Thanks for posting looked like alot of fun!

Those seem to be kinda cool. Super small. I see they even have a kit built jet!

I looked at an old video I have doing a few rolls in a newer super D. Looks to be about 90 degrees per second. My technique was not the greatest though either lol.

Ah gotcha. Learn something new every day. Ya a citabria I have flown a few times has wood spar. The owner expressed some regret that didnt go with metal when doing a rebuild sounded like, but sounds like so far it's not been an issue. Has the little ports on the wings for checking spars for...

Ya, I have heard that snap rolls can be problematic for example, can cause leaky fuel tanks etc. I think the Super D has an advertised roll rate of like 180°/sec if I remember. A bit optimistic maybe, dont have enough experience in one to know. Is there an appreciable difference in performance...

Hey! Glad a super D owner jumped in on this. I have limited time in the Super D but do like them (maybe some bias from time in citabria and champs along the way). Many things you pointed out have crossed my mind. I think my interest in aerobatics is beyond the theoretical. I have very limited...

Agreed, pay now or pay later. Sounds like a good turn key S1 will command a premium. Sounds like you'll have a couple sweet machines when it's all said and done! Not really knowledgeable on alot of the possible pitts modifications, just the basics really on gear and wings (S1C vs S1S etc). Good...

Lots of detail, thanks! I have noticed there is really a premium put on the nicer ones (understandably so). Seems like most the nicer S1 you see these days, from my limited looking are running well above what they did even just a few years ago. I get the impression this is the case with the...

Thanks for the response. That really gives me some perspective. I have looked at eagles as well, good looking and seem to have alot of performance. Still working on getting to where I'd need to be for an Eagle financially but should be there soon. Definitely a strong contender. Have considered...

Haha gotcha. Guess I didnt know what I was looking at. I'm sure will be alot of fun once they are ready to go. Why did you get an S and a C if you dont mine me asking?

Good points. I have heard people will often stick a pitts under a high wing and save $. I have not heard of anyone selling due to landing either lol. Guess I didnt think of it that way. Would definitely be interested in details one you get one of yours done. Looks like both are getting close!

1 seat would be fine with me. Still working on the budget. Will likely be a year or two before I'm in an optimal position to purchase.

Thanks for the response. Couple people have mentioned Budd now. Sounds like he is the pitts guru. Mainly looking for a dedicated acro plane. Dont do many Hamburger runs lol.

I've really only done the basics before, loops, rolls hammerheads etc. Would like to do more at some point though. Thanks, will checkout that forum as well

Good point, will check out EAA and IAC. Thanks

Ya they seem to be quite high, slim pickings as well. I'm about 1200 plus miles from Chicago if that's where you are unfortunately

First time poster here, did some searching didnt find the answers I am looking for, apologies in advance if i missed something or am in the wrong spot. So I am a low TT pilot and have about 40hrs tailwheel in Cubs, citabria, little bit of super D etc. Nothing that most would consider to be...
