As others have said, it's an Ansaldo SV. It was designed and built very late in WW1, originally with the intention that it would be a fighter, but its speed and maneuverability meant that it ended up also being used as a reconnaissance aircraft and/or light bomber; one which would be well capable of defending itself in the unlikely event it was intercepted, which didn't happen much since it could do about 140 mph. This was very fast for a WW1 aeroplane, much faster than most other late-war fighters. What made it fast was its use of a warren truss arrangement (triangular) for the struts, which are, to a large extent, self-supporting, so it didn't need a ton of bracing wires between the wings to help support the structure. This considerably reduced both the weight and the drag as well as meaning it didn't require as much rigging to be done in order for it to fly optimally.
Carlos is a very skilled Model Engineer. Designed and built from scratch including the plan. I've got an idea that he even built the engine. Shame about the tip over as he ran out of runway.
I love this model. Usually the great scratch builders never get the hang of actually flying good. I see it al the time. I am a flyer. I had no patience for kits or scratch. But I fly with the best of them.
This is the Ansaldo SVA 5 - Appears he modeled it after the actual aircraft at the Vigna di Valle Italian Air Force Museum at Lake Bracciano. Wonderful museum.
He did not run out of runway. He either ran out of rudder control due to low speed, or he failed to use all of his rudder control and ground looped it. Something very common to tail draggers without a steerable tail wheel. The approach could have been much better also. But the damage seems to be light and it could be back in the air rather quickly.
If the Landing had been a bit slower it probably would not have finished on its back, was it a maiden flight? they can sometimes be tricky especially when you are not sure of its handling quirks when landing a little hot. Really nice model.
That is why if your approach is off you go around, as it was in this case. If a maiden flight do a few practice approaches to get the feel, that is after your stall tests at a height.

I'm not an expert by any means but those struts look like they would create just as much drag as wires.
You have to use the forgotten control surface : Rudder,all the time.
This looks so good
amazing model. very nice.
Nice plane but as they say, "every good landing is preceded by a good approach" going around is easy, repairing that rudder not so easy!

Ran out of runway as his approach was way off and he forced it down at the end, instead of the prudent option of a go around.
Ansaldo A.1 Balilla circa 1918

"Tis but a scratch" great model.

Yes, I have visited that museum.....lovely location and fantastic displays of Italian aircraft. Highly recommended.
As Hunterboy said, and what a climb out 👍
He did not run out of runway. He either ran out of rudder control due to low speed, or he failed to use all of his rudder control and ground looped it.

Great model, looks good in the air but how come no left rudder as it swung right off the runway ?
Sadly flipped upside down, but a great looking model 💪

Sad that it flipped at the end
Props to all the good women that help us with, and put up with our crazy obsession
It's an Italian ANSALDRO S.V.A. 9 from Worls War 1
Hard to control with a tailskid. Great model. This guy is an artisan. At first I thought an S.E.5.
Nice model, love the sound of the engine, but he came in too high and too fast , a forced landing, but really nice aeroplane,
Nice plane, but terribly loud. Needs a 4-stroke..
Ansalada?
He descended way too fast and came in too fast as a result. He should have gone around...
Ansaldo SVA V
What a HORRIBLE engine sound for this plane...bäääääähhhh
Lol wtf was that landing about?…gotta be said that was pretty awful,maybe some more practice on the WOT4 before this is flown again…nice model tho
Beautiful. Too bad it sounds like a Mustang flying around at full throttle.
Bardzo realistyczny lot.
