Only the first line is questionably from another source: "From 1944 to now, the Curtiss Pitts-designed Pitts Special has racked-up more aerobatic victories than any other type of aircraft." (I suspect that they may likely have borrowed this phrase from someplace else...) The rest of the article was written and/or corrected and expounded upon by myself, and is thus original material. As I'm the webmaster for the Steen Aero Lab website, I can assure you that Wiki has permission to post all of the rest of the material (at least as of 2005-04-27.)

Uploaded image to right if it is any use to anyone - haven't added to the page as there seemed to be a surplus of photos already. Passing note- the Yak 50 link does not go where I think teh author expected it to. Winstonwolfe 23:06, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

I've had a go at tidying this article up a bit, added an infobox etc. The specifications are available from the Aviat website if someone has the time to put them in, cheers. Nimbus227 19:04, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
