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.
