Hi all!

As few words as possible - real world weather for Omaka, flying my trusty Sopwith Pup replica ZK-ZYP on a short jaunt into the Maxwell Sector. Almost swerving into the vineyards on my takeoff run shoulda persuaded me to stay down, but upstairs it was great! Twenty minutes of rather nice flying around our beautiful province....c'est magnifique!

































Enjoy!

Great shots Zac - What model is that? - I am getting strong signals that you are constructing a real life full size replica Pup in Omaka? winkyy.gif

Cheers Paul! Yeah, I absolutely love flying this baby! She's by Stephen O'Leary - search for "Sopwith" on FlightSim.com and you'll find her, the paint scheme on 'ZYP is one of my creations though. Quite similar to the stock, factory-delivered machines though. Using a PZL Wilga sound file you get a pretty close approximation of the real thing.

In response to this comment, consider this image of 'ZYP, paying close attention to the vertical tail:



Added to this the sawdust on my jersey, jeans and hat, and I think you'll make your own conclusions......I can neither confirm nor deny..... drool.gif

Nothing beats a low and slow flight- especially around the peacefull surroundings of Omaka.

When I heard you were building a cub, I thought you were talking about a Piper Cub laugh.gif lol
