How to Buy

Gunderson AeroDesign is the exclusive producer of accessories for Bernard Burton's popular 26% Pitts M12, "Spirit of Pitts". The "Spirit of Pitts" is detailed in this rcuniverse.com thread (link). We offer a full line of accessories to finish the kit, including the wing tubes, cowling, canopy, landing gear, wheel pants, and cabane struts. Please see the cart options at the bottom of this page for more information on the purchase options.

Our Spirit of Pitts short kit and accessories are second to none in terms of quality. Here are some of the highlights of our kit and accessories:

• Rolled Plans - Our rolled plans are printed at full scale on a 24lb bond bright white paper in 36" x 128" sheets. Using such heavy paper makes the details on the plans stand out, and the plans will last through multiple builds without much wear. You won't get quality like this from your local Kinko's, at this price anyway! Why go to the length of finding a local print shop that will charge you even more for a lower quality product? If you only buy one item for the Spirit of Pitts, make it the printed plans.
• Short Kit - Our short kit is laser cut from highly refined CAD files of the Spirit of Pitts to ensure an easy build where the parts fit together the first time, every time!
• Full Wood Kit - The Spirit of Pitts was designed in Belgium using standard metric materials. So to the short kit we add very high quality metric wood not normally available in the United States to complete the kit.
• Fiberglass Cowling - The fiberglass cowling is custom molded for the Spirit of Pitts. It is thin, light, and strong. We added a reinforcement strip around the base of the cowling to provide extra support for your mounting screws.
• Lexan Canopy - The Lexan canopy is custom molded for the Spirit of Pitts. We oversized the canopy to allow the builder to trim as needed for a perfect fit.
• Wing Tubes - The wing tubes are a high quality aluminum tube with a phenolic sleeve. The wing tubes makes traveling with your Spirit of Pitts a snap.
• Landing Gear - We have the landing gear custom manufactured from 6061 T6 aluminum. Simply drill for mounting and axles.
• Cabane Struts - The cabanes are precision cut from strong 2024 aluminum using a water jet technology. The struts are delivered unbent to allow you to bend them to fit your build.
