Default RE: 1/3scale Sopwith Triplane

The colors are from a Sopwith Pup replica that is flying in Australia. I used the scheme on my Balsa USA 1/3 scale Pup. Everyone seems to like it, so I made this a sister plane in the same colors. Notice the different number on the tail. My trailer is also painted to mimic the scheme. Here is a picture of my Pup. It is the Pup Balsa USA displays in their 2009 catalog.

The maiden flight has not happened. I spent close to a year on construction, but now that it is finsished, I have not been able to get it to a nice large field for the maiden. I may still get that done this weekend. I will be taking her to the Warbirds over South Carolina GSWA event in Easly, S.C. next weekend.
