      For a while, I was fascinated by WW 1 airplanes. I thought It was pretty cool when they managed to synchronize the machine gun with the propellor so they did not shoot it off during the flight.

          Did you note in the video that Sopwith used a variation of the German system, but then switched to a better hydraulic system?
