Silverlit's superb Sopwith Camel has already proven popular with X-Twin fans, capturing the nostalgia of a bygone age of aviation with this brilliant prefabricated classic biplane. The flying surfaces are made of lightweight laminated foam, with a single plastic propeller, spoked wheels and wing struts provided for added effect.

A simple but effective introduction to radio controlled model flight. Made to take moderate knocks care should be taken to avoid propeller when in use. Takes a little practice to extract the best and a fairly roomy area is needed until control is at a reasonable level of ability. Good fun and looks great in flight. Value for money considered excellent and provides hours of enjoyment.X-Twin Classic - Sopwith Camel (3 Colour Asst)

As the title says, Im more of an outdoor flying man so i tested it in a little bit of wind on an overcast turn sunny day yesterday. After testing the flights and applying a little weight to the front as it seems to rise nose up in the wind so i weighed it down a bit with some white tac and a little blob of white tac in the cockpit the re-tested the camel in the wind and applying only 50-65% throttle i managed to fly it horizontal and make the ol' bird soar in the bright blue sky. The top wing fell off after countless nose dives into the ground so i just taped the top wing in the middle of the struts which gives it a bit more strength It was in the air for a good 4-6 minutes before letting go of the throttle and seeing it glide down on to the soft october grass. Unfotunately it has war wounds and was unable to fly after more flights but i hope to repair it with some tape and get her back in the sky once again. I cant wait to see what it can produce indoors, It really is a great plane and a good looking model aswel with ATD (Attention to Detail). Hope this review helps others in deciding wether or not to buy this excellent little RC Sopwtih Camel from silverlit.
