RE: Balsa USA 1/3 Scale Sopwith Pup
Don't try to roll it , will scare you to death . Trouble is i think , that the fact it has 3/8 wood dowels to locate the wings & there is so much slop that the wings can move , I had a 1/4 sopwith pup & have a 1/4 scale sopwith triplane & both roll good , but differance is that the 1/4 pup had 2 wings in one piece , not joined , the Triplne is in sections but has s/head cap screws to bolt together . On scale builder web one time i asked if anybody had ever rolled this kit model , 2 replied & said "yes but never again " . Just try tapping the wing tips when it is assembled & see the movement . But if you fly around , do a loop , stall turn , its a wonderful model .
