... I thought I'd let you know that I'm well into my second build which is a Sopwith Camel to original spec except for the engine. The R3600 will go into the Camel as it definitely needs a round engine because the cowl is completely open at the front. I could still do with a bit more weight/power but will add lead as necessary to get the C of G right. I don't suppose you are considering producing a 180hp Rotec ? {Rotec reply: sorry no such plans}
Well that's it for now. I'll send regular updates, and have attached pictures of the Camel wing construction progress.
All the best,
Peter Bond.
