BALSA USA 1/3 Sopwith pup . Question about instructions
Good day all;
I am planning on buying the Sopwith pup 1/3 kit from Balsa USA.
I would like to know about the instructions that they supply.
I have built a few ARF's, and Top Flites giant scale Corsair and Warhawk. I have heard that Balsa USA's instructions are only a
few text only pages.
I feel that I need better instuctins than that.
Any info would be helpful.
Thank you.
Todd

Todd;
I am putting the finishing touches on my 1/3 Pup now. The instructions at times are not too clear. You have to do a lot of engineering on your own. All of the servo placement, pull-pull systems, pushrods , engine configuration and attachment are strictly up to your own devices. There are 2 or three pages of pictures of the finished product but they are not like a Sig or Goldberg construction manual. Like Ron said, the people that have built this Pup will be glad to help you thru the tough parts.

Bluther is right.
I'm building the Balsa USA 1/3 Pup from the plans alone. I have to cut all wood including the ribs whilst maintaining the wing's camber. What a job! I can employ my own stupid way of doing things and not try to make another's idea work. I'm rather glad I don't have the instruction booklet. Looking at my progress now, the instruction booklet would turn more to be a 'restriction' booklet. I'll let yous know in about six months how my Pup turned out.
