S1-11 Super Stinker Builders'/Owners' Thread

[barchiola]

Hi folks,

Since there isn't a specific sub-forum for the type I thought it might be helpful to start a thread that can serve as a dedicated repository for info/lessons being learned along the way.

I'm just starting my project and will post a thread when there's something to show but there are questions that come up from time to time and maybe by having everyone subscribed to one thread we can generate answers more quickly. To begin with, a comprehensive list of plans errors and oversights would be great to have. Performance numbers, maintenance details/recommendations, modifications and improvements that have been made would also be good to assemble in one place.

Aviat blurb from https://aviataircraft.com/aviat-aircraft-pitts/

Pitts S1-11B The concept is simple: Curtis Pitts designed the airplane he thought was necessary for World Aerobatic Contest level flying into the next millennium. What makes the S-1-11B/Super Stinker different from his earlier world-beating designs? 300 horses and 35 years more experience is what makes the difference.
After Aviat Aircraft, Inc. purchased the design, our engineers straightened out a few cosmetic lines to make the airplane easier to judge in competition and reengineered the structure for strength and pilot comfort.
We offer both plans and components (not a kit, just components) for this model. We can also complete the aircraft on a custom basis.
