Dream Machine : (currently qualified)
The Dream Machine is a factory built biplane designed and first built by Curtis Pitts over fifty years ago. This biplane design was inspired and modeled after the very first airplane designs, including two wings, fly wires and fabric covering. This design can be seen in aerobatic competitions today as well as airshows all over the world. The biplane design captures the true romance of what airshows are all about.

The Dream Machine can be changed from one seat to two seat configuration by swapping the canopies. The transformation can be made rather quickly, allowing for more versatility for both airshow performances and media rides. The single place canopy improves the performance by reducing drag and increasing the accellaration. Aside from a handheld GPS used for cross country flights, the instruments are your basic airspeed, altitude and engine monitoring guages. The overall design and mission of this beautiful machine is purely stick and rudder skydancing.
