Pitts Special S2A

– factory built and certified.

Im selling due to wanting to move to intermediate and advance so unfortunate

ly Zues has to go.

Its tight, great handling and excellent control, I,ve had a lot of fun in it, goes pretty well, in cruise ,with aprox 38LPH ,mix 75% ,RPM 2400 and Man 23, cruises around 135kts the new 3 Blade propeller helps, also quieter and sounds awesome.

Great thing you can make a day of it, take family, children, friends, business assoc, in the plane with you, share some great experience and when you want to get serious, close the passenger seat area, remove the front shield takes about 5 min and your ready for solo, pedal to the medal.

It looks great, feels good, In recent years last 8 yrs it has been privately owned, always hangared and flown primarily for aerobatic practice and fun, where it has continued to prove itself as a capable, enjoyable, and confidence-inspiring Pitts.

Its a fun plane, you will love it, feel the freedom of movement, get trained by taking advanced or unlimited pilot with you, he can show you how to handle that figure in your own plane, you will nail the figure correctly, myself i used Zues for fun away from the husle and bussle, stress releif HaHa, last 8 yrs there was no training in it, just pure fun and enjoyment.
