First of all this is a great site, I love FMS! I started flying in October of last year and am currently flying a Hobbico Avistar. My goal is to be able to fly the airplane that grabbed my attention and made me want to fly, that is the Curtiss Pitts. What I don't want to do is buy this plane and not have the skills to fly it. Is it too much of a jump to go from a Avistar (high wing intermediate trainer) to the Pitts? If so, what would be a good next plane to help me prepare for a bi-plane? I'm thinking of buying my next plane sometime this summer.
How realistic is the Pitts in FMS?
