Pitts Special S1S

Got the plans mostly stitched together!

I have now built the upper and lower wings and cut out all the foamboard pieces. The wings were a bit finicky due to the semi symmetric mod. But it is all fitting together quite well so far.

Now I have got the wing and servos installed, It is a little off from the plans, but I got it to look good.

got the formers all dry fit, now onto making the wing support and guing it all together.

got the skins on!

now I got the top wing mounted!

Got it mostly done, all I have left is to paint it, and add the landing gear. All in all, this was a very challenging build do to not much lining up. But I think that was partly my mods (semi-symmetrical airfoil). It is a great build for if ya are wanting a challenge.
