RE: Hangar-9 Sopwith Camel Build Thread
I've actually thought about angling the landing gear forward some more. Never thought about the wheels being an issue.
Although mine didn't do it. I've seen the same reaction in some of the N-17's, when they were around. You can grease one on and all of a sudden it "shimmies and trips', and over it goes. I've made sure I have toe in to help. Take offs are not an issue.
I "rudder" almost all my WW1 birds. They all just turn better with the rudder.
This is my 8th WW1 bipe (and 2 tripes) in the last 4 years and it is by far the worst flyer. It won't beat me, I intend to keep trimming until I get it flying the way it should.
Thanks for all the advice, I will definately consider any help.
