Sopwith Pup based at Omaka fitted with CAMS 100HP Gnome Rotary engine.

Video of Pup flight Tuesday 23rd Feb 2021 Have only trimmed a little bit out of the warm up at the start. Some points to note: After the initial couple of coughs and a warm up and just prior to the chocks being pulled you can here the engine miss a little. What Wayne is doing is closing the Tampier (fuel control) till it starts to miss, then goes forward towards to make the mixture rich and then settles the tampier in about the middle of those 2 points. Wayne made some mods to the steerable tail,skid which you can see from the video work well. Part of the reason for the flight this morning was to try running on the 1/2 ignition which as you can see from the video is a good portion of the flight. Worked very well, hopefully will be slow enough for the Neiuports so they can keep up!!
