No worries on how many hours you are into the build as it’s about the journey (for me anyway) when building an aircraft. So enjoy the moments. Also your build is without a doubt going to be the best one ever built and a real sweet flying head turner. Take care and enjoy the build. Cheers. Jim
Scott, I find your videos are really good. Nice to see things being done properly. Shame that the kit manufacturer doesn't operate to quite the same tolerances.
G'day, Yay Team ! This is GLORIOUS... I'm really enjoying watching it, thankyou for making and posting the Videos.

Well said!

Thanks 👍
Yes, the gap. Is it not too large?
Not on these old aircraft. Gap seal could be fitted though.
Where was this kit made? Looks like Chinese quality control.
Airdrome airplanes materials kit.
Where can I get this kit I’ve loved sopwith camels since I was 8
Airdrome airplanes
G'day,
Yay Team !
This is
GLORIOUS...
I'm really enjoying watching it, thankyou for making and posting the Videos.
I'm pretty olde Skool, all my Vid's are shot in a single continuous Take, with jump-cuts on the pause-button.
So, I really enjoy your production standards...; great to see, actually.
At the 0:01:45 or so, you were quibbling with the
Designer's
Prescription....;
Regarding their
Sopwith Camel-oid LOOKALIKE's
Stabilisor's
"Rigger's Angle Of Incidence"...
{!}
Really ?
That thing you're building has a
DIFFERENT
AEROFOIL....,
DIFFERENT
ENGINE (Weight)...,
Different Rear-Fuselage Weight
(Wood vs Aluminium Tubes)...
And...,
The Camel was
DESIGNED
To be
SO Very
Tail Heavy....;
That on Take-Off,
One was advised to apply
FULL-FORWARD STICK,
AND
THEN....
Wait until the Tail came up
And
The Nose was on the
Horizon
BEFORE
Reducing the
FULL
NOSE
DOWN
Elevator on Take-Off.
Then,
With full Fuel,
A Camel
Would
Require
10 or 12
Pounds of
Forward Stick-Force,
In order to fly
Straight & Level.
In my (unfinished)
"Sopwith Camel"
Series, to be located in my
"Personal Aeroplanology"
Playlist,
About halfway through,
I read to Camera,
Aeroplane Magazine's
Feature Articles on both
The Camel's Design,
And the
Test Pilot's
Memoirs & Commentary, regarding
Flying a New-Built Camel with an
Original
Engine.
My suspicion is that,
Along
With the WRONG
Aerofoil...
Your Kit's
Designer...
Hath
Fiddeledethificated
With
Ye
Olde
"Tailplane Incidence Angles..."
All the better-er
To
Force
Ye Lookalike
To
Levitate in any sort of a manner,
Which any
Tricycle-Gear Trained
Modern
CONSUMER
Might perhaps
Possibly &
Pissabubblie...,
Be
Capable of
Flying
"safely" ?
I
Dunno...
I love your Ribs & Wingtips.
I applaud your
Shitcanning the
Dud components as
Supplied...
But, that there
Mercenary
Mongrel who sold you the
Very marginal "Kit Kamel"...;
Might
Have
Bin-Right...,
Regarding that there
Stabilisor Incidence.
Talk to an actually qualified Aerodynamicist,
Maybe after watching my Camel Series,
BEFORE
Deciding to
Alter what the
KIT-Designer has presumably already
Tested (?) !
I'm only a Hillbilly Propeller-Carver, who survived
Redesigning,
Rebuilding &
Flight-Testing
A
Mostly-completed
Scratch-Built
Ultralight Motor-Glider.
But when I was 17 my Volunteer position was wiping the Rocker-Box Grease off the underside of Neil Cottee's Sopwith Pup Replica at Olde Bowral Airfield - because it was as close to a
Camel
As a teenager could contrive to
Be allowed to
Help
Play with.
I would go
REALLY
Carefully...;
Before playing about with
Stabilisor Incidence
On a
Stand-off
Lookalike
"Replica".
All that
Nose-Down Rigging
MAY
Have been deliberately done,
In order to
"De-Fang"
The basic
Camel
Aerodynamic
Geometry &
Aerophysics...(?) !
And, remember...
I might well be
Wrong.
(My personal Bullshit Content currently appears to hover around 5%...; but whether that renders one 95% correct
All
The time...,
Or
100% correct
19 times out of 20
And then
100%
Wrong on the next
Thunkification...,
THAT be a
Conclusion which I find myself sadly
Unable to be in any way
Sure of.
So,
"Everything In this (book)
May be
Wrong...!"

Ciao !
.
Was that 5/8 between stab & elevator?
Do you mean the gap?
Ear protection??
Highly recommended.
