The Next Pitts!!

the Next Pitts... things are moving along.. and one day we will likely reveal ALL the background as to why we are changing aircraft. Rest assured, it has absolutely NOTHING to do with the condition of the one we operate now, and in fact, if it weren't for "forces" beyond our control, we would not be going through this lengthy and expensive process.. anyway.. here's some photo's of the "progress". Thats a Lycoming AEIO 360 fresh from overhaul by Performance Engines. They have balanced it to well beyond the factory spec, and the intake's have been polished and its a great colour! I know, thats kinda silly,.. but I do like a good looking engine! will be interesting to experience how it performs. The horse power output is quite a bit more than our current one, and the empty weight is almost the same. Also, this Pitts has a latest generation propellor... should be interesting!
