Built by Steve Wolf as a replica of the original Pitts Samson. Wolf started to convert Pitts Specials from 1978, supported by Curtis Pitts. Engine plating, undercarriage, ailerons and wings were part of the modifications which led to increased speed, roll ability and more G-force resistance. WS-002 was the second built aircraft and was modified to incorporate learning points from the first built. Wolf also built a 3/4 scale Samson (Samson Mite-1, N749SM, WM-001). 2 other Samsons were built by others, but both were involved in crashes. It appears that only the Samson Mite-1 still exists.
