g'day everyone, i'm new to the forum, and i realise this question may have been asked before, but i'm wondering what the main differences are between a skybolt (with io540 engine) anda pitts s2a in terms of performance. i'm talking about climb rate, roll rate, vertical penetration etc. i have about 200hrs in pitts s2a's and a few in s1s's. the reason i ask is that i am considering buying a skybolt in the states and bringing it over here while the exchange rate is favourable. it seems thereare quite a few for sale at good prices with low hrs compared to the 2 hole pitts's that are out there.would i be dissapointed with the skybolt after having spent so long in the pitts?
