one thing only

well the sopwith came in a good package, after the full assembly i look to the wings and i realize that the upper wing was not flat but turn so when i flew the plane i had to trim the alerons a lot to compensate the flight, beside of that its a very wolfy plane to fly so its not recomended for a beginner pilot

Really nice model

Aug 26, 2021

This model went together very easily and exactly as per the instruction manual. There is a slight gap between the horizontal stab and the cut-out in the fuse but I filled that with some scrap balsa. Also, my cowl magnets didn't quite line up. The included stickers are pretty rubbish and not very scale - you may want to replace these?
But these were pretty minor issues and the finished model looks and flies great (with a gyro/stabiliser.) I use a 1300mAh lipo with 2oz of weight on the motor box to balance.
I do think it's pretty pricey for what it is though, hence the 4 stars for value.

Great build quality

Aug 11, 2021

I don't have this in the air yet, but the components are nicely built, light and true, with good quality covering and finish. The supplied wooden prop is way too big for the aircraft - come down to about a 9 x 6. or even 9 x 4 for scale flight. Overall a very nice kit and recommended.

A nice looking plane, but...

Jul 20, 2021

Bought this pricey plane and initially quite impressed. That is until I started to install servos in the wings. Strings were conveniently provided to fish the servo leads through the wing however it appears that the openings (holes) in the ribs won't allow the connector ends to pass through. So either you have to cut through the coating or cut off the servo connectors and re-solder to get them through.
