TomParsons Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 4. "RE: Pitts Types" 07-11-02, 15:50z  Patty- Thanks for the advice. Things are getting serious now. I'm presently arranging for a prepurchase on an airplane that hits a sweet spot in among everybody's recommendations. It's an experimental S-1S, with a souped-up HIO-360 (230HP) and constant-speed prop installed. It has the longer fuselage and big rudder. Sounds to me like a T, but for a price between an S and a T! The airplane was built in 1972, and restored in 1992. I can't find the original builder, but I have contacted the current owner (duh!) and the person who did the restoration in '92. I have asked the usual battery of questions about damage history (one nose-over in 1986, BTW), ADs, avionics, airframe/engine times, compression, etc. But if anybody knows of any secret, obscure, telling questions I should be asking, feel free to spill!
