Sopwith Camel almost a ground loop

[niksarass]

0:22 He has full rudder to the left and applies a big bump of blip switch (to get a torque effect inpulse)

So it was totally made on purpose.

This old rhinebeck aerodrome has amazing stuff by the way

I was there this summer... They told me they still run the Camel's engine, but don't fly her anymore due to safety concerns...

Blipping the magneto to control the throttle. That's awesome.

[bennyboy391]

[straighttailpilot]

I'm not sure about all of the planes there being original WW I aircraft but the engines are all era correct.

[89fenderp]

No original WW I aircraft flying there but the engines are era correct.

ROTARY !

scary

It's not a real Camel. It is a metal tube replic.

[CarreraGTSCS]

Still pretty cool. Are there any original WWI aircraft still flying at Rhinbeck? There were when I first started going about 25 years ago.

[paullubliner]

@carbidegrd Why do you say metal tube? Sounds like you're describing one of those aluminum lawn furniture 7/8 Nieuports. Gene D'Marco told me to go with square section steel tubes in the fuse only because of the rotaries spewing of oil. Soaks in you understand.

Safe!

Gotta hold that stick back! Watch at 0:23, stick goes forward, ground loop starts!

[lrdiscoveryII]
