Hi Thanks for the replies so far, useful stuff!
In reply to wide body; I am in a hangarage waiting list at the moment so am not in need of aircraft immediately. I think the S1C would be great - I currently have very little experience in aerobatics ( a couple of loops and spins during PPL a long time ago) . But I hope to progress and that I wont have to buy a new aircraft after a couple of years. I would rather get the right one at the start that I can grow into. (But it must be a Pitts. Childhood dream! ) so I think I am looking for S1S prices.
The 500man; The aircraft at the top of that list is the one I saw at 46k. I will keep an eye on that site though.
Silvaire1; USA is aviation dreamland for me; so many great places to go and such a great attitude towards aviation. There does not seem to be too many Pitts on the market over here (UK) though.
