Well, I had to order some instructions for the 1/3 pup and some other planes as I can't read the old style of instructions saying 3/4 attaches to the 5/8's blah blah... to my suprise they included the 2014 catalog and it's great!  Bigger bonus, they have a Sopwith Camel F1 listed in the 1/4 scale planes.  I have the smaller H9 version, but a 1/4 scale would be great at 88" WS.  They said it has a light wing loading, so it should fly like a dream.  Better make some room on the bench.  But we have to wait as the release date is not finalized and they are estimating Jan-Feb.  :-\
