Hello all, I'm looking to buy my first airplane. I want somthing aerobatic, and have been considering a Pitts S1. Recently, an Acrosport 2 a few hangars down went up for sale. It's a beautiful airplane. 200 HP, 1013 lb empty. I know the performance won't be anywhere near that of a pitts, but how much worse will it be? I like the idea of the 2nd seat, but I want the performance of the pitts. Does anyone have numbers for anything like Roll rate or vertical penetration?


I've flown aerobatics in mainly in the Pitts S2B & C and decathlon, and a few other random airplanes. How does flying an Acrosport compare to any of those airplanes?


Thanks.
