We are a group of three German aerobatic pilots seeking a Pitts S-1S, preferably N-registered, with a 200 hp Lycoming. Regarding the Pitts, we are beginners. As every plane has its typical "teething troubles", we wish to get in contact with S-1S owners/sellers/pilots who are willing to offer their...

Was hoping to get a bit of expertise here. I'm in the market for an emergency bailout chute for flying in my Pitts S-1D. The top US contenders seem to be National and Softie but with no experience in the field, and parachutes not exactly being the kind of object you can try on for size in the...

Hello, folks. I'm fishing to see if anyone else here's had the same problem I'm having. I've got a Pitts S-1D with a Christen wobble fuel pump. The action on it has gotten so stiff when priming that I fear it's close to locking up. It still primes fine and the fuel pressure's good when the...
