Looks awsome!!!!!!!
Pitts S2C Biplane
Finally got somewhere on my latest. Here's the specs:
Pitts S2C
Span: 45
Length: 45
Weight: Shooting for 4.5 - 4.75lbs with a 46 and 5 standard servos
Fuse is balsa sheet foam. The fuse has a tunnel running fromt he 2 tail servos to a hole in the center of the lower wing, where the electronics go. It also has a tunnel running fromthe throttle servo to that same hole in the wing. The idea is no wires showing anywhere.
The ailerons are barn doors right now. I wanted to start big, and cut them down if needed. That's a heck of a lot easier than making them bigger if I wanted too.
Here's a few pics before I start final assembly.

Looks great! 
Do the wings use the same airfoil for the top and bottom (at different incidences) or different airfoils that have parellel incidences.

Just got back from the flying field. My 2 co-workers got called into lunch meetings, so they couldn't go, so no pics/video yet. I'm going to try to get out tonight with my flying buddy.
Winds are 15-20 variable plus gusts to 25+ here now. I hope it dies down tonight.
I balanced it conservatively at the leading edge of the lower wing. This gave me a very stable plane that flatspinned fantastically. It's the only plane I currently have that will flatspin as well as my Burrito. Harriers, hovering and knife edge were as good as I could do in the wind. I'll try to get pics/video in the next day or 2, working around the wind. I also want to play around with the CG more.
