I've only seen a couple of photos of that particular Camel but it caught my eye. It seems like the few colorful Camels were either RNAF or trainers.
 The N-17 was my first 1/4 scale plane and it's getting on toward 15 years old. It definitely climbs like a homesick angel at full power even though the Homelite isn't the most powerful engine in the world. 2/3ds throttle is its happy place. It isn't as maneuverable  as the Camel but it will still toss around. It's not as accurately to scale as some of their other airplanes but I would certainly put the N17 up there as a good first large scale biplane.

I will admit I did more evasive flying maneuvers with my N11 than any of the others, heck I even did some death spins.. I think I have a few on youtube with the camera on board as it spins down.. Lots of loops and rolls.

My N11 flies well but definitely not as floaty as the other BUSA 1/4 planes. The n17 is a great looking plane .. I wish they would fly well with a tiny scale bottom wing...
