Thanks Ed.

I guess you and Charlie have talked me out of it.
Time probably better spent on engine installation in an RV which is what I really want.

So I'll have to suffer planelessness for some more time.

Finn,

One thing I can tell you.  IF you have to make an engine out landing in a Pitts, you are in for a problematic experience.  Very high rate of sink without power.  Not saying it can not be done, but, I would certainly think twice about that type of installation.

Just my 0.02 worth - free of charge {:>)

Subject: [FlyRotary] Rotary on a Pitts S-1?

I have the opportunity to buy a Pitts S-1 that is complete except firewall forward.

Any thoughts on putting a 13-B NA in such an animal?

Anybody flown it? How does it compare to an RV?
