The Sopwith Pup in motion...

Found this on YouTube: a Pup going through her paces. Nice camera work; the plane usually well framed.

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!

How do we get the video to show in the text window? At SimHQ a YouTube URL shows up right away.

Here it's even easier - you just copy the YOUTUBE address and throw it into your post, Hauksbee.

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.

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 !!

...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.
