my hangar to post here. It shows an F-16 in
a tractor shed
on a farm.

Anything can be STOL in the right circumstances.
