Officially endorsed by Jim Kimball Enterprises, Inc. and based on the Somenized™ Python 200 introduced to the R/C community at Joe Nall 2006 by Quique Somenzini and Bob Trueworthy, the Somenized™ Python 100 is a most amazing airplane. Very lightweight, generous wing area, abundant side area, thin wings, no flying wires for wings and rounds cowl make this biplane to fly like a monoplane but with the looks of a biplane. Minimum coupling makes this airplane easily to control with precision and smoothness. 3D and precision aerobatic performance enevelopes are unlimited. Quique is very excited to share with you what he believes is one of the most exhilarating aircraft ever. Quique feels the Python helps him to best show his aerobatic routines and knows you'll find it just as forgiving and capable. The Somenized™ Python 100 is truly the next generation biplane ARF.

FULL SCALE INFORMATION: |
Based on the proven Pitts Model 12 airframe, the Pitts Python is the ultimate in M14PF powered biplane design.
With 1800 pounds of static thrust, 400 horsepower and 1427lb empty weight, the Pitts Python has the greatest thrust to weight ratio of any aerobatic biplane produced today.
The Pitts Python is a single place aircraft that features reduced wing span, oversized near full span ailerons, 102" diameter MT prop, a balanced rudder, carbon cowling, carbon seat, carbon wheel pants, titanium firewall, titanium exhaust, and titanium canopy frame. A special lightweight landing gear system is custom made to Pitts Python specifications.
Extensive weight reduction is obtained through the deletion of many components such as the elimination of the front seat and front controls.
The wing fuel tank and onboard air start system are deleted as well.

WARNING - Gasoline and Turbine powered aircraft are not manufactured to withstand unlimited G's. Any aircraft can fail, be it a wing folding up or a fuselage breaking in half under too high of a load. Just as any full size aircraft, model aircraft have a maximum G rating. Because you are not in the plane flying it and experiencing the G's and reading the G-meter, it is more difficult to judge the G's on the aircraft, and it is very easy to exceed the limits of the aircraft. Understand that if you perform a snap roll, parachute, wall, blender, knife edge loop, or pull hard on the elevator at almost any speed, you can be putting in excess of 15 G's, even in excess of 30 G's, and most aircraft can only designed to take 10-12 G's. If you perform any violent maneuver, you can break your plane. When I perform hard maneuvers, especially for the first time on an airframe, I am prepared for a failure and am prepared for it as best I can be. This mainly includes performing the maneuver far enough away from spectators that in event of a failure that I am not endangering others. In addition, be prepared for the manufacturer to not pay for a new airframe which is broken during flight. It is common practice for any manufacturer to not replace an airframe which breaks in the air or upon landing. I have only seen manufacturers replace airframes when they have received many of the same failures and the manufacturer determines that there was a design or manufacturing error. If you break an airframe, and you are the only one to do so, then it is probably not the fault of the manufacturer. Please fly safely, and avoid full throttle operation other than at low airspeeds.
