An excellent video. It begins to give the impression of just what it was like to fly these early aircraft, and see your adversary in the sky. THANK YOU!
I have fond memories of coming to ORA with my dad when I was 10. This brings it all back. So cool to see this perspective!
way cool! Thank you for posting
Stuff of dreams! Thanks for keeping the dreams alive!
All we need is Good Fellow and Black Baron voiceovers during the flight
Best video so far
My brain really struggles to put myself in that time period in such great colour as if existence was black and white or at best recoloured back then😂
When the Dridecker lined up the Pup in between the guns, that gave me goose bumps🤩. Interesting that Dridecker engine has very rugged throaty sound vs. Pup’s smooth wind noise. Is it merely recording difference? Or do the engines actually sound so different?
It could be recording difference but I believe the DR1 has a modern engine (Rotax ?) while the Pup may have an original rotary engine.
@@mourauxxavier5680 if that’s true then fascinating how an old rotary engine sounds so much quieter than a modern rotax engine. Are you sure it’s not the other way around?
@@fpvdogfight I just notice that there are links in the description for more details on both planes on the Old Rhinebeck website. The Dr1 has a 220hp Continental radial engine. It's about twice the power of the original rotary so probably the reason for more noise.
@@mourauxxavier5680 Thanks for looking up the info. That makes perfect sense now. Cheers!
@@fpvdogfight Yes our Sopwith Pup has an 80HP LeRhône 9C rotary and our Triplane has a 220HP Continental stationary radial engine. This video was filmed with GoPros so there also is a good amount of wind noise that may be affecting the sound of the engines.
The DR1 ailerons appear to work backwards....
It’s called overbanking: in a turn, the outside wing moves faster and therefore creates more lift. The pilot must use alierons opposite to the turn to counteract this effect. For most airplanes, they are built to be naturally stable and will therefore naturally return to level, counteracting this overbanking tendency. The DR1 was made to be a fighter and, to aid in maneuverability, was made naturally unstable requiring constant corrections to keep level in order to roll faster when it needs to.
Altitude is your friend unless you have acrophobia.
??????? ?
What a bad location for an airport flying these old planes and engines.
How? Just curious
