I fly a CTSW and have had a go at aeros in an Extra 300 LOVED it. Flew RC models for years which clues you in to energy management and stuff. Had a blast pulling 6g loop hammerheads and a few rolls and inverted. Didnt take a feather although I'm mid 50s. Then this:
A chap in Florida has a Factory built Pitts S-1 (C I think) going cheap, so I thought It was built c1973, subsequently modded and therefore permitted, and has languished unused (300 hrs) but hangared. If I sold the CT would I be able to afford it? Would it be neccessary to register it as a homebuilt/permit plane in any european country? I wonder if the running costs would be a killer. I believe its possible to get an STC for Mogas prior to taking ownership.
