Building the Sopwith pup

I thought some of you might like this.

I'm thinking the Dr1 triplane they offer will be a project coming up for me in the next couple of years.

Wow, nice video.  On a side note, that guy is killing himself using PolyFiber without protection.  The carrier in that mix is MEK, a highly cancerous solvent.
I regret doing business with TD Computer Systems.

Cool!  Thanks for posting.   :aok

And, Bodhi, thanks very much for posting about the PolyFiber.  Great to see safety tips from a pro.   :salute

Bodhi we were warned about the dangers of MEK when I was in the Army working on aircraft.. In fact I think anything containing it was banned but I'm not sure if I remember that correctly.

I'm kind of shocked because I'm seeing other videos where they are working with the same substance, it's Highly Cacinogenic , no gloves, no mask no protection.

and looking up Polyfiber they absolutely list it on their page, I'm sure it's on the container.

Wild they aren't using protection. I'm guessing it's just slipped by.

and as a side note:

Rotec is still making Radial engines so that's always a possibility if you don't want to custom build a VW one.
I thought that was pretty sweet too.

We use MEK from time to time cleaning metals.

The only place MEK is dangerous is in Kalifornia. Just don't drink it. Wear gloves sagety glasses a good idea.
