Sopwith Pup Drawings

I,m looking for drawings for the Sopwith Pup for a full scale flying reproduction. Does anyone know where I cuold find some? thanks contact me at Clubwing@aol.com

check with 'WW1 AERO ' magazine they sell some plans or they might steer you in the right direction

Jim Kiger in California sells a complete set of plans for a number of Great War a/c's. These are all 1:5 scale and on 30x77 inch sheets.In the case of the Pup, 5 sheets and costing $50+4 shipping. Order from Replicraft 1400 Gomes Rd.
Fremont, CA 94539. Several Sopwiths nearing completion built from these outstanding plans.

You might try Old Rhinebeck Aerdorme in NY state. There is a "Pup" at the DFW airport or there abouts Ill find the location and mail it later.

Pat's comment about a Pup at DFW is pretty close. Its actually hanging in the main terminal building of Love Field just north of downtown Dallas (the pre DFW Dallas airport). It's a repro, but a nice looking one that, other than the engine, appears to be a fairly accurate copy of the original (tail skid v. tail wheel, etc.) It is suspended just outside the (upstairs) door to the Love Field Aviation Museum. A nice collection with a few interesting WW 1 pieces. Quite worth a visit during a layover. There's also a very good aviation art gallery right across from the museum.

You may also want to contact the RAF Museum at Hendon. They may have what you are looking for.

Due to the litigous nature of today's biz-world British Aerospace, who still own the rights to the Sopwith aeroplanes, will not allow RAF Hendon to supply construction drawings. Their greatest fear is to have to fight off yet anothet law-suit by someone who cracks his newly built Sopwith, as has been done before. Sorry about that, however, the chaps at Hendon are very friendly and eager to help any enthusiast. Still worth the journey!
