   Calendar Event: Wolfpitts Pro flown by Sean D. Tucker
Posted: Jul/24/2010 at 06:42 |
|
The newest Wolfpitts Pro built by Tony Horvath, designed by Steve Wolf with some touches by the Oracle team will be flown by Sean D. Tucker at Oshkosh this year. Don't miss this event! This plane is capable of incredible new maneuvers never before performed by either mono or biplane. Sean has been working hard to master this great new design by Steve Wolf originally for Wyche T. Coleman III who asked Steve if he could create a plane that would outperform Sean D. Tucker's older highly modified S2S with Steve's highly modified 8 aileron wings. Steve arose to the challenge and built the incredibly beautiful Wolfpitts Pro, a totally new creation that looks like a Pitts, sort of, but is totally different. It is a totally custom Wolf origional design that performs better than most monoplanes. Wyche debued this incredible plane at the Nationals flying in the unlimited catagory and placing very high for a doctor in his residency with little time to fly and a new plane. Let us know what you think when you see Sean's performances at Oshkosh...wish we were there.

I watched the show today and the plane was fantastic - saw it up close and Tony did a beautiful job on it. EAA limits the performers to about 6 minutes or so each so it was an abbreviated version of his regular show, but spectacular none-the-less. No triple hammerhead today though!
Rob R. (announcer for Jason Newberg) also gave you a nice mention and spoke quite a bit during Jason's flight about the "special wing designed and built by Steve Wolf." He did a great job showcasing the roll and snap roll characteristics of your incredible wings.
Wolfpitts was well represented at the show - wish you guys were here!

Wish we could have made Oshkosh this year. It would have been fun to see Sean fly his new plane. It takes a lot of flights to learn the capabilities of a new design and to able to perform accurately and safely at low levels. I know this new design is capable of some amazing new maneuvers.
