dominicm Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Gregg Hayfield was back at Wings and Wheels Model Spectacular with his Monster Pitts Python. It is 85% size of the real Pitts Python and looks awesome in its new scheme. Weighing in at 138 Kg, just under the maximum limit as defined by the CAA of 150Kg. The Pitts is scratch built, that means plans, design, construction and materials are all created by the builder to emulate the full size aircraft and it took Greg 5 years to complete this 7/8th scale biplane. The engine is manufactured by Hirth and is usually mounted in man carrying micro light aircraft. 650 cc flat twin with a 63 inch 3 blade propellor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Koreelah Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Why not make it just a bit bigger? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akromaster Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 It looks bigger than a Cri-cri and just as big as a sd-minisport, Corby starlet or Hummel bird! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominicm Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 Any bigger and it would probably be over the 150KG limit for large models in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClintonB Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I have the timber and plans to start a ragwing special that size with the option of 2 seater in a stretch version. It is quite a feat to have a model one that size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
