Introduction
The Pitts Special is a light aerobatic biplane designed by Curtis
Pitts. It has accumulated many competitions wins since its first
flight in 1944. The Pitts biplanes dominated world aerobatic
competition in the 1960s and 1970s and, even today, remain a
potent competition aircraft in the lower categories.
Built upon the successful V1 Pitts biplane, FMS is proud to
announce the brand-new Pitts V2. Redesigned with a massive
1400mm wingspan, the Pitts V2 is constructed of lightweight
and robust EPO foam material. Proprietary connector plugs
built into the wing structure means that the wings can be
attached to and detached from the fuselage using just a few
screws. The slide-fit wing struts are just as simple, slide them
on in just a few seconds and the wing is securely braced!
An oversized battery bay accommodates most 6S packs with
ease- giving the pilot ample power to attempt all aerobatic
maneuvers. Hobbywing 50A ESC provides bulletproof perfor-
mance!
While ensuring that the Pitts Special is faithfully recreated,
FMS has worked hard to minimize its profit margins in the
hopes that pilots who love the Pitts V2 will find it affordable.
With graceful lines from a bygone era, robust airframe and a
state-of-the-art power system, the Pitts V2 is a model you
shouldn't miss!
