Sopwith Camel - Full Scale Replica

 

For sale ON ebay 19/1/20

 

For sale is my Airdrome Airplanes full scale Sopwith Camel Replica. .

The aircraft is currently being test flown (I flew it last week) and as a result is restricted to how far it can fly from the strip, it will therefore be the buyers responsibility to organise transport and disassembly to have it relocated.

I have decided to list the plane for sale due to work commitments as I will no longer have the time nor commitment to complete the remainder of the test flying phase or sort out any associated issues as they arise. I am hoping that the aircraft will be purchased by someone or a small group of enthusiast that can put in the time that I don't have.

Be a nice pickup for someone, the Rotec is worth $25,000 new.

Really nice looker,

 

BUT has a reserve that could be the $25,000 motor price.

 

Hasn't reached a grand yet,

 

AND I want it.

No reason why it wouldn't fly well. The gyroscopic issues are not  there with a "conventional" motor, and it's a great look.. Nev

What a crying shame that the builder has to sell this. It oozes TLC.

This seemed to be the same one that was briefly advertised a few months ago for a quite reasonable price. Perhaps it was $65k.

 I've seen a good Sopwith PUP replica and they are really a scene stealer. Not heavy either, even the originals. The ROTEC is an authentic look and sound (one of the main reasons they were made). Certainly a non boring plane. Everything like that was called a "double winger"( including  a Tiger Moth), when I was a kid. . Nev
