    I would have absolutely thought those wings were 100% carbon fiber and honeycomb with what you put them through.... What an amazing video to see it's fabric and wood.... Crazy how strong that has to be with what you are putting it through... Thanks for sharing

    Very cool video Skip. You fly the crap out of the airplane, its cool to see you do your own work also! thanks for showing a window into the "behind the scenes" of the SS Airshows world.

    You Sir are incredabile and such an inspiration! I've never seen flying like it! I'm a huge fan. We don't have skills like yours in Ireland. Other worldly to be honest and I'm so happy that you are doing more content. Thankyou! 👌❤

    Wow. That failure could have ended bad. Glad you were able to repair it!

    It’s really cool how you work on your own plane. That seems to be the difference between Pitts pilots and the guys who fly composite monoplanes. Seems like you fly a plane like this as much for the love of building and customizing as the love of flying it. My dream is to build and own a custom Pitts someday.

    Excellent video, thanks so much for making it. It’s really interesting to see how this hard working airframe is maintained, and the differences from what one would be doing with a stock Pitts.

    I’m planning on building a RC model of the Prometheus. It will be a 2m span, 5-7kg model.

    Skip whatever happened to the P3 Revolution biplane you were working on? I remember Horizon Hobby and Hangar 9 came out with an RC version of it. An ultra micro version and a 70cc version. The full scale was showcased in Model Aviation magazine. But that’s the last I’ve heard of it.

      From what I recall the designer and manufacture got flaky. Watching this video, you can see P3 in the background I believe! If I'll bet that if it able to be done, Skip will do it. This guy is a machine!
