RE: Hangar-9 Sopwith Camel Build Thread
Yep, but not so much to see as it was pretty closely guarded. I am in awe of those guys, sailing a bit of plastic and then getting some pretty horrendous injuries, and having to just put up with it until you get to some land...and bounced the whole way.
So far as the trim you see, yeah, they need a pretty good push to keep them level, not something to be done for any length of time. The pilots have a bit of bunjee cord they can wrap around the stick for longer flights, to relieve the arm muscles. You can see how 'tail high' the D-8 flys, the D-7 seems to fly with the upper longeron along the line of flight. I will see if I can find a similar piccie of the Camel, just to see what it shows...
