Default RE: Hangar-9 Sopwith Camel Build Thread

hey guys, a friend of mine let me have a hanger 9 sopwith camel 60 arf that he won at a contest. i am very impressed with the crftsmanship that put into this arf and how much they have already done for us the modeler. i've decided to put an magnum 70 4stroke i have in it. ive used the motor on several planes and it's super reliable. i'm going to use an 14x4w apc prop ive used this prop before on 3-d planes, the 70 turns it great!!! going to use good hitec servos, going to use an hitec 81mg on throttle. still not sure if i will put it on 2.4 or 72 i have two JR 9303's the new x and the older xp model. ive got a good bit done to it so far., i just wanted to ask you guys a few questions and see what ya'll think.
i was thinking of doing some flying wires down on the landing gear basically going from the wheel to the fuse in an x configuation, i'm looking to add as much scale detail to it. has anyone ever seen pics of a real camel with this?? or what do ya'll think about doing it anyway. also what scale details were not included due to it's an arf and some times they don;t do everything. i saw the leader flag on this thread but what else is there??? thanks for any input ya'll can give!!!!

Mike
