Simon Chaddock Posted February 8, 2024 Share Posted February 8, 2024 (edited) Beautiful detailing, very nice indeed. I never can understand why nearly all scale WWI biplanes do not use a scale wing section. They look odd with "thick" section wings when they should use something like this. The usual excuse is a thin section has bad characteristics yet the Pup was known for its ease of handling. Not a criticism just an observation.

Don Fry Posted February 8, 2024 Share Posted February 8, 2024 Full size airfoil, efficient use of power, and chuck ability, and all the wires holds it in place. Miget size airfoil, less efficient, don’t like that front end if I slam power and up on (nasty stall). (Note I have a lot more power)but crucially, who fancies doing a tensioning regime every flight.

bert baker Posted February 19, 2024 Author Share Posted February 19, 2024 Thinking back to my boating days plane might suffer the same issues you can scale down a boat but you can’t scale down the water or the weather possibly with planes you can scale the size down but can you scale the strength to weight of the wood down Dunno must be some reasons why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Chaddock Posted February 19, 2024 Share Posted February 19, 2024 When I built my small RC Pup it was this picture that demonstrated just how frighteningly delicate the full size was bearing in mind the Le Rhone rotary accounted for 34% of the plane's empty weight.
