    Video-I Bought a Pitts S1S and Flew it Across the Country!

    Sorry I'm trying to understand, but I'm not exactly sure what you mean here :D I'll say this... Everything in the video actually happened, but not everything that happened is in the video. Things like planning, prep, and safety are boring on camera, so most of that was left out ;)

    Video-I Bought a Pitts S1S and Flew it Across the Country!

    Honestly I felt completely fine. In the video everything can seem rushed and possibly come across that way, but in reality I was trying to be as safe as I could possibly be. Too much safety/planning is boring and very draggy on camera, so I didn't include most of it ;). But if I ever didn't feel...

    Thank you, and yes they did. I realized that this is something I never really went over in the video, but right around day 2 everything seemed to kind of 'click', and I felt like I could land a Pitts again:) I'm not really sure what I did right/wrong, I think I just finally got used to the airplane.

    Video-I Bought a Pitts S1S and Flew it Across the Country!

    Thanks for the questions! It’s a great way for me to reflect on the flight, and find out what I don't know. - Well actually I wasn't very clear in the video. I had a few snacks stowed away in the turtle deck, but I honestly didn't ever get 'hungry enough' to eat them. Perhaps it was the...

    Thanks a bunch! I don't know how many people would appreciate an "autobiography" lol but here’s a quick recap... My family used to live by an airport, and every year that airport would host a big airshow. Seeing the airplanes fly and do awesome maneuvers was literally the coolest thing that...

    Thank you! Yes I really wanted to include him in the video, but he wasn't too excited about being put up online:) Also whenever we were together on the trip, I wouldn't be filming. We were usually figuring out a place to eat, sleep...etc. So unfortunately I didn't have any footage of him even if...

    :) Believe it or not, this has been my lifetime goal. I dropped out of college, started working full-time, and live with my parents all in order to save up money. But now that I finally have this airplane, I also can barely afford to buy groceries :D

    Video-I Bought a Pitts S1S and Flew it Across the Country!

    Hi Guys, I've already posted this on several other forums, but I just wanted to share it with anyone who hasn't seen it and might be interested. This is a 'coast to coast' flight I completed over the summer in my Pitts S1S. Apart from comfort, autopilot, and a transponder, this airplane also...
