The
Camel had a reputation as a difficult plane to fly, but when flown by qualified
pilots, it was more than a match for its German rivals. The Camel was
credited with destroying more enemy aircraft than any other Allied type.
Capt. Roy Brown was flying a Camel in his famous encounter with the "Red Baron"
Manfred von Richtofen. The Rough and Ready Aviation Camel has all the good
qualities of the original without being difficult to fly.
Sopwith Camel Kit - $75
Features:
- Unique multi-layer Fuselage construction is
light, stiff and has
better resistance to twisting than "X" or carbon braced fuselages.
- Fuselage design insures proper
component placement and allows partial concealment of the receiver,
servos and battery and completely conceals the wiring and ESC. No
wires hanging loose!
- The Fuselage is pre-assembled in
factory jigs to ensure accuracy.
- Custom aluminum motor mount and hardware.
- Custom formed aluminum landing gear and
axle assembly for strength and good ground handling. No flimsy
gear here. Plywood mounts and large, light weight wheels are
included.
- Construction is from 6mm Depron with 3mm tail
surfaces.
- All Depron parts are machine cut and
"keyed" for easy, accurate assembly.
- Wings are machine to accept the supplied
1/8" carbon tube spars, just CA the spars in place.
- The wings have servo pockets machined for
correct servo placement.
- Laser cut plywood control horns are
included.
- The Camel features four ailerons for
outstanding maneuverability.
- Pushrods with "Z' bends and Micro "EZ"
connectors are included.
- Ultra strong, easy to install Mylar hinges.
- All necessary hardware to compete the
airframe is included.
- And best of all, super quick and easy
assembly. Your Rough & Ready
Aviation Sopwith Camel can be ready to fly in less than a day!
