Pitts S-2A S/N: 2131 Is Alive!

[Tomcat]

After just under 1 year, and around 1500 man hours I’ve completed the ground up restoration of N88M and achieved first flight. My customer brought me the airplane in a trailer and several boxes of parts after sitting in a barn for 12 years collecting dust. There was some significant airframe repairs required from just sitting, and from it’s past life, but I’m glad to report that the airplane is back and better than ever. First flight went great, only have one minor rigging adjustment to make, and need to adjust squelch on the new comm radio I installed. I covered it with Ceconite in accordance with the Air-Tech process. I’m looking forward to delivering it to it’s new owner so he can enjoy many more years of pleasure out of it.
