35 percent nitro and need to lean out the engine more to bring the RPMs up. They fly ok for what they are.

Have you found the other two rotor blades? It’ll fly fine with all four installed.

Got to let the rotor blades increase in rpms, or, let them build up before you let it go!

Lean it out.

@mikesrcgarage 7 ай бұрын

Needed to be leaned out singing a song and the blades have to spool up before tossing it. But at least it couldn't fly away that way! These are the toys that made America great!

Check out these smooth turns and silky transitions from flat to edge.... on chunk boards! Dang, man. If y'all are confused by what this means, then look to see how wide his skis are under his boot. They are chunky and wide under his boot (middle or 'waist' of ski). Niiice turns. Beauty!! Beauty!!! Great balance with isolated and minimal upper body movement. A speed check with every turn. Even the pole plants are spot-on and not open wristed like most of today's "stylie" skiers. You know skiers like this... when you ask how good they are, they generally say something modest like, "Yeah, I'm alright." Then, they proceed to rip a line that could be posted to Monster or Red Bull. Bro, I'd love to rip with ya. How do I ski? Yeah, I'm alright too. ;) 😅

Wrong fuel and missing two blades which is causing balance issues

Without a rotary it's no good.

There’s no way that things 100 years old. it’s looks like a replica to me. not even the right style of engine

@rescue270 8 ай бұрын

It is a replica. No original Dreideckers survive today. All surviving original WWI aircraft are very rare in general, but exceptionally few original German WWI aircraft of any type still exist at all, due to stipulations of the Treaty of Versailles that demanded German military equipment be destroyed or dismantled in order to prevent any future escalations of hostilities. At the Chamblin Fighter Museum, I did see an original Aviatik fighter that had escaped destruction, having been disguised as a civilian airplane, then hidden away at a remote airfield until discovered years later.

Its not a 100 year old triplane, no original Dr.1exist today. Its a modern day replica with a modern. Still nice for a semi-replica.

@Strike_Raid 9 ай бұрын

Everyone knows this isn't a real DR-1 but fun fact, DR-I engines couldn't idle; they were wide open all the time and were 'throttled' using the ignition switch.

@jamesburns2232 8 ай бұрын

If you like WWI vintage airplanes, you can still see one of the rotary engine DR-1's flying at the Cole Palin collection, Old Rhinebeck, NY. It's well worth the trip there to see the old planes and smell the sweet smell of castor oil lubricant in the air. 🐱

@ecomandurban7183 9 ай бұрын

that is most certainly not a 100 year old aircraft. It is highly likely to be a replica but does not have a rotary engine.

@motoflyte 9 ай бұрын

I thought triplanes had old radial engines...where the cylinders rotated and the crank stayed static...

@kenhaskell5645 9 ай бұрын

Thats a replica, if I was real, he would have had a hard time starting the rotary engine.

It's a replica. "320 Fokker Dr.Is were built (and 171 went into combat service), only three of them survived the war. They were all destroyed later, and only fragments of them remain on display in museums. The only Fokker triplanes still flying today are replicas inspired by the original"

@sandybarrie5526 9 ай бұрын

considering there are NO original Dr1's survived, where t=do they ady this is a 100 year old plane>?? it is a replica.

@jkorshak 9 ай бұрын

I believe it's a replica. The Dr1 had a rotary engine, though many replicas refitted with radial engines because of the rotary torque.

@kevinwillard4443 9 ай бұрын

It probably is a replica, that engine stated first kick, like it was new

@CaptainRon1913 9 ай бұрын

It wasn't the torque. Torque in propeller driven aircraft comes from the down swinging blade at higher angles of attack. It's taking more of a bite where the up-swinging blade is not. The rotary engine suffered from gyroscopic precession from the rotating mass. Like hanging on to the axles of a bicycle wheel while someone spins it

@jkorshak 9 ай бұрын

@@CaptainRon1913 Sure, a factor whether it be radial or rotary, but the gyroscopic precession from the rotating mass of the rotary is torque induced.

I have a 1/3 scale DR1 my dad was working on before he passed.. I will finish it for him one day,it was destined to be a museum piece... every detail right down to the rudder pedals and how many bolts are in the working laminated tail skid. He has several planes in the Curtis museum in Hammondsport. He also was a member of that. He lived and breathed WW1 & WW2 airplanes. Didn’t realize you were an airplane fan @KevinWillard

@rickparshall 9 ай бұрын

My dad was a member of HAG... he got a flight on W-7 at Geneseo (their DC-3 or C-47) my dad used to drive the follow me truck, planes followed him to their spot! He always said “if it doesn’t have multiple wings and a round engine it ain’t an airplane” that Fokker triplane definitely qualifies!! It must have been up from Rhinbeck aerodrome ?

Traxxas fuel is the worst thing you can run in Cox engine. There isn't enough castor oil.

@Cosworth190e 10 ай бұрын

Wrong fuel for sure. I don't know if its still possible to get Cox fuel probably not but try and find some formulated specifically for the small .049 engines.(1/2A) It sounds like it is not reaching peak RPM those little engines should be spinning at like 20,000 rpm coxengines.ca/public/files/FG.pdf
