I just showed this to my 91 year old grandfather, he loved it! He grew up in the 20s and 30s reading about First World War fighter aces and would watch the occasional barnstormer come by a local air field near his house. He built model planes and kites as a hobby. He wanted to join the US Air Corps in the Second World War but was colorblind so he ended up in the infantry. He still ended up taking flying lessons after the war and built RC planes with his son later on. This video is amazing and he really enjoyed it! Bravo!
I clicked on this video because of the Fokker DR.1, and was amazed by it's size, and by the skill displayed by its pilot. I was equally amazed by the absolutely picturesque landscape that this flying field is located in! Absolutely gorgeous!
Beautiful aircraft and great flying skills. Dude hung it on the prop a couple of times, sideways down the runway and stalled in a giant u-turn. Got faith in that motor, that's for sure. Very nice to watch.
Nothing against the pilot at all but; the size of the wings and tail rudder effect the amount of turn you can inflict on the plane. It flys so slow that the wing surfaces just push the plane around. Very beautiful to watch.
Danke für das tolle Video, nicht jeder hat die Gelegenheit sich solche Veranstaltungen live an zu schauen. Eine tolle Maschine und eine noch exellenterer Pilot, der den Titel World Champion zu recht tragen darf. Die Flugmanöver sollte man aber nicht unbedingt dem Flugzeug zuschreiben, den solche Kunststücke gelingen dem Herrn Gernot Bruckmann auch mit anderen " Fliegern " !!!! siehe unter You tube, Gernot Bruckmann
Der Herr Gernot Bruckmann kann mit.so gut wie jedem Flieger seine Kunststücke machen, egal ob 1 flügel, 2, 3 oder 20, egal ob groß.oder klein! Der Mann hat es einfach drauf.
I'd always heard the Red Baron was capable of keeping his guns trained on opposing planes for a really, really long time. Gernot's flying talent gives an excellent visual as to how it could have looked. Wow! What a demonstration!
Ich hab in 25 Jahren Flugmodellbau schon viele schöne Modelle gesehen aber die DRI übertrifft sie alle! Mehr als erstklassig gebaut und ebenso vorgeflogen! Macht Spaß zuzusehen! 5*****
No doubt a very skilled pilot...! And a beautiful tri wing giant.. I have seen so many German videos of bi planes, triplanes, and countless others, but this beauty takes the cake...! I wish this pilot lots more luck in future flights, and hopefully many more giants for us to see...! I should not have said luck because this is not luck flying these beautiful behemoths, but pure pilot skill..! Which in this video you will undoubtedly see for your self...!
I AGREE with Michael Donavon and I'm at 66! and I will add that is one GREAT LOOKING PLANE my friend!.......keep up the great work and thanks for sharing the video!
Wow what a pilot. If the engine in the real aircraft was as powerful is it any wonder that the Red Baron was such an ace. A real privelage to see such a wonderful model and flying, thanks for posting.
WOW that's an incredible model and even more incredible pilot! Gotta admit those are the most extraordinary extremely low level aerobatics I think I've ever seen. Again, WOW!
It's great to see a model aircraft that actually appears to be flying to scale and does not behave as though it has a thousand horsepower engine nailed to its nose. Well done and may it fly for many years.
I watch it and I think it's a great show, then I realize this: he is just getting warmed up... the show just gets better and better, and finishes with a perfect landing, surrounded by a beautiful countryside setting. Super Spaß, Danke schön for posting this!! :-)
Thats a very awesome red plane sir , brings back memories from my grandfather Charles chuck Pierce, in the garage it looked like a red Porsche or Ferrari as i was proud to see it 👨🍳 he had a hand for planes ,kinda a hobby that he had ! God bless us all ,amen
I would say it a beautiful presentation, that teaches me ,that i would be sweating and praying that all goes good , i haven't started yet , i know ill be professional, but im sure with my 41 years ther is going to be some awesome beginning videos to share, thank you for your service, amen
WOW ! - that is amazing ! - Thankyou for sharing - I would not trust anyone to fly this beautiful model - Even myself ? - you had me on the edge of seat !!! - Well done
That is the finest scale model I have ever seen... flys at scale speed too.... doesn't get much better than that... there are faster and larger, but that is about as good as giant scale gets....
Without a doubt, the best RC flying that I've EVER seen, and at 76, I've seen a lot!! :) Superb piloting skills - just superb. And what a beautiful airplane! The finish looks like glass - all in all, I must say that this RC model and its pilot's skills, are the best I've ever seen. Thanks. N-6395T
I am about ready to believe that the Baron Manfred Von Richthofen has been reincarnated in that pilot. Amazing airplane and amazing flying. A real pleasure to watch and thanks for posting it. On another note, I'd be very tempted to strap a midget into the pilot's seat and take him for a spin.
