Has anyone seen a flight review or a pilot report on the full scale Sopwith Triplane from Canada? *It uses tube fuse. like the DR-I instead of the original wood. *(Easy fix or you could mask the tubing that is visible with wood moulding) *The problem always with Triplanes, Camels, Pups, DR-I's, HD-1's etc is of engines... *Have heard rumors of LeRhone replicas but never does it materialize... *A rotary engine of 110 to 130 HP, for experimental use in the $10,000 range would sell like hotcakes! *With new production techniques, metals, technology and petroleum we could get a much better TBO than did the originals. *Speaking of engines, a 180HP Mercedes/185HP BMW would be pretty darn easy to make, its even a 4 stroke! *It would be a great boom for the German Replicas. *Lets face it, we need ALB D-III's, -V's, FOK D-VII's and Pfalz D-III/IIa's up there! *This would be a great project for an A & P or a Machinist! *You could cover your costs just in sales to Museums.
Ok, I am done shouting! *ha ha
