My late Grandfather served with the American Army Signal Corps in the UK and talked at length about the SE5 and was amused watching the rotary powered Sopwiths buzzing away where he was posted.
Those rotary motors must have been difficult to master with all that inertia trying to spin the plane as well as propelling it forward,it wasn't until i actually saw one that i understood how the ignition and fuel worked on them,it must have been marvellous for our old relations to see the progress of flight as it was only 11 years until the start of WW1 😎
Just magnificent 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
It is a very nice model 👍👍😎

Well done Mark and for using IC too👏🏻I have a new 200 surpass that'd be staggeringly good in that.
IC might be making a comeback, i prefer fourstroke much better 😎
Lovely. If only all maidens were as good as this! Perfect scale takeoff and landing. What engine does it have?
Thanks Graham,sorry for the delay, Mark has a ZENOAH 26 😎
Lovely Bob. Where are the flyingdruids located. Seems a good club.
We are in South Wiltshire between STONEHENGE and SHREWTON 👍😎
its a 26cc zenoah
Looks like it would need to dive a bit to perform a loop
Yes,the motor is new so a little turning might help 😎
@@bobbarlow1 yes, maybe some props changes
I think that's in the thinking 😎
Airplane RC okay
Thank you,it's a really good model 😎
