Well, I can see it is not the real engine. The real thing has the whole engine spinning. This plane has a modern engine that is fixed in place and just the propeller spins. Not to mention the electric start that an old plane wouldn't have.
I can't blame them. Getting or making a rotary engine like that is probably the single most expensive thing on the plane, and even then it would be very dangerous and unreliable.
I would want a modern engine too.

Oswald Boelke never flew the DR1, He died way before the DR1 was designed. I believe he died in an Albatross

climbing like a lift ¡¡
Holy smokes did you see that climb right off the runway. I have never seen a pilot of a WW1 replica put a plane into such a ballsy climb. And he actually does a slip with the big ass rudder.
