Harvey Cleveland flew our Airdrome Tabloid for the first time on June 23, 2012. We are thrilled.

This aircraft is the prototype for an Airdrome Aeroplanes Kit. It is a two seat side by side replica of one of the earliest Sopwith aircraft.

It weighs (empty) 791 pounds and has a wingspan of 26 feet. It is powered with a 115HP 2332cc Valley Engineering, LLC VW with a 2.47:1 Reduction drive. The propeller is 90x66 made by Culver.

Our plane is painted to represent a SS3 Tabloid flown by the Royal Naval Air Service in 1915.
