摘要

The Pitts Special, like its free-thinking, self-educated designer, Curtis Pitts, is an American original. The iconic biplane epitomizes the independent, resourceful, and outlandish nature of its creator-and its uncompromising, exhilarating, and totally impractical design exudes raw energy and attitude. "As a child attending my first-ever airshow, a Pitts Special imprinted itself in my malleable mind, and I've regarded the stubby Pitts as the definitive aerobat ever since," says Senior Editor Dave Hlrscltman, who has owned a variety of single-seat models beginning in the early 1990s ("Budget Buy: Affordable Aerobat," page 50). Now that they are no longer competitive in top-tier aerobatic contests, however, the demanding little airplanes are being adopted by pilots who prize their stellar performance, hyper-responsive handling-and affordability. "I can't think of another airplane that provides as much challenge or excitement for the price," Hirschman says. "These airplanes have earned a unique place in U.S. aviation history-and they're an absolute rush to fly."
