RE: Balsa USA 1/3 Scale Sopwith Pup
Hello fellow Pup pilots; Just came upon this thread. Been building Pups since 74 ,from .40 to 1.2 in one scale or another and now finishing a BUSA 1/3 scale that I started 14 yrs. ago but always had something interfere with finishing it. I do want to suggest that this plane was a scout/fighter, not an aerobatic plane. A snap roll? Never. Axial roll? Not on your life. But a long ,graceful, rudder roll is a thing of beauty. A well executed chandelle with the Pup hanging on a stall at the top could befuddle any plane chasing it.Please fly this plane like the real one. A 850 lb. machine powered by a mere 80 HP rotary. Remember your visuals ! I'm OK now , just had to get that out!! puplover
