Does anyone have cockpit images or plans/drawings for the Sopwith Baby ?

Hi Mossie,
Did anyone get back to you on the Sopwith Baby?
Oct/Nov 1993 Radio Control Scale Aircraft magazine has a collection of documentary, 1/8 scale building article, 1/4 scale article & 1/8 scale pull/out plans. A long gone British magazine. (plans by David Boddington)
Cheers,
Reg

Not so far, you wouldn't happen to have a copy of any of the items you mention ?

Wasn't this aircraft featured in a recent C&C?
As I recal it included some very nice looking plans and a cutaway.

Any data would be helpful. I have a plan of the prop, but no surface details.

THe nearest example, a composite, is about an hours drive away, and I've planned another visit, but need permission to get close to photograph the details, inclucing cockpit. If I do, I'll add to my site.

The cockpit is the big unknown, was it like the Camel or Pup, both are quite different. The guages are likely to be the same, but the structure and layout will be different.
