Fokker DR.1 superbe !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Have you guys considered putting a set of propane firing 'movie guns' on it? The sound of gunfire coupled with that rotary would be pure airplane prOn!
-
where did you get the plans for the plane.
-
Hear him spike that tail skid? The DR.1 is a ground looping bastard. Beautiful replica!! Many thanks!
-
very nice!!

Great video of a beautiful aircraft. Looks tricky to fly with that radial.

Fokker Triplane Streaky Camouflageby dogtail22,001 views
I made a set of brakes for a Fokker Triplane, machined the hubs from solid aluminium, used motorbike drum brakes for the moving parts and the liners. Operated by the pilot independently they made the maneuvering so much easier when the tail was on the ground. All hidden inside the canvas so the wheels looked standard, only thing different were the cables that were hidden as best as they could be. Nice planes, keep them flying.

@max866271 Nice addition. We are strongly committed to authenticity, but your modification would be very practical. We have recently modified ours to include a steerable tail skid which also cannot be seen externally. It seems to help.

Difficulties with the rotary engine only show up in extreme turning maneuvers. In ordinary flying, the all-flying rudder and no vertical stabilizer is a bigger problem. It tends it wander about skidding right and left with no sense of direction. This makes landings a big problem where the slightest skid will throw it into a destructive ground loop. The engine is an actual LeRhone rotary, built in 1917, not a modern radial engine as seen in most Fokker Dr.1 reproductions.
