Meet Pitts Special
Curtis Pitts's design first flew in 1944 and became closely associated with competition aerobatics. The short fuselage and tightly stacked wings make the Pitts immediately recognisable. Successive versions developed the basic idea with different engines, seating and airframe details.
The S-1 and S-2 are useful distinctions for a simmer: the single-seat aircraft and larger two-seat versions are not interchangeable models. Their cockpit views, proportions and equipment differ, even though both belong to the same aerobatic family.
