George Whenham's Pitts Special S2A

1/3 scale Pitts Special S2A by George Whenham.

Wing span 80”

This model was built from an Australian plan published by the Airborne Magazine (Plan No 593).

Powered is provided by a 44cc Tartan Twin glow engine.  I bought this engine for my late father to use in his Pitts Special (his favourite aeroplane) but he never got round to using it. So although obsolete it’s brand new.
