When in 1943 and 1944 Curtis Pitts constructed and built a small aerobatic biplane, certainly had no idea that creates a legendary machine that will dominate for decades competitions in most of the world - and will produce today. And not only produce, but also to build a home from the factory ready kits or even just as planned. The most famous era of the 60s and 70 summer, when it tiny Pitts aerobatic championships handed out to our Zlín. The advent of Zlin "fifty", and other specials supervyšlechtěných also meant the end for Pitts success in the Unlimited category - but still rank among the lower classes. However, as regards the appearance of elegance and air of expression does not extend today's specials acrobatic Pittsům or to the bottom "booties" on the chassis.
Kit U.S. firms DUMAS Aircraft is the ideal machine for hobbyists who already has at least basic experience in building small models powered by rubber (as the very model of obtaining experience with classical building is recommended to build as one of the high-wing cabin from Guillow's or HERR) . You will improve in the works "žbrdličkové" fuselage and wings, paper coating and painting, preparation and maintenance of the rubber volume zalétávání - just all those wonderful skills modelařiny genuine classic. At the same time the building is not much you expect hundreds of hours in the workshop thanks to a highly preprocessed laser engraved works it goes like clockwork.
Kit semiscales free-flying American aerobatic aircraft designed for propulsion by rubber. The model is simple but classic balsa construction in Rozsyp with laser carved wooden parts and plastic parts drawn by injection molding. The hull is constructed normal minimaketářskou technology - first of balsa wood strips to assemble side that connect polopřepážkami and bars. The resulting curves get stuck after a large number of thin stringers. The wings are the classic design of beams and ribs, tail strips of balsa wood and laser-carved pieces.
Pitts is also suitable for conversion to a miniature RC model with electric drive - although a construction plan does not offer this option for experienced modelers and pilots would not be a big problem. For example, you can try to use the drive unit and onboard electronics of the model Funtic.
Kit includes: Laser cut balsa parts, balsa wood beams, plastic propeller shaft and head, rubber harness (FAI contest rubber TAN II), bicycles, steel strings on chassis and other small parts, colored lining paper sheet of stickers, building plan.
