  • 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.

  • Electric Start??? Blasphemy!!

  • 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.

  • Omg i want to fly in that one! o.O

  • The fatso was also mentioned. I mean Goering.

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

  • @rumtorun you go turn that prop by hand go ahead I dare ya

  • FOK-AH not FOWKUH

  • Beautiful plane

  • Dayum!

  • climbing like a lift ¡¡
