Description

The Sopwith Pup COMPLETE Kit contains all wood, metal fittings, and hardware to build the fuselage, wing, tail, undercarriage, control, strut, cowl, fuel & oil, and windscreen for an authentic Sopwith Pup. In addition, KipAero includes a set of Replicraft Sopwith Pup drawings. This single-seat fighter will take approximately 1,800 hours to assemble.

This kit does not include the engine, propeller, covering, flying wires or instrumentation due to owner preference.

This Kit contains the following sub-components and is made-to-order. Although we inventory metal fittings for these kits, kit components will not be fabricated until receipt of your order and deposit. Please allow 8-12 months based on production backlog and raw material availability.

  • Control Kit contains pulleys, cables, fairleads, joystick, rudder pedal bar, air brake controls, pilot’s seat, and necessary hardware for single pilot configuration.
  • Fuselage Kit contains all wood & metal components, bracing wire, turnbuckles, and hardware to build a complete fuselage structure based on the original Sopwith drawings. Full scale, no welding required.
