This is NOT a Sopwith Pup.
Another addition to my NotA series of aircraft.
As with this series, it is based off of whatever plans I can find on the internet.
A fair bit of XML going on here.
The Pup was so light a couple of strong men would have been able to lift it, tipping the scales at around 1200 lbs (560kg) loaded.
Flight controls as per normal.
Landing is tricky, I think I have the wheel position wrong. Get on the brakes too soon and it will nose over.
The 'Vickers' machine gun, played by a scaled down mini gun won't damage the propeller because of a delay mechanism built into it so it does not fire when the propeller is going to be in the way. ;)
Blue Angel colors used because it looks good.

Ask and ye shall receive.
Not as pretty as a real one, the part count would have skyrocketed just doing the wing ends alone, but it's pretty sweet to fly.
EDIT: looked at plans again. Front wings are a whole TWO FEET TOO WIDE (front to back)! Oops!
