Yes little ailerons rather than wing warping,and btw,it's an EII not an EIII and yet it has a high 'shoulder' placement wing position like the early E1 prototypes😉👍🏻
Ross , love your videos , May be buying a Rans S 10 Sacota, would like some pointers ... by the way was at the Wall concert in NYC , still have the concert Ticket stub and concert T shirt ....lol...
Ross. Looks superb! A mate and I are planning to build the AA Eindecker EIII in Aus. The Rotax 503 isn’t manufactured any longer so I’d be interested in your thoughts on alternative engines and any other advice. Martin
There are a few in the US and UK which are powered by the valley engineering Big Twin. It’s a little heavier than the Rotax and not as powerful but is easier on gas and being a four stroke, the sound suits it better. They are a very lightly built aircraft, if you find parts of the design you don’t like I suggest you beef it up a bit. We did this in quite a few places on ours. Also, when it came to final assembly we found our aircraft was really nose heavy, I suggest you make allowance for adding lead weights if required to the rear fuselage, if you install an electrical system install the batter as far back as practical to try and even out the weight distribution.
@@rossbrodie8280 our EIII arrived in Aus last week. We have a Rotax 582 on order and we’re currently going thru the manuals. Any advice on building the EIII ? You’re in NZ right?
Clint Smith this one is in the New Zealand Microlight Category which is quite different to the American ultralight or LSA. If it were in the US I think it can be registered as either, have a look at the Airdrome Aeroplanes website for more information
I’d be happy to buy and build any one of their planes, except I want full size. The Fokker D1 triplane is nice but I’d rather not contribute to the Red Baron spam
I’m not too sure of the cost since the project was already started when I got to it. I suggest getting in touch with Robert Baslee from Airdrome Aeroplanes.
I saw something where you said the E III Eindecker replica would dive toward the ground if you released the stick. Sounds very unstable to me. Is this true? Thanks.
@@parrotraiser6541 Oh well, "I" probably wouldn't fit in swimming trunks. I looked at this, if not a similar design, many years back. Even when I was much lighter, I could sit in it, or have fuel, but not both. Fun Ultralight idea, though.
My one and only suggestion (and it’s a PF fan choice); same vid (original I adore!!), put Division Bell’s “ Learning to fly” so I can dream absolutely proper!?😉
I was listening to Run Like Hell recently I was at a hangar plane spotting and I thought it fit super well with the atmosphere. Then I saw the movie scene and now it doesn’t fit so much, but apparently I wasn’t the only one to think it fit well to flying initially.
I saw somewhere that you said the Eindecker would dive to the ground if you let go of the stick. Is that right? Sounds unstable. I'm thinking of building one from Aerodrome Aeroplanes so I wanted to hear what you had to say about it. Thanks.
The horizontal stabilizer on the Eindekker was fully movable and hinged centrally with no fixed surfaces. If the pilot released the stick it had a tendency to snap fully up or fully down with disastrous consequences. It was an unstable little beast, but pilots mastered it all the same.
Thanks, it is a lot of fun! The reason I added music was because you can’t hear the engine on the GoPro microphone, all you would hear is wind noise which I find pretty irritating
You would be deafened by the original audio, you can’t hear the engine at all. Unless you like the sound screeching wind noise you would have muted it anyway
This is like the last song I would expect to hear while watching this kind of video, but thumbs up for good taste in music.
The WW1 reproductions are incredible and the sound track on this video is great
lmao bro cancel the music i wanna hear the engine
It's open cockpit so all you'll hear is wind.
@@TheCaptaingreen12Yeah,we have parliament for that!
planes AND pink floyd? thats fucking awesome
Nice video, though I rather hear the aircraft than music I already know. Thanks for the video
Schick ( = beautiful) ! Das Flugzeug ist also nur 3/4 vom Original ?
Cool plane, cool music, cool video 😎
Very neat. I thought the E 111 had wedding warping. You appear to have ailerons.
bruce foster yes the original Eindecker has wing warping, this replica was designed with ailerons to make it a bit more controllable
who wants to fly something with wing warping over ailerons? Not me.
@@rickfrank7934 It's something I'd love to see a first person view of though.

Very cool vid 👍
Absolutely awesome video! Best I’ve seen!
I have been considering building one of these just for the goof
Btw it is fighter:)
@@user-yc5bh6rd6sbtw it is A fighter😉👍🏻

Dunno HOW this has only just been suggested to me?!?
SU-PERB view,cheers🙂👍🏻
Toll!!!

Is this classified as ultralight or LSA??

'Run for your life' PF, outstanding choice of music! I sat here alone, grinning like a fool thru the whole thing, listening and watching. Thanks...!
Waited for an Immelmann turn which never came.
I imagine you feel every single bump and vibration in this thing.
Also did the gauges come with the kit or did you have to purchase them separately?
Ahhh satisfying....
Would this project be realistic for some one with no experience building kit planes?
I’d be happy to buy and build any one of their planes, except I want full size. The Fokker D1 triplane is nice but I’d rather not contribute to the Red Baron spam
Hi Ross was the kit imported from the US? If yes what was the shipping cost? I live in Sydney and am planning to order the DVII from Airdrome
I’m not too sure of the cost since the project was already started when I got to it. I suggest getting in touch with Robert Baslee from Airdrome Aeroplanes.
@@rossbrodie8280 ok.
I saw something where you said the E III Eindecker replica would dive toward the ground if you released the stick. Sounds very unstable to me. Is this true? Thanks.
What kind of wingload can these take? Anything like the originals?
Looks like a lot of fun, but in Canada it would only be useful for about 4 months of the year.
Wear better clothing. :P
@@tananam9782 That cockpit's space and weight constrained. Anything warm enough wouldn't fit.
@@parrotraiser6541 Oh well, "I" probably wouldn't fit in swimming trunks.

Sorry...gents and ladies, it’s “Momentary lapse of reason”.😉

great build ross is their a wood dowell where the wings join shame aa dont do a introductry plan
No, there is now wood dowell. The wing spars slide onto an aluminium spar carry through in the fuselage. The wings are held on by flying wire tension

YES I want to hear airplane
It's a two-stroke, not the original radial/rotary.
What’s the engine you’re using?
It’s a Rotax 503 two stroke
Why music? Really?
Beautiful aircraft - would much rather hear the engine.
Thanks, it is a lot of fun! The reason I added music was because you can’t hear the engine on the GoPro microphone, all you would hear is wind noise which I find pretty irritating
Had he not had music, someone would have complained about the lack of music.
Lucky
At my size & weight I'd need a 5/4 scale version.
Cockpit’s only 20.25” wide.
I want that thing
What sort of engine does she have?
Rebekah-Chris S-K She’s got a Rotax 503, 52 hp
Афигенно
I would have prefered no music and just use the natural sound of the motor and the air. The music makes the video go from cool to meh
Too bad couldn't hear the engine
I thought the Spade on the control stick was a British thing, obviously they weren't the first to use it lol
TURN THE MUSIC OFF
I want to watch this video without music...
We dont ned no...education.....
Sorry but i would much prefer wind and engine noise, and i cant stand this song thumbs down
I'm pretty sure that stupid music is not what you heard while flying it. Screws up video
You would be deafened by the original audio, you can’t hear the engine at all. Unless you like the sound screeching wind noise you would have muted it anyway
easy thumbs down for the music
I guess I can’t please everyone
I liked it, and I'm a 77-year-old fuddy-duddy.
You'd rather hear wind noise? Not the best choice, but better than mic blowout.
@@tananam9782 thank you. Someone who actually knows…
