He was shot down during chasing a British fighter at low altitude at the enemy artillery, he mistakenly did that instead of leaving the pursuit but he wasn't shot down by another fighter
That's one giant Fokker dr1 triplane looks like a real one I saw it at wings and wheels north Weald airfield 2017 Sunday great very short takeoff and slow flying great landing
Good gravy, that was the most incredible take off I have ever seen outside of a helicopter. Beautifully crafted airplane and excellent flying skills.👍👍👍
Maybe make a 1/1 Fokker Dr1 with some carbon fiber and titanium and other advanced materiels to make it even lighter, other advancements in fabric covering and a modern rotary with a much higher power-to-weight ratio, and it might approach the performance of this model
Brilliant!!! It would be fun to see two RC pilots put on a duel. Celebrated and associated with Von Richthofen, only 19 of his 80 kills were made in the Fokker Dr.I. The majority came while flying the Albatros C II. (He also scored kills in a Halberstadt D.II) His first red plane was the Albatros. The first Fokker's had engineering problems in the wings. He switched back to the Albatros till the Fokker showed better. Von Richthofen helped refine the Fokker (v. D. VII) but never flew it in combat being killed by either ground fire or during air combat.
Amazing workmanship and piloting skills. I therefore believe the prop is exactly what the builder wanted -and it obviously performs very well- it just appears a little small in comparison to the rest of the plane. The little prop that could and did?
Fantastic model! And I really like the blue & white color scheme instead of the over used red paint job of Richtoven's. Also, amazing take off, and piloting!
Great flight, didn't cross my mind that type of model was capable of that type of flying! Lots of stress on that airframe eh! Very impressive 🤔👍 Love it.
I love that you chose the less done but still authentic blue bird scheme it is far prettier and sets the bird apart from the gazillions of red dridekers out there - stunning work, great airmanship, very inspired
I'm not sure it was a full plane length after the tail lifted from the ground until the main gear was in the air. Even the landing run was super short, I'd guess that at 30 - 50 feet
@@keithmoriyama5421 ahh i see keith. They are called a two bladed prop and the reason it doesent have more blades is because the engine cannot produce enough power to turn a three or four bladed prop efficiently. Therefore the two bladed prop is the best for the power output of this engine for dogfighting i guess 👍 hope this helps
It would have been nice to see the flight from a cockpit view. It's big 'un, so a tail or pilots view go-pro would added to the filming. Great model...nice one!
I think I have not overestimated it ... if we take into account that it moves approximately one meter before giving gas to the bottom and the route before taking off the wheels of the grass is approximately the length of the fuselage and maybe a little more gives result. that takes off in about 6 meters or so ... maybe even less .... I have analyzed the video, taken points of reference and calculated based on the two people that appear next to the plane giving them an average of 1.70m in height which gives me approximately that distance, and possibly I am wrong but for very little .. ... I even dare to say that between 5 and 6 meters! ;-)
can be two people of 1.5m height only, or 1.80m, I do not know ... but if you let me really adjust the feeling is between 4m and 5m maximum .... Reviewing the video and especially the scene in low motion I have verified that effectively, it takes off in the almost exact distance of its own fuselage taking into account the exact point since it accelerates until it takes off the wheels, that is to say, it takes off in approximately 5 or 5 , 5m walk up foot down .... ;-D
There must become a time when limits are put on the size of models,this is damn near the size of a real aircraft and it's about time it was set a limit.
Gordon Bennet ! I thought there was a pilot in it at the beginning ! The take off and landing was nearly VTOL! It must be extremely light construction to do that . Did he do a spin towards the end ? I read of an American copy of the Red Barons aircraft. Where the pilot was warned not to attempt a spin , if he did do a spin it came out very easily .
Nice build and piloting... Only downside to me ever building this size is it would be to tempting for me to jump in and try to ride!
There's really only one word for this aeroplane build. Fantastic.
Incredible. I wonder how the power/weight ratio compares to the real one?
If the Baron could do those maneuvers , I don't think he would be shot down. Very cool stuff guys. Outstanding triplane and flying of it.
He was shot down during chasing a British fighter at low altitude at the enemy artillery, he mistakenly did that instead of leaving the pursuit but he wasn't shot down by another fighter
wow, a fabulous aircraft. I expected the prop would be too small for the size and weight of the aircraft, but it seems to fly fine with what it has.
