Hi all,
I just signed on after lurking for a while. I have decided to buy a Pitts as my next toy and have started with the research. I already learned that I have to do much more research
I am a low time pilot with a total of 350 hours, and the last year I only flew helicopters. (92 hours) as far as tailwheel goes I have a whooping 2.6 hours
Anyway, looking to sign up for training and I plan on taking a class before I buy the Pitts. I plan on signing up for one of the ten hour aerobatics classes for start. (Plus ofcourse train with an instructor so I can land the thing)
I am going to buy a little less expensive since I am not sure if this is my next passion.
I am looking at a 1978 S-2A for under $70K. Is this a bad start, do I need to get something never? (more $$)
Checking on insurance and finance options tomorrow. (Worst case I pay cash, but money is cheap at the moment so finance with low interest might make sense)
