Pitts Special S-1 457mm laser. carved

When, in 1943 and 1944, Curtis Pitts designed and built a small acrobatic biplane, he certainly did not know that he was creating a legendary machine that would rule for many decades in competitions in most of the world - and will be produced today. And not only to manufacture, but also to build home made factory ready-made kits or even according to plans. The most famous era was the 1960s and 1970s, when the tiny pitts at the aerobatic championships handed out with our Zlin. The arrival of Zlín's "fifty" and then other supervised specials also meant for Pittsy the end of success in the Unlimited category - but still in the lower classes. However, when it comes to elegance of appearance and flight performance, today's acrobatic specials Pitts do not cover even the bottom edge of "botičky" on the chassis.

The American DUMAS Aircraft kit is an ideal modeling machine, which has at least the basic experience with the construction of small models driven by a rubber bundle (as a model for getting basic experience with classic construction we recommend to build, for example, one of the cabin horns from Guillow's or HERR) . You will be perfected in the construction of the fuselage frame of the fuselage and the wings, the paper coating and painting, the preparation and treatment of the rubber bundle, the flying - just in all those wonderful skills of pure classical modeling. There are not many buildings, not hundreds of hours of work in the workshop, thanks to the highly pre-machined laser-carved parts it is like butter.

Kit of freely flying semi-clutches of American aerobatic aircraft designed for propelling by a rubber beam. The model is a simple, classical, all-metal construction with a laser cutting carved wooden parts and plastic parts made by injection molding. The fuselage is designed with a standard miniaturization technology - first of all balsa rails, you assemble the side walls, which are connected by dams and partitions." The resulting rounded shapes can be obtained by gluing a plurality of thin slats. The wings are classical constructions made of beams and ribs, tail surfaces of balsa strips and laser-carved parts.

Pitts is also suitable for conversion to a mini RC model with electric drive - although the construction plan does not offer this option, it would not be a big problem for an experienced model and pilot. For example, you can try to use the drive unit and on-board electronics from Funtic.

Kit includes: balsa laser carved parts, balsa beams, plastic propeller with shaft and head, rubber bundle (FAI TAN II competition rubber), wheels, steel strings on the chassis and other small parts, color coated paper, MS sticker, building plan.
