Sopwith Schneider (100% Scale)
The Sopwith Tabloid and Schneider were British biplanes, originally designed as sports aircraft and later adapted for military use. They were among the first types to be built by the Sopwith Aviation Company.
The "Tabloid", so named because of its small size and great speed, caused a sensation
when it first appeared. its performance easily surpassed the existing monoplanes of the day.
A floatplane variant was prepared and entered the 1914 Schneider Trophy race. Piloted by Howard Paxton this aircraft comfortably won the competition, the floatplane variant consequently becoming known as the Sopwith Schneider.
Production orders for both types were placed by the military, and although the Tabloid only saw limited service in the early years of the war some
Schneiders were still in service at the end of the war in 1918.
Now you can own a WWI classic. The airdrome aeroplanes full scale replica retains the same character as the original, with pleasant flying characteristics and great
maneuverability.
This modern version has adopted advanced construction techniques, todays engine technology and flight performance qualities that make it a joy to fly!

I'm about to order one of the kits. Cannot wait to get started.
Did you ever do it?
Excellent job Guys, You must be very proud !Thanks, Ron
Great interview, great interviewees, and such great detail! Thanks
Splendid video about an amazing aeroplane. Thank you for sharing this informative video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Would've liked to have seen the cockpit.
Nice plane though & great interview.
G'day
I particularly applaud this Tabloid/Schneider's & Baby's use of a steep Reduction-Drive, via Belts, to enable the use of a sufficiently large & slow-rev'ing Propeller and thus achieve the correct Propeller-Blast, and therefore powered Massflow over the Tail-Surfaces - required in order to duplicate the flight-handling & control-response characteristics of the original.
Now, all it "needs" would be a Lead-weighted Steel Flange on the Driven-Pulley..., to function as a much more massive Flywheel ; the better to authentically reproduce the effects of Gyroscopic Precession, which used to flavour the handling of every Aeroplane which ever used a Rotary Engine...
A suggestion for a next project would be to build an Avro 504-k replica which handles properly...
Then, once comfortable on an Avro 504-k with historically-accurate Gyroscopic handling...; it might even be time to cobble-up a Sopwith Camel which flies & behaves, aerodynamically, according to the original Pilot's Notes...(?) !
Just(ifiably ?) sayin',
;-p
Ciao !