Saw the mono coat came off on the bottom. A plane that big could almost stand to have actual stitts fabric and be stitched to the longerons. Very nice flying!
Love it, thank you for your dedication. The flying skills of the pilot are just as impressive as the Aerocraft, nice combination. Beautiful engine, thank goodness somebody is building radial engines, sweet. Thanks again mate.
Just saw this: imagine the people driving past when he hi- alpha's a triplane "Gott im himmel !!!!!" screech of brakes, crunch !! Totally astounding great vid
That is the most spectacular flying of a DR-1. The power to weight was incredible. Gave me Goosebumps on the low passes.Hats off for the pilot and many thanks. Dvega69
Wow! This video features the most amazing-in the true sense of the word-R/C flying I have ever seen! Absolutely incredible feats of aerobatics! And the Fokker DR-1 Tri-plane is gorgeous. With those three wings, she just refuses to stall. I doubt a Harrier could do "low and slow" any better than this. Beautiful filming as well. AUSGEZEICHNET! :)
That's just fun. Ernst Udet may have explored knife edge flight with his Fieseler and some Tigermoth pilots did the same when snatching objects off the ground with a wingtip. Essentially a big side slip with the wings banked. Light wing loading and lots of drag make for relaxing flight. I've gotten stuck flying under-cambered wings when inverted in that there's not enough elevator to make positive flight and not enough aileron to roll out. The full sized tripe would be very hard pressed to emulate some of these maneuvers with the rotating engine.
this comment is very valid it's all about the engine noise to a real model flyer there was no need to talk throughout the display he could of kept quiet for a couple of minutes as with all commentary people and radio presenters they love the sound of their own voice!! it's very easy to cure this your the display pilots your the stars of the show you can call the shot's if they don't shut up then don't attend remember you guy's are ultimately in control!
WOW what a monster, It must have taken a long time to build and I doubt it came in a kit form, Brilliant pilot too, You must build a Sopwith, then what a pair to be flown together,, Well Done.

Beautiful plane and an incredible flying demonstration by the pilot!

That side slipping at 3:00 is very telling. I've heard about it but it really looks extraordinary.
Everything about this is world class. The pilot, the plane. The setting. Thank you for sharing.
Your welcome Dave! ;)
Great flight. Manfred von Richthofen would be proud.
my great grandpa shot him down m8
The skill required to fly a plane of that size, that low to the ground, with such maneuvers, is simply mind boggling!~
"Mind boggling"? Really? I'm new to rc, but I can do it.
Beautiful plane with a talented pilot!
tom7601 Manfred von Richthofen, br0
The DR-1 caught my eye as a child, I still love it. This one is the best so far.
This redefines RC flying. Supurb! A Nobel Prize for the designer/pilot.

Wow! He can really fly the hell out of that Fokker!
Thanks for posting!
What an amazing plane! I can't even begin to imagine the time and money that went into building it!
Bad Ass flying skills!! You had me on the edge of my seat a few times!
good to hear my friend!
*What a handsome little FOKKER!* It looks FULL SIZE flying around.Never seen one this big.
Yes, this plane is just giant!
Wunderschön, erstaunlich wie viel Auftrieb diese 3 Flügel bringen, Tolles Model !
Ich glaub Sie meinen Auftrieb oder? ;)
RcToThe FREAK Hahaha ja, war mal früher Formel1 Fan und habe offensichtlich zu oft das Wort ABtrieb gehört :-P
Kein Problem, kann ja mal passieren! ;)
+RcToThe FREAK Ja vor allem tief in der Nacht ;-)
Der Baron hat sich damals bestimmt solche Kraftreserven gewünscht. ;-) Tolles Modell, tolles Video!
+vass ilika Ja das hat er sich bestimmt! ;) Danke! :)
Ich hab in 25 Jahren Flugmodellbau schon viele schöne Modelle gesehen aber die DRI übertrifft sie alle! Mehr als erstklassig gebaut und ebenso vorgeflogen! Macht Spaß zuzusehen! 5*****
Danke fürs anschaun und für den netten Kommentar! :)
That slow speed makes flying soooooo easy, I wish my 800mm would fly so slow and so easily. A great demo.
the plane flys pretty fast but it seems so slow because its so big ;)
No doubt a very skilled pilot...! And a beautiful tri wing giant.. I have seen so many German videos of bi planes, triplanes, and countless others, but this beauty takes the cake...! I wish this pilot lots more luck in future flights, and hopefully many more giants for us to see...! I should not have said luck because this is not luck flying these beautiful behemoths, but pure pilot skill..! Which in this video you will undoubtedly see for your self...!
