PITTS
S-2C Until you've flown
the new Pitts S-2C, there's no way to fully comprehend
the way we have harnessed the power, expanded the performance
envelope, locked in a new level of precision and taken
the lead in aerobatic flying technology.
This
new breed of Pitts Specials, our only production model,
more than meets the demands of today's aerobatics.
We have brought trumpets into the aerobatic box, heralding
a new athleticism, a sinuous grace, a vibrant form
of aerobatic energy. For contests, airshows, training,
or pure excitement the Pitts S-2C sizzles and dazzles.
Vertical
lines are where the S-2C beats them all. You have
never seen the kind of hang time that's possible in
an S-2C. After improving the wing tip shape, flattening
the belly, improving the engine cowling and redesigning
the windshield, this model cruises 15 mph faster than
the earlier model. Precision point rolls are possible
at any speed thanks to the new wings and world class
stick centering. The new aerodynamic vertical and
horizontal tails make maneuvering in any direction
a snap.
