	Sopwith Pup (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The elegant Sopwith Pup was a design much beloved by pilots which flew it, one of the descriptions of the Pups handling being, "it was so light to the touch, if you sneezed, you looped".
		The Pup despite being underpowered with an 80 Hp LeRhone Rotary engine, having light construction and a slow firing Vickers, it was one of the few aircraft of the period that could compete with the German Albatros Scout on equals terms in early 1917.
		Later in 1918 and 1919, Sopwith Pups were used in trials on HMS Ark Royal(??) developing technologies that would become the basis for the modern Aircraft Carrier.

	Pup (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Pups, along with the Sopwith Triplane, were crucial to British aerial survival during the Battle of Arras in early 1917.
		The Pup was also used for naval experiments, including the first landings on the make-shift aircraft carrier "Furious." Commander E.H. Dunning made two successful landings on the short deck which had been built over the foc'sle.
		The Pup was one of the great aircraft of World War One, and there have been few equals to match its maneuverability and joy in handling, all in one package.

	Sopwith Camel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Sopwith Camel Scout was a British World War I single-seat fighter aircraft that was famous for its manoeuvrability.
		Intended as a replacement for the Sopwith Pup, the Sopwith Camel prototype first flew in December 1916.
		The strong gyroscopic effect of the rotary engine resulted in strange handling, and the Camel was notoriously difficult to fly in the hands of a novice (many were crashed due to mishandling on landing approach).

		The Pup, thought of by its pilots as the perfect flying machine, was used extensively by the Royal Naval Air Service and the Royal Flying Corps both at home and abroad.
		The first Pups reached the Western Front in the autumn of 1916 allowing the enthusiastic British pilots to maintain their hard won domination until mid-1917 when newer German aircraft redressed the balance.
		Much experimentation took place at sea with Pups, some were flown from tiny platforms built on gun-turrets of cruisers and on 2 August 1917 Sqn Cdr Dunning became the first man to land an aircraft on an aircraft carrier when he brought a Pup down on HMS Furious.

		Precursor to the famous Sopwith Camel fighter of World War I, the Sopwith Pup was a light, maneuverable airplane.
		It traveled at speeds of 185 kmh (115 mph) and was among the first planes to use the new aileron wing design.
		Ailerons are hinged flaps on the tips of wings used to turn, or bank, the plane.

		To my perspective, the Sopwiths would be better because it has a better speed, climb, and endurance than a Zeppelin, but still a Zeppelin is more powerful.
		A Sopwith Pup, which is smaller and lighter than a Sopwith Camel, could climb higher than any other single-seater plane throughout the war.
		A Sopwith Camel was the most successful British Fighter of the war and the most succesful combat aircraft.

	Sopwith Pup model airplane am317
		With 20% less wing span, it is not surprising that this airplane became regarded as a "pup" of the earlier aircraft.
		The Pup entered service with both the RAF and RNAS in 1916, and its reputation was quickly established, either as a gem to fly or a fighter to be avoided, according to whether one was an Allied or enemy pilot.
		The Sopwith Pup was powered by one 80-hp Le Rhone rotary piston engine, giving the airplane a maximum speed of 112 mph at sea level, service ceiling of 17,500 feet, and endurance of 3 hours.

		The nimble little Sopwith Pup, so important for the British airforce during the Great War, was the choice for the Japanese Navy when testing the concept of flying airplanes off ships in the early 1920:ies.
		The Pup was eventually replaced by the more modern Gloster Sparrowhawk and later the Mitsubishi Type 10 fighters and some other imported airplanes that were flown from the ramp before the aircraft carrier Hosho was finnished.
		The Pup's used by the Japanese Navy had their cloth covered wings and fuselage in a light tan color (clear dope) and the aluminum covered areas in a dark color.

		Regarded as being the most delightful aircraft to fly of any produced by the Allies, the Pup was considered by many to be the perfect flying machine, devoid of any vices.
		Even by the standards of 1916, the Pup was low-powered, but the light wing loading benefited the type with the ability to hold its height better than any other Allied or German aeroplane of the time and the powerful elevators rendered the machine fully-aerobatic up to 15,000 feet or so.
		Over 1300 Pups were built, many of which were still in service with training squadrons in 1918.

		The most successful Sopwith designs seemed fated to be remembered by their nicknames rather than by their official designations.
		This design is scarcely ever referred to as the Type 9901 or Sopwith Scout but mostly as the Pup; tradition has it that pilots suggested that its predecessor the 1½-Strutter had "pupped" and Pup it was thereafter.
		Pups began to enter operational service in the late summer of 1916.

	Sopwith Pup Prop
		This prop is marked for the Sopwith Scout, which was the official name for what everyone else called the Sopwith Pup.
		Introduced in 1916, it proved to be the most delightful pilots’ aircraft of the war and is primarily associated with the RNAS where it shot down twenty German aircraft in less than two months with No 8 Naval Squadron on its introduction in November 1916.
		The vast majority of pups were equipped with 80hp engines and the 100hp Gnome was only used in Home Defence squadrons, formed to counter the threat of bombing raids by Zeppelin airships and Gotha bombers, making this flown prop a very rare example.

		Pilots who flew faster, more famous, more sophisticated airplanes have been known to wax poetic discussing the tiny Sopwith Pup, some even claiming it was the most perfect flying machine ever made.
		Pups were test beds for all sorts of experimental engines and associated machinery, and were used to test skid landing gear, arrester mechanisms, and much of the early carrier landing and takeoff procedures and hardware.
		Pups continued in service in diminishing numbers for several years after the war, primarily with the Royal Navy.

		As a matter of fact, I initially set up the Pup with the included ABS cowl and had to recess the firewall after I had decided to use the aluminum cowl.
		The most challenging aspect of building the Sopwith Pup is the fabrication of the cabane struts and N-struts and the setup of the wings.
		I used a 7-channel Futaba radio (minimum 4-channel required) and five FMA servos in the Pup: three S35SMs for the ailerons and elevator and two S301s for the rudder and throttle.
