UP AND RUNNING

[cobrachoppergirl]

Builders, more of these, less SE 5a's and Dr 1s.... we're sick to death of SE 5a's, Nieuports, and Dr1s

[Cool2BCeltic]

@cobrachoppergirl According to the makers of that awful film Flyboys, the German Air Force in WW1 was entirely equipped with Dr1's.

You should read the articles published in Over The Front and Cross & Cockade by Hanns-Gerd Rabe, who was an observer/gunner on one of these. In here you say that the ailerons and rudder are ineffective... reading the real experiences of those who flew it or in it... it gives you a different impression. His pilot, on several occasions had their LVG C.VI down low evading S.E.5as, etc. and the pilot had the wings near vertical. They also attacked an observation balloon and troops with it.

@cobrachoppergirl i just got into these planes, do they over do those planes?

cobrachoppagirl - Where have you been where there is so many SE5s, Nieuports, and DR1s

that you are sick of them? Sounds like my kind of place.

No I'm afraid it's not. It had been on loan to the Shuttleworth collection since 1966, and it was they who restored it to fly. Unfortunately a few years ago it's owners, the RAF Museum decided they wanted it back and its now at Cosford.

When it was flying it was the only genuine German WW1 two seater airworthy anywhere. I understand however that it was not a very easy aeroplane to fly with rather heavy ailerons and a rudder that's not particularly effective. But what a beautiful aeroplane.
