Awesome job, congratulations! Engine sounds awesome, great choice of radio and accessories throughout. The S1 is my favorite airplane of all. The only thing I would add is a big 3-blade prop! Once incidences are correct a big Pitts usually maidens without major challenge. Lovely work.

awesome plane very nice I built a 40 size ultimate a few years back an that feeling you get first time up an until your wheels are back on the ground is hard to replicate with anything else is exactly why I need to do another anyways thanks for sharing

Just freaking AWESOME! Great color scheme. Looks great in the air. God was watching over you when that engine re-started, I've seen a turbine do it but never a piston. Congrats.

Incredible build man! You really went all out on this beautiful bird and it shows! Well done sir👏 the adrenaline when the motor cut out had to be extra special lol

Oh so was I

So happy the Maiden went well. Didn’t realise it’s been two and half years. For a moment I thought it was going to be a dead stick landing, at least the clunk didn’t sick after the roll. She looks fantastic and look forward to more videos of this bird. 🫡

Thanks. Not sure what else it could even be. We will see. Sucks there is only one way to test it

In my opinion the bigger Pitts models are the nicest looking planes in the sky..... and that color scheme is friggin awesome........ congrats on the maiden and at the 2.19min mark I bet you lost a rapid amount of weight when it appeared to dead stick so thankful it didnt.... greetings from down under and fly safe and take care of that girl.

I hope you get that roll cough sorted....... I have a great planes pitts with a 54cc motor in it and lets just say it was in need of a new plane behind the propeller when I got it.... I stripped it and fully rebuilt it and shes almost ready to go again but here down under any craft over 7kgs needs certification so I am waiting for nice weather to get her going... here is a vid of the wreck to richers in case you want to see my machine.... apologies for the intro... kzread.info/dash/bejne/fqh41Lakdse6h7g.html

The only time an engine out should worry you is when you are inverted 20' over the trees and 200 yards away. Part of your basic training, if you had any, is to practice dead stick landings. I would suggest you ditch your EDF which aren't jets and learn to fly using a trainer to become a reasonably proficient pilot. Electric is a good place to start as you can always apply power if your not on track for a safe dead stick landing.

Considering the Pitts is one of two of my very favorite bipes you crushed this. Challenges are part of modeling and you showed us what a box of sticks can become. There aren't many of us left that still do it. Congrats on your maiden, looking forward to so much more from this. P.S. it's always nice to see the hills of home in your videos, I hope to get back again some day. Keep it coming my friend!

Beautiful bird! You do an amazing job on these planes! Your experience with these kits, knowing what works and what doesn’t is priceless. It’s amazing how much is included in these kits that is crap and most of us don’t know any better. Ie your tail wheel. Thanks for sharing bro!

It’s not normally an issue. The engine on this for some reason drowned out the sound.

Nice maiden! I was waiting to see your deadstick landing when the engine cut out. Amazing that it recovered as well as it did. Now you can breathe a little ... until the next flight!

Your OCD is getting the best of you. Again, there is hundreds of hours of footage to go through. I wanna share what I can. Many big builds are done this way. Some people could also care less how it’s built. Some people only want to see a maiden vid. There are a lot of people out in the world that also have their own opinions and thoughts. It’s ok if they don’t line up with yours. Your both entitled to your own opinions as you wish