That's one giant Fokker dr1 triplane looks like a real one I saw it at wings and wheels north Weald airfield 2017 Sunday great very short takeoff and slow flying great landing
Good gravy, that was the most incredible take off I have ever seen outside of a helicopter. Beautifully crafted airplane and excellent flying skills.👍👍👍
What an effort to build such a great beauty not to mention the one and only engine in the world...
Wow, what was that, like a whopping 7 feet till it left the ground? Incredible!
What a beautiful plane!!! Being a 65% scale, it's tempting to put in a kid there and give him a joyride. Outstanding takeoff. Just like a helicopter!!
holy crapp its beautiful.. How does it fly with that tiny prop ??
How many cc has the motor please ???
What a big model !!
Awesome !
all info in the video description dom
Man, if the Red Baron had THAT thing full-scale, LOOK OUT! Looked like a real joy to fly. Cool
Maybe make a 1/1 Fokker Dr1 with some carbon fiber and titanium and other advanced materiels to make it even lighter, other advancements in fabric covering and a modern rotary with a much higher power-to-weight ratio, and it might approach the performance of this model
Beautiful airplane and some great piloting; Well done!
Stunning! This aircraft acts like it was the precursor to the modern VTOL. Excellent flying skills!

At that scale it is a whole different hobby. Amazing!
How big does a Model Airplane need to be before falling under FAA Regulations ??
Fantastic model! And I really like the blue & white color scheme instead of the over used red paint job of Richtoven's. Also, amazing take off, and piloting!
Thank you very much cal
That is the plane of Leutnant Raben of Jasta 18
Großartiges Modell. Sehr gut gemacht. Kompliment für die Erbauer. 😗😘
vielen Dank
Beautiful plane and flying ....... :)
AND at "Scale speed"! :)
Great flight, didn't cross my mind that type of model was capable of that type of flying! Lots of stress on that airframe eh!
Very impressive 🤔👍
Love it.
There's so much drag on the airframe plus all that lift, I doubt there is any time for stress. The original had a minimum of bracing wires
the DR1 was and is noted for it's abilities in the short take off and in climbing...
WOW what a beauty! Manfred would love it!
Wow! Very spectacular airshow!!!!
thanks rossi
AWESOME BEAUTY! FANTASTIC JOB ON EVERYTHING. How much did the MOTOR COST?
all info in video description lance, no idea how much it cost !
That was very impressive. Great plane. Great pilot
thanks bobby
At 1:33, did I see one elevator up and the other down?
yes you did neil, it matches the aileron so that the model rolls quicker !
All that work and you get to the flying field to hear the priceless line "it's a big fokker"
'stall' ... what is that ?? :-)
Excellent airplane and video. Remarkable. So responsive.
Dave
I came and I looked.. and fell in love.
Why did it seem like the motor was ready to stall out the whole flight? What kind of motor is it?
I love that you chose the less done but still authentic blue bird scheme it is far prettier and sets the bird apart from the gazillions of red dridekers out there - stunning work, great airmanship, very inspired
I think the Dr1's qualify as vierdeckers as that short wing between the wheels certainly adds some extra lift
Awesome video as always. Amazing airplane, amazing flying. Good Show!
Glad you enjoyed it
That it's cool! That is HUGE! That is cool! Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
thanks steven
Hi I enjoyed the video. Do you have a link for the engine build or links to pictures of the engine.
what a bird ! gave me goose bumps with that landing , very nice
Shortest take off ever _and_ shortest landing ever. Impressive -little- big RC triplane there.
It flies like my indoor foamy! How much does it weigh?
Adding more wing's create better lift but how fare apart does the wings need to be at ??
no idea john
Good paint design.
Beautiful Triplane!
thanks cool
das flugzeug und seine erbauer haben den himmel durchgespielt. expert level!
That was some amazing flying . All I can say is wow
That plane took off on propblast and headwind.
I would give anything i have to be in a real plane like that...well a kids dream...
Great plane.... Great pilot
I grew up on .049 nitro and u-control. Seeing this thing land while a turbine spools up in the background really makes me feel old XD
same here capta
........... Loved it ....!
thanks ormus
so it seems the advantage of a tri plane is short take offs? I knew they were more maneuverable at slow speeds
I wish they would include video from a plane cam . i wish I had a real tri plane to fly .
