Pitts S1 in QLD
Anyone got a pitts S1 of any variant in Queensland ? Just wondering.:8
|
There are a few around in Qld and another to be ferried up there from Vic next month.
|
DJPIL I thought their must be some up here because I think i have seen a photo somewhere of a few getting around possibly at wattsbridge. That seems to be the place for aerobatic aircraft up here. Id just like to have a good look around one.
|
Get out to Watts Bridge 7-9 June for the Qld aerobatic championships. VH-TIT at least should be there.
|
I will certainly try and get out there for that. I have been meaning to go out to watts bridge for a while now. Are you a member of the Australian Aerobatic Club?
|
VH-TIT at least should be there. |
Did you buy it off Sperou Wiz?
Gawd, it will be about 33 years old now :( |
No tinny,
It had a couple of owners between Chris and me. Yes she's been around, but with Rag and tube aeroplanes you just do a periodis re-build and they're as good as new. |
periodic rebuild |
UPU also needed some serious repairs on the top wing centre-section in the early '90s and was rebuilt fully again about 5 years ago so just like new now.
The current owners of TIT aren't quite as fastidious as Wiz so I definitely won't be kissing it. |
My hangar mate has a lovely example for sale at the moment - pm me if you want contact details. Only drawback is that it's on the other side of the country from QLD!

Are you a member of the Australian Aerobatic Club? Anyway, MCKES, I'm unable to speak on behalf of the organisers of the contest at Watts Bridge however I am sure that you'd be welcome. And you won't need an ASIC. If you want to make sure - ring Tracy (see AAC website) and ask but be warned that she'll probably give you a job! |
The AAC Code of Silence is so secret that DJPil and I each had to wear paper bags over the head when he did my 1500' low level waiver last year. It's a bit limiting for visibility but once you've flown a Pitts you get used to not being able to see anything straight ahead, anyway. Next time we'll have to negotiate putting eyeholes in the paper bags....:cool:
