- This is the second time firing up the monster 464HP Pitts Model 12. It’s been a LONG time coming to hear this beast run. Be sure to hit that like button and subscribe for future updates. Thanks for watching!
Nothing like round sound. Three eargasms with no cigarette breaks.
🤣🤙🏼
She's a beaut Clark. prop looks huge.
I used to drive past Curtis Pitts shop down in Homestead. One day and he was there. A couple of older men were there as well. I stopped in and They were working on the prototype Macho Stinker. I was given a brief tour of the shop and shown the plane. Pretty amazing to have been able to meet an aviation legend. Quite a neat plane!
That engine fired right off, very impressive! Looks awesome
Beautiful aircraft, Curtis Pitts was my neighbor growing up in South Florida. I’ve landed on his grass strip at his shop many times back in the 80’s.
I soloed at Richard’s Field. It seems like general aviation in south Florida died with Andrew.
I love it! The color, the radial, the sound.. what a great job you've done! Keep it up.
Beautiful plane you have there. Takes me back in time (1970s) when my Dad would fire up his AG-Cat after an engine swap.
Great to see another Model 12 being completed...workmanship looks excellent. Well done and congrats on the milestone.
Looking forward for the next episode!! Beautiful Bird
Ear and eye candy WOW! A work of art. That kind of power, she must climb to the moon. That engine is a masterpiece in of itself. I sure hope the cowl isn't that hard to get on and off lol.
Thanks! Cowling isn’t the most fun to put on and off. 😂
Oooooh that sound! Music to my ears!
Thats one beautiful plane. I could listen to that engine run all day!
Sounds amazing. Need to see that beast fly
Absolutely Stunning aircraft!!
Wow, what a beauty!
M14 just sounds super, beautiful plane 2 👌🏻
What a beast of an engine for such a little plane.
She’s not THAT little. 🤣 22ft wing span. Lot bigger than a Pitts S1 or S2.
I could listen to that all day
You tube is bieng unexpectadly kind to me recentley!!! AMAZING 10/10 video!!!!!
Wow! That is one “beautiful Airplane”! Nicely done! ✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️
Could use a good wash. It's soooo dirty. That is a seriously drop dead gorgeous Pitts.
Thanks for watching! 🤣 Believe it or not but she is pretty dirty from dust and pollen on it. Wait until she’s all cleaned up.
turned out great. I remember when Willow and I came down to visit your mom and you were still stripping down the wings. awesome job
That’s right. Thanks for watching brother. 🤣
What a beautiful plane! Sounds amazing
Wow. What a beast!
Beautiful bird!

Impressive machine, Impeccable craftsmanship, sounds amazing, congratulations .👍🏻

What a Wonderful Beast! That thing will have you laughing with happiness! Oh yes.. lol.
Very impressively Cool! I love it! Lol
Thanks for sharing.. :)
ABSOLUTELY. 😁🤙🏼 Thanks for watching!!
When you get this done I’d like to see video from the pilots perspective. That will be the closest I’ll ever get to flying in one myself. By the way, that’s one beautiful bird you’ve got there!
Super nice! Someone spent many hours on this! Can’t wait to see it fly! 👍
Yes sir I think we had over 800 plus just in the fabric and paint when it was at the shop. Not to mention all the hours of getting it this far. 🤣
😳Wow. I love radials.
wow what a gorgeous aircraft..wow
Gorgeous paint job!
Thank you! It turned out great. I got to paint wing fairings and cowling next. Then paint will pretty much be done. Hope to see it in the air in a month or so.
Paint looks amazing
I don’t know anything about radials, but it sure didn’t smoke when you started it.
It looks huge for that airframe. Beautiful plane, good job!
Beautiful sir !
I guess wheel landings won't be very practical, eh? 😏😂 Holy moly that is so incredible!
gorgeous
What an awesome plane.
Beautiful plane! 🤩
Nice Bird, congratulations!
Sounds Great ✝️🇺🇸😀😀😀😀😀
Beautiful as always. Cant wait to see it airborne
Thanks for watching! It’s definitely gonna be a BEAST. 😁
You do not love a plane like that for the likes.... but DAMN what a sweet aircraft is that.
Beautiful…
Pretty sweet ❤
Do host wos gscheits gmacht..respekt oida. Bravo ❤
Nice!
