Hauksbee Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) Found this on YouTube: a Pup going through her paces. Nice camera work; the plane usually well framed. . Edited October 10, 2015 by Hauksbee Quote
+Olham Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 The Pup is one of my favourite British planes to fly in WOFF; she is such a cute and easy-going butterfly, isn't she? Great video, Hauksbee - thanks for sharing! Quote
Hauksbee Posted October 10, 2015 Author Posted October 10, 2015 How do we get the video to show in the text window? At SimHQ a YouTube URL shows up right away. Quote
+Olham Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 Here it's even easier - you just copy the YOUTUBE address and throw it into your post, Hauksbee. Quote
Hauksbee Posted October 10, 2015 Author Posted October 10, 2015 i got it: you just copy and paste. Originally, I clicked on the 'make-a-link' icon and pasted into the little box provided. Thanks, Olham. Interesting video: a modern pilot talks about rotary engines and nuances of flying his own Pup. . Quote
JimAttrill Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 The Pup is a lovely aircraft to fly in WOFF as well, though I'm not sure I noticed the gyroscopic precession which was a lot more noticeable in the Camel. Flying training was very hit or miss in those days - more RFC pilots died in training crashes than were shot down by the Germans. But imagine flying in a thing which had only been invented a decade before! And if you read the books on aerodynamics of the time you realise that nobody really knew how an aircraft actually flew !!

Hauksbee Posted October 13, 2015 Author Posted October 13, 2015 ...and a remarkably forgiving aircraft after all those DH-2's, E.III's (Fokker and Pfaltz). I love to hear its airframe groan and creak around me in a dogfight. Quote
