to, August 2020. One of our favorite moments. Seeing the Sopwith 1½ Strutter, built by the team at Kip Aero, take to the skies.

The week ends on a high note. The team at Kip Aero has successfully completed a set of Sopwith Pup axle spreaders. A small component with a vital job—helping the undercarriage absorb the forces of landing and keeping the aeroplane ready for many safe flights to come.

Craftsmanship matters, especially when history is meant to fly.

Preserving the past means teaching the future.

At Kip Aero, we believe that knowledge is one of the most important tools we can pass along. We’re creating a training video on how to build a Liberty V8/V12 Coil Brush Plate Assembly—documenting the skills, techniques, and craftsmanship that keep these historic aircraft components alive.

These are not just parts; they are pieces of aviation history. By sharing this knowledge with the next generation, we help ensure that the skills of yesterday continue to inspire the builders of tomorrow.

Passing down knowledge isn’t just part of what we do—it’s part of our DNA.

to September 2019.

One of the highlights of that year was seeing the Kip Aero Sopwith 1½ Strutter take to the skies. Watching it lift off and remain aloft so confidently was a proud moment and a true testament to the craftsmanship, dedication, and countless hours invested by the Kip Aero team.

As we focus on current aviation projects and future endeavors, it's always rewarding to look back at milestones like this one. Moments like these remind us why preserving aviation history—and bringing it back to life—is so worthwhile.

Although Sopwith Pups were built by several different manufacturers during the First World War, their wing structures remained remarkably consistent.
At Kip Aero, every rib is built using original drawings and traditional methods, preserving the craftsmanship that helped make early flight possible.

The foundation of every wing begins with the ribs.

Our team is hard at work crafting wing ribs for the Sopwith Pup, using traditional methods and careful attention to detail. It's a process that takes time, precision, and craftsmanship to get right.
