Sunday, I finally flew my Pitts S1S. A decade of work to get here and it was incredible. Sheer excitement and terror and joy all in one. Haha. Yesterday I flew it again. It's such an incredible airplane and I want to thank everyone here for advice and tips along the way. It needed a small rudder trim tab which helped quite a bit but it still has a little aileron grab to the right that I'll have to fix. I'm thinking slave strut adjustment should fix that. It's going to be a wild 40 hours of flight testing, but I'm super excited.
