Does anyone know of a company that makes a .40 to .60 sized Pitts
ARF? I've poked aorund and found only a few, and none in this size
range.

Thanks,
Steve

Ace Hobby has a nice new Thunder Tiger Pitts Special .40 ARF:

This model was sold by Robbe in Europe for some time as well, which is a
good thing. I bought one and Thunder Tiger hadn't put a manual in the box
yet, so I found the Robbe manual online. I put a GP-42 engine in mine, and
it turned out to be a great combination.

There is a thread about it here:

Thanks for the info, looks like I may be in luck.

Any auggestions for a 4 stroke engine for it? I'd like to put a smoke
system in and I've only had marginal luck with 2-strokes. I guess I
should ask if there's room for a smoke system in the first place...

Thanks for directing me to the source!!

A .52 ~ .56 4-stroke would be way more than enough engine for one of these
TT Pitts 40 ARFs. You could use an older .48 4-stroke or even a newer .40
4-stroke without being underpowered. It's a nice, roomy fuselage so smoke
should be workable as well.

Thundertiger4u.com is out of them and I can't order directly from Ace
Hobby.
Anyone have another suggestion where to get my hands on one?

Thanks,
Steve
