Prometheus Biplane
Prometheus the flying machine is part Pitts Special, and the rest is the vision of Skip Stewart. Starting life as a Pitts S-2S, Prometheus was modified to give Skip the airshow machine he wanted. This flying machine looks like a good old American hot rod. The horsepower was increased to (400), the big three-bladed prop reminds you of oversized racing slicks. The rear canted landing gear makes it look fast sitting on the ground, and the paint job yells “street rod.”
