Started work on my sop camel facelift.
First week was spent drawing and making templates. They are crude and untested and incomplete without the turtle deck but I'll post them anyway. The model uses most of the wing parts from the se5 & landing gear parts from the dr1. My next post will have assembly photos.

I know nothing!
Impressive! That's some precision design and execution. The locking former on the nose is particularly slick. I am very much looking forward to further updates! :D

Thanks I'm trying to get this in the asap. Would be awesome to know others were flying it too.

That's for the great feedback. I'm trying to make the camel go together as much as the se5 & dr1 but I'll fill you all in on any special build info especially when it comes to the cowl.
