Pitts is Happiness

Flying my 1968 Pitts S1S. Filmed on the GoPro Session.

[@drewdetsch5268]

Nice video, i've had my S-1S for 38 years and it continues to delight and challenge me

[@LawrenceCaldwellAuthor]

Does it need a lot of upkeep?

[@pittss2c601]

There is nothing like a Pitts Special. It will teach you how to fly an airplane. Spend 300+ hours in a Pitts S1S an you will become a great pilot. No other aircraft will do that for you. I flew all types of ultralights, gyrocopters, experimental taildragger airplanes and then I bought my S1S. It's like I started all over again. One of life's greatest experiences.

I've recently developed an interest in flying and absolutely love the Pitts Special

[@devinalbrecht5176]

hope that the move to OK went well! I just want to say that we would look damn good in formation between the Pitts and the RV

[@Aero360Aviation]

Love it! Looking awesome. Wish I was up there doing that right now!

[@choppergirl]

I think I want something more like an Udet Flamingo

[@darkbubblepenguin9865]

That’s a beautiful biplane

I helped dad build his Pitts in the mid 70s. He loved the build, but didn't love the way it flew. He literally only flew it about a dozen times before selling it. He flew to Kerville, TX. to the Southwest Regional EAA Fly-In in 1977, took first place biplane, got an offer there and sold it. He was used to the Howard 500, other large heavy taildraggers, and Cessna singles.

[@Mike-01234]

Was it difficult for him to land it compared to his other aircraft ground looping after that many hours of building would not be fun.

[@pittss2c601]

It scared him. That is typical for many builders of Pitts Specials. Large taildraggers are easy to fly. There's even a significant difference between an S1 Pitts versus an S2 Pitts. S2's are much easier to fly.

[@Laodell]

Do you have a version without the music and only the sound of the plane?

[@ericgoujon]

yes...

[@jerryfrank3972]

Jim Lacey, Pitts sometimes seen in older IAC mags.

[@maxxmccrae6383]

Are you still looking to sell? Because Im looking for a s1 in about a years time.

[@davispitts]

Where are you based? KSDL? cause if you are i’ve seen you buzzing around a bit!!!

[@MrFrontenginedragste]

Nice stick work from someone so young.

[@glissairin1872]

[@tropicjam7343]

[@marindelgado5638]

[@MrDo0bie]

I have made a Pitts model S1 from FimoClay. 15 by 20cm or some... 500 euro. It can be yours. =]

[@thewatcher5271]

So Many, Would Be Good Aviation Videos Ruined By Crappy Music . . .

[@Phosnard]

What the hell do we need this crappy music instead of sound of the engine
