The Sopwith Camel, like the Sopwith Pup was designed in 1916. The main difference being that the Sopwith Camel was the first British plane to be fitted with two fixed synchronised forward Vickers machine guns. It started front line duties in the summer of 1917 and was the perfect design for shooting the enemy below. The guns were fixed pointing down through the floor of the fuselage so it could fire at the enemy in the trenches below as well as continuing flying fast and level.
The Sopwith Camel was agile and had a good rate of climb and so the RNAS ordered large quantities. However, it was not popular amongst pilots as it was difficult to fly and could spin out of control when trying to manoeuvre fast.
It had a maximum speed of 115 mph, a maximum height of 19,000 ft and could fly for up to two and a half hours.
Consider that you are purchasing a fragile high tech product that may be installed on your rooftop and should be be able to withstand roasting sun as well as wind, hail and heavy snow loads. Choose the right mounting system. Medium duty is good, heavy duty is better. The best solar panels are useless when blown down the roof and crashed on the ground. www.zonnepanelen-soloya.nl
