The Pitts Special is a light aerobatic biplane designed by Curtis 

Pitts. It has accumulated many competitions wins since its first 

flight in 1944. The Pitts biplanes dominated world aerobatic 

competition in the 1960s and 1970s and, even today, remain a 

potent competition aircraft in the lower categories.
Built upon the successful V1 Pitts biplane, FMS is proud to 

announce the brand-new Pitts V2. Redesigned with a massive 

1400mm wingspan, the Pitts V2 is constructed of lightweight 

and robust EPO foam material. Proprietary connector plugs 

built into the wing structure means that the wings can be 

attached to and detached from the fuselage using just a few 

screws. The slide-fit wing struts are just as simple, slide them 

on in just a few seconds and the wing is securely braced!
An oversized battery bay accommodates most 6S packs with 

ease- giving the pilot ample power to attempt all aerobatic 

maneuvers. Hobbywing 50A ESC provides bulletproof perfor-

mance!
 
While ensuring that the Pitts Special is faithfully recreated, 

FMS has worked hard to minimize its profit margins in the 

hopes that pilots who love the Pitts V2 will find it affordable.
 
With graceful lines from a bygone era, robust airframe and a 

state-of-the-art power system, the Pitts V2 is a model you 

shouldn’t miss!

Features:

Power: 4258 brushless motor, 50A Hobbywing-sourced 

ESC, 17g servos

.

Realistic trim scheme, rivets, panel lines and pilot figure

.

Screw-together assembly greatly reduces assembly time.
Oversized battery compartment for larger, more powerful 

6S packs.
Robust and durable EPO construction.
