I recently aquired a hangar in my little town. They don't come up very often, and so I jumped on the opportunity to move my 9A project into a hangar that has a neighbor. My neighbor is a Hot looking little Red Pitts that is currently resting in the corner. I believe it's an S1-C. It has a Lyco 290G 125horse engine and it looks like the old builder was very meticulous and did a great job. I don't know any details of the Pitts as far as engine time, logs, AD's complied with, etc yada yada. I did hear from the airport manager that it was damaged on a rumway mishap and then rebuilt by the owner.
My agreement was that I could move into the hangar as long as the Pitts could keeps its home until the owners wife sells it. You see, the fellow who built it recently died of bone cancer and his widow is in Hawaii for who knows how long.
Anyhow, I've enviosioning myself in that sporty little thing. I must admit, the thought is intimidating for this 300 hour non-tailwheel, no hair on the chest, pilot. I know I could fly her, but landing it would be another story. I know I could do it after spending some time with Mr. Budd Davisson in Scottsdale. See www.airbud.com. Have I gone insane! She sure is purty!
Anybody out there have some time in a Pitts and would care to share their experience?
