Pitts checkout IL or IN

Any recommendations for a Pitts special check out in the Chicago area (anything within a 5 hours drive)?

My hangar neighbor Steve recommends Nick Scholtes. I trust Steve. His day job is cropdusting, and he was the instructor that took my son to solo in the rental J3 at C77.

The Pitts is a great airplane. I did my training in an S2A. I still want one when I grow up.

You can buy a Pitts or you can grow up. You can't do both!

(The S2A is the sweet spot of the Pitts family!)

Sadly, I've done neither.
