By Bruce Balough on Monday, June 01, 2015 - 03:26 pm:Time for the airshow and car show season. Here is my 26 Tudor with a Sopwith Tri-plane a few years ago. The fun of the plane is when I get to start it. That means I get to hand-prop it. It's not as easy as doing it with a Taylorcraft or J-3 cub. When it starts it's at full throttle !(It's safer to crank start a T !)
By Bill Harper - Keene, NH on Monday, June 01, 2015 - 03:33 pm:Hi Bruce,
Does the Sopwith have a Le Rhone?
By Bruce Balough on Monday, June 01, 2015 - 03:41 pm:Yes, 90 hp.
By Tim Eckensviller - Thunder Bay, ON on Monday, June 01, 2015 - 05:44 pm:Very cool that you get to be around a working LeRhone. "Anything rotary powered" is definitely near the top of my bucket list of airplanes to fly.
By Gustaf in Idaho on Thursday, June 04, 2015 - 12:21 pm:If it has a Le Rhone, then it should have a live Vickers as well
By Gary H. White - Sheridan, MI on Friday, June 05, 2015 - 03:09 pm:Rat-a-tat-tat.
By Warwick Landy Traralgon Australia on Friday, June 05, 2015 - 07:56 pm:Lost a wing, went from Tri-plane to Bi-plane but a flight in these beautiful old Tiger Moths finished what was a memorable days touring in in two 1916 T's.
