Introduction

Designed by revolutionary aerobatic plane designer Curtis Pitts, the Pitts S-2B was one of the many variations of the S1 and S2 aerobatic biplanes. During the 1960s and 1970s, the Pitts biplanes were a major force during world aerobatic competitions. Still flying around the world, the Pitts S-2B is an air show mainstay and crowd-favorite. The Hangar 9® Pitts S-2B 50-60cc ARF brings this aerobatic showstopper to life in a classic-scale scale platform with true scale proportions.

Overview

For the sport, scale, and aerobatic pilot, the new officially-licensed Hangar 9® giant-scale Pitts 50-60cc delivers on a classic-scale aerobatic platform with true scale proportions, ease of assembly and impressive flight performance. Featuring scale details typically not found on other ARF aircraft, the incredible recreation has outstanding flying characteristics that Hangar 9 is known for around the world. Constructed with lightweight balsa and plywood for a rigid and strong airframe, it features multiple quick release hatches allowing for easy access to fuel equipment and electronics. The biplane exhibits an iconic scale scheme by airshow pilot Rich Goodwin, quad aileron servos for precise control and aerobatic agility, and so much more. It will perform extreme aerobatics just like its full-scale inspiration using your choice of gas or brushless electric power options. It comes out of the box with a level of scale fidelity that truly sets it apart from the rest.
