New Arrival S30 1.2M Sopwith Camel Balsawood KIT

When the fighter became an independent aircraft type, various evaluations of it were sharply opposed, some regarded it as an angel, and some regarded it as a demon. Camel is such a fighter. Some pilots thought it was the best single-seater fighter during World War I, while some pilots thought it was simply a killer, a partner who wanted you to see God more than your opponent.
It shot down 2,790 opponents, and it was the fighter that shot down the largest number of enemy aircraft among all countries participating in the war. This is an aircraft that is not "docile" at all. It is extremely sensitive. It is a sword in the hands of top pilots, but it is almost equivalent to a suicide machine for novices. No one can match its turning characteristics, but if it turns too fast, it will enter a spiral, which is inevitable for an extremely agile fighter.
Its hump gives it the nickname of camel, which is not an official code name, but it is most well-known and recognized by the public. It was first delivered to the Royal Navy Air Force, and soon after that it was delivered to the Royal Air Force. The number of orders received reached 5597, and 5490 were finally delivered. The reason why all the deliveries were not delivered was because the war was over.
Usually the design of balsa models does not choose a small wingspan, which means that the designer needs to pack a complex structure into a limited space. This is a challenge, and the S30 has completed this challenge. When you assemble, you will feel the ingenuity of the design. DW Hobby kept the appearance of the original model on this 1.2M camel (product code S30) as much as possible. After consulting a lot of historical data, we grasped every detail and let it show, which makes it more Realistic structure.
Under normal circumstances, we will optimize the flight effect to make it more stable or more interesting. But for this S30, we did not optimize the flight effect in order to keep as close to the real feeling as possible. This may not be friendly to novices.
