FMS Pitts?

RE: FMS Pitts?

Thank you Sky Wolf,
The Badger Pitts was the pride of my fleet. But in a weak moment I traded it for a LX Super B25 (like New with 2 batteries). Which was on my wish list for two years, but not at $650.00, so I couldn't pass it up. But I sure did miss my Pitts. Fed Ex just delivered my new Pitts today. Not sure if I'm going to repeat the Badger scheme or try something new. I'll keep you all posted.

Nice video WJ. I have many of the same planes as you do. I was interested in your system of hanging them from the ceiling, as well as the PVC set up you used. I am setting up my own workshop and may use some of your ideas! Thanks again for the video! BTW-The Art Tech Pitts on floats-how does it fly off water? It looks really cool.

Thanks Loneflyer,
Check out my How to Hang Large RC Planes video (see attached link). The plane stand is 1-1/2" white PVC pipe tubing you can get at any hardware store. I used the 1-1/2" elbows, t's and caps. the foam is also available from the same place you would get the PVC pipe. You can do a simple X stand or be creative and  go crazy, like I did. I have 4 or 5  versions I use on different size planes.

The Art Tech Pitts was a challenge.  I had difficulty finding the correct CG with the floats. I never crashed it, but it was always a handful. My favorite float plane is the Flyzone Dehavilan Beaver. I will be doing a video soon on several flights with the Beaver. Subscribe to my You Tube channel and you will get notices when I post them.

Wow, I would call that a good trade, especially if the B-25 was like new and came with batts. You won on that deal. I'd love to have that B-25 too, but not at that price point. A flying buddy has it and did a few upgrades to add more thrust. Nice!

Wow! I thought I was plane nut? Just watched your hangar video and, Wow! Bipes and Quads galore!

I have about 60 planes, but only 2 quads. Having much success selling some of my fleet on RcGroups, with most being in near perfect condition. Time to make room in my hangar. Was looking for a different hanging system, then saw your vid. Nice! I'll have to figure out how to use your method, but with the planes hanging vertically from the vaulted ceiling. 

WJ, you rock brother! Good luck with the new Pitts. Can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve this time. I'll post mine when I get permission from my company to use the logos.
