Pitts S1 pilot weight

[kbeanlan]

Having built a Christavia MK1 and being about half way through a Wittman Buttercup, I'm looking forward to the next plane. The next plane will be an aerobatic mount of some sort. I've been intersted in the Pitts for a long time, but I'm concerned that my 6' 240 lb but is too big and heavy for even a light weight Pitts. I do have plans for the Skybolt and may consider that instead, but it's a lot more plane than I had planned on.

What is the maximum practical pilot weight for a Pitts?
