I would love to drive a car modified like this.

You need an airplane like that, don't you?

This one would do. It'll be a while before I get bored of landing inverted. :-)

Is there a strut sticking up from the tail?

I think that yes, those two white lines are struts reinforcing the horizontal stabilizer. The unmodified Pitts I am used to has steel cables performing that function, one above and one below on both left and right sides -- they're nearly invisible. This guy has probably beefed it up a great deal. :-)

You can't see the upper tailwheel in that image, which puzzled me; it's barely visible in this one.

Ah, OK. I figured there had to be *something* to keep the tail from being dragged off.
