Skip Stewart Pitts Special "Prometheus"

[Eric Miller]

i am sure this is an odd request. I have been looking at some biplanes that i would absolutely LOVE to see in RC form. maybe you guys are aware of Skip Stewart. well, it would be really nice to see his bipe available in RC form, maybe from FMS in a 1100 or 1300mm size. that plane is so awesome looking and Skip makes it look REALLY good on top of the already awesome looks of the plane.

That would indeed be a nice biplane to have manufactured. However I would like to see a min of 50 " to 60 "wingspan. The FMS 1400 Pitts biplane is comparable but that paint scheme is marginal at best.

I believe Horizon Hobby has recently sponsored Skip Stewart. If I were to make a guess, I think that Horizon Hobby might make one available in RC. The Pitts that FMS already has is in no way appealing to me, in part because of the lack of color, the size and the price point is quite a bit more than I would ever be able to afford.. Which is why I suggested either a 1100mm or at the largest, a 1300mm size. It would be perfect for somewhat smaller areas and would appeal to more people due to price and of course the awesomeness of the planes looks.

I can't take credit for the photo. I didn't take it, I actually found it online in a google search. The crazy part is, the video I posted of the bipe I believe that it was at the same show as where the pic was taken... I didn't do either of them. However, if you're into crazy pilots, check out Skip Stewart. He is crazy. LOL.
