    What a magnificent flying machine, Cliff! So graceful... when it caught the sun on those low right turns, it looked like a giant dragonfly!

    Beautiful Cliff! What a beauty. Glad you got her sorted. Very interesting history on the Sopwith Triplane.

      Thanks Adam, what is amazing is the speed of development during the War, in only a matter of months a design is virtually obsolete 🤔👍

    Nice flight. Raymond Collishaw and Thomas Sopwith would be proud. Little point of interest. Anthony Fokker was inspired by the Sopwith tripe hound to make the Dr1.

    One of the problems with both full scale tri planes was with the single post strut out on the wing letting them twist. You might have a bit of twist in any one or more of the 6 wing halves, making it roll left. just something to check.
    Looks awesome😎 happy flying.

    Cliff you've got a really fantastic 'plane now that she's sorted, it looks really stunning in flight especially when the sun shon through the wings. Have you ever considered fitting a sound generator? It would be fantastic with one. Congratulations.

    What a lovley flight cliff. And such a nice morning in Kingsteignton take it you were up early at the field? Did you manage to use or sell any of the ic engines from dad's collection hope they went to support your channel cliff. regards Chris from kingskerswell.

      Hi Chris, thanks, it was about 10.30, busy the day before, I was surprised to be on my own. We can't fly before 10am in any case. Still got the engines but I have loosened them all up successfully, cheers. Ps my sister asked are you the same person who worked for the NHS in Brixham? 🙂👍

    Pretty plane, sir .. watching this, .. a person can be transported into that real world, when these planes were in operation. It looks like it do a somewhat scaled speed flying. So, it's stall speed is around 5 MPH, .. or maybe more, if that hillcrest area added to your headwind? Either way, .. I like the flying characteristics of your plane. Thanks

    • @CliffHarveyRCPlanes
      @CliffHarveyRCPlanes  3 місяці тому

      You're quite right, with a top speed of 117mph she wasn't exactly a speed machine by today's standards 🤔👍

    Lovely model.
    Cliff is it the filming or are you flying around your head?
    Felt like I was watching a bit of around the cliff for a while. 😂
    Obviously model aircraft should always be flown in front of you.. Im guessing it's illusion of the camera.
