Pitts Construction

[MattSR]

Hi Guys,

I'm a keen Pitts pilot and aviator and am interested in how these aircraft are constructed. I have built some model aircraft when I was younger, and I'm very interested to know how full size tube and fabric airplanes are put together. There seems to be lots of info on how riveted aluminium is used (from the RV boys) but very little info on Pitts construction.

Is this something a normal person can undertake with no fabrication experience? Or is it something that should be left to the proferssionals..

Thanks,
Matt
