Clive was trimming his brand new Sopwith Camel (seen above at the evening judging), a 22 inch span version based on the old Peerless plan. The really innovative thing about this model was use of a very short peg to hook distance, with a heavily braided long motor. The fuselage in the Camel is so wide that if you use a loose sleeve over the rear peg, bunching at the rear is just not an issue. The rear peg is actually positioned in front of the trailing edge of the lower wing, so that you can change the rubber motor size without upsetting the centre of gravity. If you thought a short nosed subject such as a Camel would have limited potential as a rubber powered subject, just have a look at the trimming flight here (file size 5.8 MB). Later in the week I timed this model on a 130 second flight into the potatoes!
