This aircraft is a very well done replica of the original Sopwith Pup. Here's a Sopwith Pup Youtube video of a replica landing. The engine sounds more radial than rotary. Another Youtube Sopwith Pup video shows a replica Sopwith Pup along with other WWI Biplane replicas at an airshow. This also sounds like a radial engined Pup.