Unbelievable!!! At 2:58 I realized this guy may know what he's doing. Nothing short of amazing talent and confidence! Thank you.
Quite simply, the BEST RUclips video EVER!
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed! :)
That is awesome,what a great show it put on.I kept waiting for Snoopy on his Sopwith Camel doghouse to come flying into the picture.
I AGREE with Michael Donavon and I'm at 66! and I will add that is one GREAT LOOKING PLANE my friend!.......keep up the great work and thanks for sharing the video!
Thanks buddy, glad you enjoyed my video! :)
I don't know which is better, the beautiful plane or the scenery it flying in. Beautiful country!
Wow what a pilot. If the engine in the real aircraft was as powerful is it any wonder that the Red Baron was such an ace. A real privelage to see such a wonderful model and flying, thanks for posting.
Your welcome!
WOW that's an incredible model and even more incredible pilot! Gotta admit those are the most extraordinary extremely low level aerobatics I think I've ever seen. Again, WOW!
At the end, with the one wheel touch-n-go, now you're just showing off!! Awesome.
amazing....must be 1/3 scale, great piloting and aerobatics....great video, big thumbs up!!!
MANOS RC yes something like that, maybe a bit smaller! Yes the pilot was awesome! ;)
RcToThe FREAK Looks like 2/3 or 66% of real aircraft.
ot1k Yeah the full scale is only a 24 ft. wing span on top wing. This looks to be more than 12 ft.
james price its 1/1.5 scale and the wingspan is 4,2m so about 14 ft
MANOS RC
No thats an ARF plane from Bill Hempel.
The DR1 have 4,80m Wingspan and a 800ccm Valach radial engine.
.. unbeliveable .. nice aeroplane, great pilot, everything on the minimal flying height, super ... I have to write it here ..
+Ivo Brabec Thanks for watching and commenting!
It's great to see a model aircraft that actually appears to be flying to scale and does not behave as though it has a thousand horsepower engine nailed to its nose. Well done and may it fly for many years.
MAJESTIC! No wonder the Red Barron had so many kills - that thing could out maneuver a humming bird.
I watch it and I think it's a great show, then I realize this: he is just getting warmed up... the show just gets better and better, and finishes with a perfect landing, surrounded by a beautiful countryside setting. Super Spaß, Danke schön for posting this!! :-)
Hard to believe that is a model.!!! Excellent pilot!!!!
That was truly the absolute best tri flight i have ever seen! ! just awesome!
Thank you!
Very nice aircraft and a great display. I think the model flies a little better than the original DR1 would have, but it is lovely to watch.
Thats a very awesome red plane sir , brings back memories from my grandfather Charles chuck Pierce, in the garage it looked like a red Porsche or Ferrari as i was proud to see it 👨🍳 he had a hand for planes ,kinda a hobby that he had ! God bless us all ,amen
Absolutely GORGEOUS aircraft there...!!! :)
Wow!!!!! There are people who make rc of madness!! Brilliant!!
sator rotas Yes absolutely! Thats awesome!
Einfach Fantastisch wie Gernot diese "Kiste" fliegt
I would say it a beautiful presentation, that teaches me ,that i would be sweating and praying that all goes good , i haven't started yet , i know ill be professional, but im sure with my 41 years ther is going to be some awesome beginning videos to share, thank you for your service, amen
Way cool ' I have always loved just the BI plaines ' but this try plain is just way too cool . Thumbs up to you man Jimmie R
+James Rodgers thanks a lot Jimmie! :) Glad you enjoyed my video!
Gernot Bruckmann is a god! The Red Baron is proud where ever he may be...
my grandson and I thoroughly enjoyed this
Aerobatics old school. Great flight, cool aircraft.
Holy cow!At what point does it cease to be a flying scale model and a PPL becomes necessary?
WOW ! - that is amazing ! - Thankyou for sharing - I would not trust anyone to fly this beautiful model - Even myself ? - you had me on the edge of seat !!! - Well done
thanks alot my friend!:)
One of the best pilots I've ever seen and a great plane !!! Congratulations!
Very good video!
That is the finest scale model I have ever seen... flys at scale speed too.... doesn't get much better than that... there are faster and larger, but that is about as good as giant scale gets....
Thanks for watching and commenting! Glad you enjoyed my video!
Hell ... Increase the size about 50% and you could get in it... Beautiful work....Masterful flying!
I'm certain Richtofen never flew like that ! - Brilliant flying never-the-less!
haha, would be cool to watch him flying like that! :D
Agree !!! " what an excellent video...that pilot has amazing skills...awesome Aircraft "
WoW! Herr Bruckmann is an incredibly good pilot!!!!!!!!!
Outstanding model, and an outstanding pilot!
