Pitts - what's the catch?
So why are Pitts Special's so cheap? A friend of mine said he saw one the other day for £20k. Thats Cesspit money. And I'm staring at an ad for an S1S with only 65 airframe hours on sale for £30k. There must be a catch surely?
By the way, I've stood on so many airfields and heard people muttering 'They are impossible to land'.....'you can't see anything'....etc...etc.... I hear this as 'I'm not confident about my flying abilities' but maybe I'm wrong. Do Pitts actually deserve their reputation? Would someone who's spent 12 years flying taildraggers (Admittedly of the unpowered type!) and perfectly happy to sideslip till the cows come home find it difficult to convert?
