TomParsons Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: "Pitts Types" 06-21-02, 19:04z  As I idly browse through the "airplane for sale" ads, I'm getting (more) confused about the differences among the different single-hole Pitts types. Based on what I read on the ACRO Web site, I thought the big difference between the S-1S and S-1T was that the S has a fixed-pitch prop, while the T had a constant-speed prop. But as I look around, I see lots of S's with constant-speed props. So, what's the difference really? Also, feel free to register any opinions you may have about which S-1 type a person should (hypothetically) buy, including pluses and minuses of factory vs. experimental. Assume that the hypothetical person was not a mechanic- just a pilot looking to get into aerobatic competition. Tom P. Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
