Pitts Special S-1D:
G-IIIP
G-PIII (formerly G-BETI)
The team’s aircraft are powered by Avco Lycoming IO-360 engines generating 180HP, powering a fixed pitch metal propeller. This gives them a top speed of 200mph, and with a max weight of only 522 kilograms. This power to weight ratio allows fantastic aerobatic performance and an astonishing climb performance of over 2500 feet per minute.
