Hi all,

I'm in the very early stages of a full-scale airworthy Sopwith Pup project, and I'm working from Jim Kiger's Replicraft plans. I've hit a bit of a snag regarding tube sizing for the vertical stabiliser and rudder. The plans say nothing! If you know what I should use, or have access to original Sopwith info about this, please don't hesitate to get in touch!

In addition, the detail on rudder control horns is very vague. What I'd dearly love is detail photos of original Sopwith machines, or if this isn't possible, any replica machines around the world.

At this point that's all I require, but no doubt will be calling on you all in the next few months as things progress!

Cheers,
Zac
