So I have a newbie question transitioning into biplanes especially the Pitts. In light of the recent Acroduster accident I wanted to throw out a general question on the best way to transition into these “squirrelly “ little planes. I have several thousand hours in singles and multies, about 250 TW, and have always wanted a Pitts. After 4 hours in a friends Skybolt I was indeed humbled and the reality of some serious transition training became painfully clear. Looking at the going rate for 10 hrs with the Gurus, Bud etc... I feel that more time and experience may still be warranted. Someone on this forum mentioned getting a hundred hours of takeoffs and landings in a Luscombe or something similar before spending the money on Pitts transition training.
I figured this is the place for expert biplane advice.
Thanks all!
