... Sopwith Pup - Interesting copper manifolds. WWI vintage - Le Rhône Rotary Engine - For most of the World War One, rotary engines like the Le Rhone were the lightest available for a given horsepower. An improved version of the Gnome rotary, the Le Rhone featured nine cylinders rotating around a fixed two-piece crankshaft. Its costly design used nickel and special alloy steel cylinders around pressed-in cast iron liners, with copper inlet manifolds and intake/exhaust valves driven by a single pivoted rocker arm. With no carburetor or throttle, it was normally run wide open. To vary the speed, the ignition was intermittently cut via a "blip switch" on the control column.

"Holy, holy, holy is the lord God Almighty - the one who always was, who is, and who is still to come."
i love the contrast in colors and textures here.. the wooden propeller, glossy like its new, against that steel and copper gives such great contrast.. the detail is excellent as well.. great job Rob..

Don't cram everyday so full you can't enjoy the journey!
A great shot of a piece of aircraft history, with a very helpful description.

"Then as it was,
Then again it will be.
An' though the course may change sometimes,
Rivers always reach the sea."
They still fly wooden props at the aerobatic school behind my house and this is a super clean beauty.

I really love the color contrast between the warmth of the prop and the cool steal. Great Pic.
