Peanut Scale / Sopwith Triplane
Last post by pb_guy - Aug 16, 2026, 02:46 AM
  I recently finished cleaning up a plan for a Sopwith Tripe designed by C.A. Kukuvich and published in the July 1945 issue of Model Airplane News. The plan is actually 0.3 inch larger than the standard 13" W/S because it was drawn to 1/2" to the foot in scale. If the plan is printed out at 97%, then it falls just under 13" W/S. The side view is of his model, as published.

  I decided to go with laminated wing tips and rudder outline - 1/32 x 1/16". Forms are thin cardboard with the outer edges sealed with candle wax. Half done now, half yet to go. I cut out the LE and TE parts. Now for all of those ribs!

Thanks for posting the link George. I have been periodically checking it for this report. It does not disapoint.