Without a doubt, the best RC flying that I've EVER seen, and at 76, I've seen a lot!! :)
Superb piloting skills - just superb.
And what a beautiful airplane! The finish looks like glass - all in all, I must say that this RC model and its pilot's skills, are the best I've ever seen. Thanks. N-6395T
Thank you for watching and commenting! The pilot/builder would be proud of him to read such an amazimg comment!! :)
I am about ready to believe that the Baron Manfred Von Richthofen has been reincarnated in that pilot. Amazing airplane and amazing flying. A real pleasure to watch and thanks for posting it.
On another note, I'd be very tempted to strap a midget into the pilot's seat and take him for a spin.
Awesome plane and superb pilot skills! Thumbs up!
Congratulation
Mr. Richthofen would be proud to see such a beautiful ride.
WOW! Great plane, Great Flying, and Great video. It all came together is this, a feat rarely done! Congratulations!
Coordinated control ! Ever heard of it??
An incredible amount of lift allows this fine RC aircraft to just wallow through the air. Very cool.
Wow, beautiful airplane and superb flying! Das Ist sehr gut!
Saw the mono coat came off on the bottom. A plane that big could almost stand to have actual stitts fabric and be stitched to the longerons. Very nice flying!
Love it, thank you for your dedication. The flying skills of the pilot are just as impressive as the Aerocraft, nice combination. Beautiful engine, thank goodness somebody is building radial engines, sweet. Thanks again mate.
Unbelivable plane, unbelievably good pilot.
Just saw this: imagine the people driving past when he hi- alpha's a triplane "Gott im himmel !!!!!" screech of brakes, crunch !! Totally astounding great vid
If I was going to build an RC airfield, I'd put a barn right in the middle as well. After all - what could go wrong?
Most definitely one of the biggest RC plane I have ever seen!! Beautiful "Red Baron!" :-)
Beautiful scenery of the mountains brings heightens the romanticism of flying by the seat of your pants multi wing flying.
That is some daring flying that low to the ground with such a giant scale masterpiece!! very nice performance indeed!
That is the most spectacular flying of a DR-1. The power to weight was incredible. Gave me Goosebumps on the low passes.Hats off for the pilot and many thanks. Dvega69
thanks buddy!
Great piloting skills and confidence.
its a dummy pilot
+jonathan andrew Your the dummy pilot ' could u fly this thing of art without crashing ???
I tought he meant the pilot in the plane not the rc pilot
James Rodgers
That's practically a real one! :D
Wow! This video features the most amazing-in the true sense of the word-R/C flying I have ever seen! Absolutely incredible feats of aerobatics! And the Fokker DR-1 Tri-plane is gorgeous. With those three wings, she just refuses to stall. I doubt a Harrier could do "low and slow" any better than this. Beautiful filming as well. AUSGEZEICHNET! :)
+Jeff Puha Thanks bro! Wish the pilot and owner of this plane could see this! :)
An epic job from the father land !...but why the hideous dummy in the cockpit ?
Arnold wouldn't fit?
hideous dummy is fine pilot... why else is hideous dummy in cockpit?
I've always thought you RC airplane guys in Europe are a good step ahead of us in the U.S. After seeing this, I was wrong....you're two steps ahead.
Thank you! But you guys in america have also some great planes!
Welch ein genialer Pilot! Tolles Model auch.
What a brilliant pilot! Great model also.

That building right on the edge of the runway, man oh man it makes me nervous.
but definitely an excellent flying.
i agree! ;)
Wow!! What a beautiful plane! And Bruckmann flies an RC better that I can fly a Cessna.
Great flying skills. You could almost fit a person in that thing...
Beautiful plane and a very skilled pilot!
Wow, it seems some regular planes are smaller than this RC one ! Amazing !
Great pilot skills, as well !
Yes thats true, the plane is gigantic! And the pilot.as well ;)
That is just amazing !!!! Incredible handling skills, well done:-)
Amazing flying and beautiful plane
Great RC flight performance, compliments!
What an amazing toy! I love the way the triplanes can maneuver. Could you put a small child in that?
+caveatemp For sure!
WOW what a monster, It must have taken a long time to build and I doubt it came in a kit form, Brilliant pilot too, You must build a Sopwith, then what a pair to be flown together,, Well Done.
thanks! i think the plane didnt came in a kit
Amazing flying demonstration with a DR-1 =) Very nice!
Fabulous model and great video. Well done and many thanks.
Thank you! :)
Brilliant, what fantastic flying.
Wow! Der ist ganz schön groß!!!
Maurice RC Productions In der Tat! ;)
Great flying, excellent vid, thanks
thanks, you welcome ;)
Wow it's almost like watching a real one fly. Expert flying.
