1/3 Scale busa Sopwith PupHelp
Im seeing now why they say this is a kit for experienced builders!! Ive built kits before but this one is out there a bit. Im questioning the way the wing tip should look. Not from the top, but from outboard looking in. Is it supposed to follow the undercamber?? Anyone with pics?? Thanks

this plane is stand off scale so no it doesnt follow the undercamber if your building to plans. but you can laminate your own wing tip bows and sand to shape if you want it more scale.

I originally built the wing the way the plans called out but the look was totally wrong. I made a jig using a Rib demension and Laminated the tips with 1/16 balsa. Had to replace all four-URG!!

There is a gigantic thread on here on the 1/3 pup..but I have to admit I couldn't seem to find it? its only like 40-50 pages 
This plane flies so well I am not sure you can build the tips wrong ! hahhaha
On the one I bought framed up the tips are flat underneath, no undercut...
