Pedal Pitts

(1997)  Lewis is finally building a Pitts.  Never mind that its wingspan is only four feet and that it must be pedaled by someone under age 7.  It’s a Pitts biplane none-the-less.  It will be presented to the children on Joey’s birthday.  Sometime after that, construction will begin in earnest on a real Pitts to be powered by a 450 horsepower, supercharged 95 cubic inch Pratt and Whitney engine.  Although it will be a five to seven year project, he is really excited.
