Dear EggsMartha:

The PIPE Here yet AGAIN...and at http://rf-hp.npi.msu.su/~vasya/RC/pl...1/sop3_tif.zip you can download a whole SET of Russian-drafted plans for the Sopwith Triplane-and these show you EVERYTHING!

Also, for additional documentation, check THESE items available from LEO OPDYCKE of the WORLD WAR I AERO quarterly publication...

*set of dwgs supplementary to factory set and Replictaft set, showing details of steel-tube structure for modern version. Fr Chad Witte. Also fr Witte: parts kit."


And Leo's mailing address and TELEPHONE NUMBER are at the homepage of the site I got these WW I AERO mentioned materials' description from, at http://www.ww1aeroplanesinc.org/ !!!

For your documentation, there's Windsock Datafile No.22 on the Tripehound, available from Hannan's Runway or Wise Owl Publications...so I hope these sources ARE enough to get you started!

Hope these tips helped!

Yours Sincerely,

The PIPE!
