Pitts S1SExperimental Aircraft • Carthage, MO, USA

This Pitts S1S project is offered at $30,000 (price reduced) and located in Carthage, Missouri. It is powered by an experimental Lycoming IO-360-1021 rated at 210 HP, reportedly 535 hours since major overhaul by Corona Aircraft Engines. The engine is fitted with high compression pistons, a Christen inverted oil system, and a spin-off oil filter, and the seller describes it as running strong, smooth, starting easily, and being very reliable. A Catto three-blade composite propeller is installed, and the aircraft also has a smoke system, radio, encoding altimeter, and CHT/EGT instrumentation. All log books are present since new.
