The Pilot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yuichi Takagi<\/span><\/strong> -Performer-<\/em><\/span><\/small><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like most youth, Yuichi (pronounced Yu-i-chi) was captivated by flying. Born and raised in Japan, he moved to the United States to search for a new challenge and pursue his dream of becoming an aviator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yuichi made his first flight in 1992 and has accumulated more than 8,000 hours as a flight instructor, cargo pilot, and traffic watch pilot. He is also a certified aircraft mechanic (A&P).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is also an active competitor flying his Pitts Special in the Unlimited category. An aerobatic competition judge for the Federation A\u00e9ronautique Internationale (FAI) and International Aerobatic Club (IAC) and a chief judge\/instructor for the Japan Sport Aerobatic Club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With 20 years of competition aerobatic flying experience, Yuichi\u2019s precise flying and dynamic style make his classic Pitts Special S-2S dance across the sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Airplane<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pitts Special S-2S<\/span><\/strong> -aircraft-<\/em><\/span><\/small><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pitts Special S-2S is an exceptional aerobatic biplane known for its impressive performance. Featuring a robust fuselage for handling high aerobatic G-loads, and the high-performance “WolfPitts Wing” designed by Steve Wolf, which enhances its roll rate with oversized ailerons on main wings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powered by a Lycoming AEIO-540-D4A5 aerobatic engine, tuned to output 330 horsepower by LyCon Aircraft Engines, this airplane is built for high-octane aerobatic maneuvers. The MT-Propeller\u2019s MTV-9-B-C is a constant-speed propeller with wide chord blades, ensures consistent power and high thrust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With its iconic, traditional red and white paint, classic rounded wing tips and beautiful lines in the air and on the ground, the Pitts Special is a favorite among air show fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
