Its lightweight construction and high power-to-weight ratio create a uniquely energetic aircraft with outstanding 3D capability.

Mini Pitts Kit Review
Excellent kit, perfect fit for all parts.I used the TH digital power combo and only had to remove ~2mm of foam for the elevator servo to fit correctly. I also used the CF upgrade because I fly in sub-freezing temps where the included ABS horns get brittle. glue: Beacon mods: Real wheels, reversed AIL pushrods like 30" battery: 2s 370mah nano tech

Mean machine
Absolutely by far the best little machine i own. Now the collection starts i'm taken away with the way it snaps and rolls. Crashes and gets back up and keeps going. Mini pitts are just to much fun. :-)
