The installation is simple and focused on the essentials, exactly as it should be in a Pitts.

The cockpit is exactly what one would expect from a genuine Pitts: compact, purposeful and entirely focused on the flying. The two-seat tandem configuration and enclosed canopy provide a traditional aerobatic environment, with a functional layout designed around visibility, control and pilot engagement rather than touring comfort.

F-GGTR presents exceptionally well externally in its distinctive yellow and black checkerboard scheme.

During a recent in-person inspection, the aircraft was found to be in excellent visual condition. No visible cracks, loose or sagging fabric, or stone-chip marks were noted. The covering appeared clean, correctly tensioned and well maintained throughout.
