Description
PLANS ONLY – NOT A KIT
Sopwith Scooter
A scale 51″ wingspan parasol monoplane model for .20 engines & 2/3 channel RC
Featured in Autumn 1988 Radio Control Scale Aircraft Quarterly (RCSA)
In June 1918, Sopwith
flew an unarmed parasol monoplane
derivative of the
Camel
, the Sopwith Monoplane #1
, also known as the
Sopwith Scooter
.
It used a normal Camel fuselage, with the wing mounted just above the fuselage, with a very small gap. The wing was braced using RAF-wire (streamlined bracing wires) to a pyramid shaped cabane
above the wing. It was powered by a single 130 hp (97 kW)
Clerget 9B rotary.
The Scooter, which was used as a runabout and aerobatic mount by Sopwith test pilot Harry Hawker, demonstrated excellent maneuverability, and formed the basis of a fighter derivative, originally the Monoplane #2, and later known as the Sopwith Swallow
.
