I've read all of the existing threads I can find on the forum that compare the Pitts S1S with the one design.
I couldn't find much comparing the Pitts to the Laser 200. Has anyone here flown both and have any thoughts on pros and cons?
I've liked the look of the laser since the 1980's but I'm aware of some of the issues with the wing and ailerons.
Current reference point is 200 HP Skybolt with C/S prop. I am looking for a lighter feel and a little better power to weight ratio.
I tried hard to find a nice S1 a few years back but couldn't find one that didn't have a significant damage history, sketchy records, 30+ year old engine/fabric or just needed work in my price range.
A nice 180 hp S1S is pretty close to the one designs/lasers in price (~$40k+). If the price is more or less a wash which is the most fun to fly and lowest maintenance of the three?
