Definitely not full-size and has a modern starter since nobody had to crank the propeller. It's still a beautiful thing to see. The finish on the cowl is beautiful, jouilled like the real thing.
@bicyclemonkey I forgot I'd posted on this vid. I think you're right. I read somewhere on the internet (after a bit research after watching this vid) that you can buy and build 3/4 scale home build kits of this plane. I'm sure it was an American company, pretty sure they do the Neiuport(sp?) in 3/4 scale too, although i might be wrong.
Is this machine Far 103 legal? I would think either the weight or stall may be high. If it is it is even more interesting to me! Great job on the video, thanks!
Dave, his dad Dick and various helpers took about a year of almost full time commitment to complete the project. It has very good small field capability but it needs a pilot with good judgement. It is fitted with disc brakes which helps if used with care! They have also built a 7/8 size Mustang Fighter and are building an RV8.

Beautiful plane, although didn't the original E111's use wing flex instead of ailerons?

Does the mounted gun, dont shoot the propeller to pieces?

@Frederik19951995 nope, the Germans invented a synchronized gear system which meant the machine gun could only fire between the propeller.

Thats fantastic. I'm not being rude, but is it full scale?

@bankslord I don't think that's full scale. According to wiki, the Eindecker had a 31 ft. wingspan and a height of 7 ft-9 in.

awesome! How long did it take to build? Looks like 200 foot landing and take off roll!
