Quote: "Hi Steve and Mary, I have another contribution here, this time the plans for the Pitts Special as kitted by Midwest. You already published the Jerry Nelson Pitts S-1S (oz5125) plans and these Midwest Pitts Special plans apparently originated from his hands as well. The plans contain numerous building tips and are a wealth of information. I also add some photographs from the kit in my collection and from a finished one built by my uncle Jacques Lebeau in the seventies [main pic]. Best regards, Philip Avonds"

ScaleType: This (oz15757) is a scale plan. Where possible we link scale plans to Wikipedia, using a text string called ScaleType.
If we got this right, you now have a couple of direct links (above) to 1. see the Wikipedia page, and 2. search Oz for more plans of this type. If we didn't, then see below.
Notes:
ScaleType is formed from the last part of the Wikipedia page address, which here is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitts_Special
Wikipedia page addresses may well change over time.
For more obscure types, there currently will be no Wiki page found. We tag these cases as ScaleType = NotFound. These will change over time.
Corrections? Use the correction form to tell us the new/better ScaleType link we should be using. Thanks.
Do you have a photo you'd like to submit for this page? Then email admin@outerzone.co.uk

Hi Mary, Back in 1975 I built Nelson's Pitts Special [pics 006, 007] redrawing the plan directly from magazine. Ciao,Beppe Ghisleri - 02/01/2025

Notes
* Credit field
The Credit field in the Outerzone database is designed to recognise and credit the hard work done in scanning and digitally cleaning these vintage and old timer model aircraft plans to get them into a usable format. Currently, it is also used to credit people simply for uploading the plan to a forum on the internet. Which is not quite the same thing. This will change soon. Probably.
Scaling
This model plan (like all plans on Outerzone) is supposedly scaled correctly and supposedly will print out nicely at the right size. But that doesn't always happen. If you are about to start building a model plane using this free plan, you are strongly advised to check the scaling very, very carefully before cutting any balsa wood.