Thanks! Test flight is tomorrow. Will have video coming SOON. 😁🤙🏼
👍🏻…it sure sounds like it has 464 HP …It’s got some chop to it 😂😂😂
Please don’t assume you’ve got a reliable 464 HP engine. I own a radial rocket with a PF that’s stock 400 hp, as well as a buddy (same airplane) with a PF of 450 hp (with all the mods) . His cylinders are pulling studs. Mine aren’t .
What do you care. You sound like a child posting something like this. Grow up
All 4 were beautiful at Sun & Fun last year. Didn't see you at the BPE booth this year?
@@mlrtym2 No , my schedule wouldn’t allow it . Hopefully next year.
How do you get the M14 to produce 464hp? What is the empty weight?
Whoa looks better than a brand new haircut. :o)
Sounds awesome. Would love to hear it fly over me./ Really like the AMERICAN FLAG!!🇺🇸
The Beast !!
OMG She is beautiful
niceee :))),,, it spins the wrong way thou lol
👍
Curious how you got 464 HP out of an M14P that stock ran 360 HP? Beautiful aircraft.
High compression pistons; improved rings; higher supercharger boost; tighter internal tolerances, and HP can also be increased with electronic ignition, fuel injection, ect
SCARY airplane!!!
Barrett pistons? Lower Intake scavenge pump? I saw absolutely no smoke on start up.
Like 1/2 of a Beech 18 on steroids.......
🤣😂🤙🏼
Hope it flys as good as it looks!
Wow!!!!!!👍👍👍👍
I found you missing vice grips.
Check in front of top cylinder.
Preflight complete.
🤣😂🤣 They are temporary of course. Didn’t have the prop cable hooked up yet.
Beautiful! It will be interesting to hear about its flying characteristics compared to its baby brother the S1-S. Do you think it will need spades on the ailerons or a trim tab on the rudder?
Should be fine without spades, it has the boosted type ailerons. It will have a fixed rudder trim tab.
....so...about 1550 pounds with 464hp ??? YEEEEEEEEEEEEHA!!!
Is there something wrong with engine? For a radial didn't smoke out the field on start, gotta be something wrong lol
Beautiful bird! kinda jealous...:-)
😂🤙🏼
Stunning airplane, where is it based?
Georgia
@@ColeAviation Was hoping it would be near me to see it fly.
Im much older now, I still feel a bite of regret that I spent thousands and thousands, and thousands, on motorbikes thinking they were cheaper than aviation. EDIT: Obviously not to buy, but to fly.
How much prop clearance in a 2 point flying position?
Not much. Just a few inches. You can’t do a wheel landing in it. It HAS to be a three point every time. Very costly if prop hits. 😬
What is the white tank behind the firewall?
Main fuel tank.
That front cockpit ain’t got much, what is with the screen ?
Don’t need much in the front. It’s got the same screen as the back with everything you need to know if someone is up front flying it.
Don't need anything up front, it's flown from the rear seat. The front screen is a back up screen showing map, engine info, and flight instruments.
What does it weigh?
wow..looks like cgi. Going to have to take me for a ride to prove this is real :)
A perfect example of Russian engineering, no rocket science, but robust.
Mags? Carb? Who dynoed it?
The engine shop that built the engine. Came out to 464HP with 2,000 pounds of thrust. Plane will be around the 1,600 pound mark when done.
@@ColeAviation What shop? High compression pistons? Mags with carb and high compression pistons should be running 385ish HP. PF conversion?
@@mlrtym2 This engine was rebuilt/ overhauled by Richard Goode Aerobatics and Aerometal. It is a PF with high compression pistons. They completely rebuild these engines with tighter tolerances to better than new specs. They guarantee 425 HP on the PF versions and consistently make over 430HP.
@@davidhiza5591 airplane is beautiful.
Looks like one of those people that are having a hard time in today's economy.
Bidenomics
@@davidhiza5591🤣😂🤣🤙🏼
Could I possibly trade you a dog or two and maybe one of my children for that aircraft?
🤣
Ten seconds in, and I see a funeral waiting to happen.
🤔Explain??
Darwin will explain it to you later on..
@@jonesbugattis🤣 yeah. OK
@@ColeAviation Thump!, there it was...
@@jonesbugattisonly if you knew what you were talking about. But thanks for watching.
