@memorialflight ya I was really surprised at how quick it took off, and how fast it reached flight speed.
-
they should make a few exact repilcas of the engine so more could be flying around

@schlusselmensch an airfield in a Mustang on a day when he had decided that price was no object and the difference in how fast that P-51 ate up the runway and then rolled out of sight was quite bloody amazing and I am not easily amazed. Lovely video you've posted and thanks for the reply.

Well, the tail lifting quickly is more a function of undercart placement but you are right, the engines were quite powerful. The horses used in the ratings of the day must have been draft horses. In period films (which would have been propagandistic) takeoffs are much more energetic but I imagine they had the chocks away at full chat and took off into a good breeze. Second world war aircraft are usually limited to save engine and money but I remember looking down on Stephen Grey beating up ....

Very smooth driver you've got there.

And that's a rare BMW engined Fokker DVII. The Best of the Best.

Do you chaps restrict power on takeoff in consideration of the engine's rarity? Seems to me that the aircraft should have a bit more hop given the rated horsepower and aircraft weight? Or was it just a hot, no wind day?

@schlusselmensch The engine isn't pushed to its maximum limit, in order to take care of the engine (This is the only BMW IIIa running in the world). The throttle is probably not pushed as fast as it would have been in 1918, as well.
However, this aircraft is still very powerful (see how quick the tail lifts) and fast to take off.
