Original engine was the Hispano-Suiza 8, water cooled at 150 hp (112 kW). The S.E.5a you are reviewing had an upgraded 200hp (149 kv) 8b version of the engine.
Eventually the Hispano Suiza HS-8 "Wolseley Viper" replaced the 8b (also 200 hp) which was more reliable.

Have been flying this one since Christmas and it remains one of my firm favourites. Love the elastic guy wire idea. I went with the stock wire setup and it definitely added 2 or 3 hours to the build.
This plane is one of the best for learning touch and go's. The undercarraige is VERY resilient and the wheel diameter makes it suitable for most fields.

I watch all your "FLITETESTS " and like them .However I would like to remind you that not all your fans have English as their mother tongue.Your fans are from all over the world and some of us speak and understand a limited amount of English .So please speak as simply and slowly as possible.

I know the youtube translation tool is completely useless when translating to english, is that true for other languages?
