Default Help with Pitts Special needed

I have aquired a Pitts Special, and have no clue of who the manufacturer is. I hope somebody can help as i need some information and maybe some parts. The Plane has a wing span of 68 inches on the top wing, and appears to be all foam covered with fabric. When I say all foam I mean both wings and the fusalage are foam.

I hope this is not a really hard question, but I really don't have a clue I have zero experiance with this type of plane. I can take some pics later in the week and post them if needed. I wondered if it might be a Byron but thought the Byron was smaller than this one.

Thanks for any help given,

Jim

Sounds like you have the old Byron 1/3rd scale Pitts. I had one of the Cap 10's way back when and it too was all foam. Try this post:

The discussion on the thread sounds alot like what I have here. I knew as soon as I saw the plane I did not like the setup, and planed on moving the servos out in the lower wing. I really appreciated your help thank you.
