Description
PRICE DROP - 1973 Pitts Special S-2A aerobatic training aircraft – factory built and certified
This Pitts S-2A has been used for what it does best — training, teaching, and pure flying enjoyment. For most of its life it operated in structured flying school and aerobatic training environments, making it a forgiving, confidence-building aircraft that handles extremely well.
It is a tight, well-sorted Pitts with predictable handling and excellent control harmony, ideal for tailwheel endorsements, aerobatic familiarisation, UPRT (Upset Prevention and Recovery Training), and instructor-led training
In recent years it has been privately owned, hangared, and flown primarily for aerobatic training and competition, where it has continued to prove itself as a capable, enjoyable, and confidence-inspiring aeroplane.
This aircraft is particularly well suited to a flying school or aerobatic instructor seeking a proven Pitts S-2A for training and teaching, or for pilots wanting to learn aerobatics properly in a classic Pitts.
