Sopwith Pup
I have started the construction of a Sopwith Pup from Sopwith plans.
I would like to get in touch with other builders and also to contact operators of the Rotec R3600.

Jim you are very lucky to have a set of plans. I believe BAe no longer allow them to be sold due to liability problems. I helped on the Shuttleworth Pup when we took some of the Sopwith Snipe parts (tail unit) off he aircraft and made new Pup parts. It is most intersting that no drawings have the title Sopwith Pup on them except the three view which was redrawn long after the first world war.
An official statement was issued during WW1 that the Sopwith Scout should not be refered to as the Sopwith Pup. This official rebuke guaranteed that it would forever be called the Pup!!
Good luck