Great flying
The Fokker Tri-Plane was so maneuverable, it spun around in mid flight to bring it's guns to bear on it's enemies following it.
V.T.O.L (Verily - Triplane : Obtains - _Levitation_ ) *_R > G_*
Oh .......... My .............God!!!! I want this plane. Where is it parked at night? What is the security like?
Awesome flying skills Grejt plane
very nice plane...and great flying...with this rather smallish propeller.
That is really cool!!!
i'm wondering if it has enough power?
are you serious ? check out 3:25 to 3:32 - what do you see ? obviously joking
Awesome doesn't even describe it
Runway? We don't need no stinking runway.. hold my beer.
Awesome Vidd.. Awesome build to.. 💗💗💪💪🔥🔥
It would be interesting if the held the wing tips at full power and then released it. what a drone.
Nice tri wing
THAT WAS UNREAL!!!
Do you do kiddy rides?!
(edit hit any one with that and they are a gonna........)
What a beast👍✈️✈️😊
65%? What stoped you to go 95%
The same thing that stopped him from going 100%.
Woah, looks like the Timber's got some competition!
LOL
Amazing!!!!!
that poor kid in the driver seat, would have got dizi with all that acrobatic flying, ha ha
That propeller is tiny for the side of airplane!
Lots of lift there, very cool!
that engine and prop size were disapointing lol
I love the floater planes...
6:20 - great tip vortex footage!
Might as well build a full size one, incredible piloting though.
What was that, about a 10 - 15 foot takeoff roll?
Less than 100 feet for sure.
I'm not sure it was a full plane length after the tail lifted from the ground until the main gear was in the air. Even the landing run was super short, I'd guess that at 30 - 50 feet
Ashley Harris -You don't judge distances very well, do you? However, you are one beautiful blonde.
It's a carrier-capable WW1 fighter :)
beautiful
65% scale - stunning. At what point does it qualify as a plane and not a model? When someone is sat inside doing the flying?
Why do WW1 planes only use a double sided prop?
whats a "double sided prop" mean keith ?
@@tbobborap1 I was referring to a single prop with each end generating force-- like a kayak paddle as opposed a triple or quadruple blade.
@@keithmoriyama5421 ahh i see keith. They are called a two bladed prop and the reason it doesent have more blades is because the engine cannot produce enough power to turn a three or four bladed prop efficiently. Therefore the two bladed prop is the best for the power output of this engine for dogfighting i guess 👍 hope this helps
Sweet landing!
the prop is way way to small for engine cowl. , motor is screaming its guts out
Lily Hughes - on RC planes the props necessarily are smaller in proportion. Can't recall what the exact explanation is, however.
ruclips.net/video/y_dJfq8u1aE/видео.html is the sort of thing Lily might mean.
How can it even fly with such a small propeller. It barely clears the fuselage. Most of the power just hits the nose and would deflect sideways.
I feel you might as well build a full size replica and take ppl up for rides.
It would have been nice to see the flight from a cockpit view. It's big 'un, so a tail or pilots view go-pro would added to the filming. Great model...nice one!
What a pilot!!
Fantastic Big XXXL Triple‼️
Espectacular‼️🙏👌👍
many thanks jose
José I
Gavin Waite 👋 Gavin
Thats a bloody big fokker
Pretty cool plane.
It would be cool to have this model!!! Awesome stuff!!!
thanks harald
WOW!!!! Takeoff in 6/7 meters!!!!! is "Fun-tas-tic" Fokker ;-)
thats a large over-estimation

right, 2 to 3 meters. 3.1m maximum
Mike Schmitt sorry but no... 5 aprox.... Large of plane... If the plane is 5,77m this is a distance...
Dude. seriously. make it just a little bit bigger than you can actually fly in it yourself!
I think he'd need a bigger prop! XD
Yeah, several kits for biplanes and triplanes from WWI are 75% or 80% for actual flight using “modern” engines, this in 65% seemed like a tease...

spins not a problem pete, check them out here in these videos - ruclips.net/video/go_rSpJIc3g/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/rq2oYxfbDgU/видео.html
great model, but it MUST be in red!
Why does it have to be red? Why not in the colors of fritz kempf's triplane?
RC Menzinger Agrar&Bau yes
Because he likes red !.......lol
I LIKE the blue
Blue Max.
I’ve seen smaller ultralights.
