Information sharing improves knowledge of both.

Re: BIPLANE (SOPWITH CAMEL)

RC, One issue.
In biplane, the two wings fixing (for 4 nos) are generally not parallel so that it cannot be tilted. Like
=====╦====================╦=====
║ \\ // ║
║ ║▓▓▓║ ║
=====╩=======╩===╩========╩=====

This angular placement of simply block the shape of rectangle so that it can not shift to trapezium. In your picture, I cannot realize that it has been kept into account or not.

Of course, in some SPADs it has not been used.
Hope you won't mind if I am wrong.

And we are waiting to see the dressed baby of your; Playing in field. Hats Off

Re: BIPLANE (SOPWITH CAMEL)

Kalyan, RC has already told us that he has built this model to plan. The wings on the Sopwith Camel are not parallel. The lower wing has a dihedral, while the upper wing is flat. If you study the build pictures carefully, you will see that RC has indeed catered for a lower wing dihedral.

I hope I haven't misunderstood you. Wink

Re: BIPLANE (SOPWITH CAMEL)

Very nice effort. If you are able to gently apply heat to the cowl and distend the lower potion and apply a curvature to the front, it will be spot on! Thumbs Up
