The Pitts S-12 Macho Stinker represents the pinnacle of aerobatic biplane design, serving as Curtis Pitts' final and most ambitious aircraft creation. First flown in March 1996, it is a large two-seat tandem biplane powered by a 360-horsepower Russian Vedeneyev M14P radial engine. With a 23-foot wingspan and 2,550-pound gross weight, the S-12 was specifically engineered to provide greater range and baggage capacity than previous Pitts designs while maintaining full aerobatic capability. The aircraft was manufactured through plans, kits, and factory-built variants by Jim Kimball Enterprises and later 92nd West Aviation. AviatorDB tracks 110 Pitts aircraft currently registered in the FAA database. The ICAO type designator for this aircraft model is PTMS.
