Has anyone thought about replacing original Acrosport wings with a set from a Pitts? Just wondering...The Acrosport 1 is slightly larger than a Pitts S1, so may handle better on the landing and on the ground than a Pitts, also has wider undercarriage track, and may fit a larger pilot better, but performance in the air maybe as snappy as a Pitts with wings replaced. (also the swept upper wing looks cool) I know the cabane would have to be replaced...anybody done it??? Any comments????
