Boy, that's a fact. Not exactly an S-2, but I watched a mate of mine depart in his S-1T (200hp with wobbly prop) and that thing climbed like nothing I've ever seen with a prop. He simply pointed it upward at about a 45 degree angle and just held it all the way up to 3,500 feet by which time he levelled off because he got bored. The Pitts, any of them, can climb!
