FOKKER DR1 65% MAIDEN FLIGHT

Descripción

[@matrox]

What is so impressive is the kid flying this plane is just 7 years old, and fits the cockpit perfectly.✊😏

[@jay6817]

[@jamesburns2232]

This FOKKER Dr-1 scale is for Kids ages 4-8. 🤠

[@robertbamford8266]

I was coincidentally watching a 70% spitfire with a live (adult) pilot on board -at the controls. Brings home the relatively small size of the triplane.

[@matrox]

@@robertbamford8266 I saw it.

[@user-wo9uk5ti6t]

how old is the guy with the RC controller actually flying the plane?

[@fredperry523]

I'm amazed those pram wheels survived that landing - tougher than I thought.

[@tonyhudson8698]

Delightful. Lots of work gone into this, GREAT... Maybe for starting, use a car starter motor But use onto the HUB OF PROP, no added weight to the plane, only needed for first start up, easy to pack away. The rotation may need to be worked on, but can be overcome. I have started small older motors with a setup as described, used a old oil pump to change the rotation, ... Again thanks for video of a Fantastic project..

[@VideoFly789]

Thank you

[@tonyd1149]

Looks, flies, even sounds realistic. Nice job there. Very awesome. Thank you for making & posting this video.

[@alanwhite6293]

absolutely brilliant!!!! good flight, good video

[@user-en1nr1ro4v]

Amazing just how big it is. Sounds great, looks great, I really enjoyed this.

[@lorirommel519]

I LOVE Fokkers! I was really into Snoopy when I was a kid, which of course led me to the Red Baron. I've been thinking that it would be possible to build one, full-size but taking advantage of the advances in materials science over the past 100+ years. You'd save a lot of weight while retaining all of that fabulous lift capability. (More than enough to install a starter!) Keep on flyin'!

[@kotori87gaming89]

There are dangers to swapping materials. The original planes were designed using specific types of wood and wires in precise places, to distribute the stresses of flying just so. As many modern replica-makers have discovered, changing the materials (carbon-fiber spar instead of birch, etc.) may significantly change how the plane handles, or even make it less safe to fly. Making modern replicas is very cool, but make sure you do the due diligence to ensure the plane is still safe to fly.

[@jasonrackawack9369]

I remember reading that the originals were pretty awful to fly as originally designed and they were downright dangerous for experienced pilots.

Two words....electric starter. Beautiful job building and pretty good job flying. Like the original it was most dangerous to it's pilot on take offs and landings. And like the original it could turn on a dime. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@VideoFly789]

thanks for your words.

[@jasonconrad7664]

I came to say this too. The man needs to learn how to safely hand-prop an aircraft, he's going to get hurt. Best to get an electric starter.

[@MrBBaron]

Really enjoy watching ww1 warbirds on our clubs flying field. That was an awesome Fokker Dr1

[@VideoFly789]

Thank you

[@edsantos6627]

I love the the throaty sound of open mufflers at low rpm😊😊

[@ovalwingnut]

Only 13 comments in 6 years? This aircraft is INSANE(LY) FANTASTIC. I could just watch them start it for days. I don't even need to see if fly :O) My palms are sweating just listening to it. That engine is pure unprotected XƎS. Very COoL gentleman. Very COoL. You RoCk. Had to jump in and say this. Now back to the show... (I'm scared, somebody hold me:) -----> I opened my eyes and it's S.T.U.N.N.I.N.G!!!!! Pilot: YOU ARE THE AERO WHISPERER

[@VideoFly789]

thank you thank you thank you

[@lw216316]

beautiful, thumb up from me. It reminds me of the guys who fly gas planes at our rc club - they seem to spend more time trying to get their engines started than they do flying! Most of us fly electric / battery planes now. The tri-planes look top heavy and seem to be in danger of cliping wings when they land.

[@VideoFly789]

Thanks and yes it is more difficult to land when you have the wheels close

[@JohnSmith-yv6eq]

It's always great to have the little Fokker in my sights...

[@VideoFly789]

[@JK-zl7vv]

The tail fin looks a bit small, but I was very impressed on how it only needed about a foot of runway to get airborne

[@matsv201]

The full scale plane lift of at about 60-70km/h. This one due to being scaled should lift of at about 40-50. Considering the pretty solid head wind, they are maybe only doing half that. And that engine sound pretty powerfull

[@macmccune21]

Dont really need a bigger tail since the whole thing acts as a rudder!

[@thosdot6497]

@@matsv201 - the prop wash (plus headwind) was enough to lift the tail!

5% bigger and the builder could have sat in it and flown it around from the cockpit. 😁 Very kool bird though. 😎

[@VideoFly789]

Yes Sr thanks

[@wsbill14224]

What a gorgeous airplane. I would make one suggestion. That plane has so much lift it doesn't need the wing between the wheels. It would be faster and more fun to fly if you removed it.

You are right

Tem doido pra tudo,,não se pode duvidar..

[@jayham1970]

Impressive takeoffs. I was estimating that that plane was taking off in fewer than 100 feet. The minor ground loop on that last landing was unfortunate. I hope that there was no major damage done to the plane.

[@VideoFly789]

Thanks

[@walterbriggs272]

Good job!

[@VideoFly789]

👍

[@williamgoring7605]

I noticed in this video. The one guy stuck his hand in there and adjusted something. And then got away from that prop and let the other guy do it. In other words, it's not safe, not at all.

[@VideoFly789]

Thanks

[@DownhillAllTheWay]

You can skip the first 2 minutes to avoid all the prop-flipping. It's a fantastic model, and it sounds so good, I was just waiting for the point where it shoots down a Tiger Moth!

[@16-BITFPV]

I don't remember anyone asking 😂

[@randall1959]

That is the most dangerous hand starting technique I have ever seen

[@smesui1799]

So who do the white guys have flipping the dangerous propeller ? They have the dark-skinned guy doing it. ...

[@jamescherney5874]

The guy clearly did not know how to prop an airplane.

[@Craig52-zq1bt]

If you look between the wheels...there is a fourth wing.

[@heinzdauer9487]

Oh Oh bei Start und Landung hatte der rote Baron bestimmt auch schon so einiges Intus ! 🧐🧐🧐

[@timrussell1559]

Too small for a human to take a ride in, but my dog would love it!

[@bigbelconut]

Need to reclock the prop so your pushing down instead of pulling sideways.

[@joeosban9000]

Can you imagine a plane from that era going up against something we have now. Only mabe a hundred years. Now our state of the art going up against something that's been around say a thousand years 😢😢😢 7:36

[@kittyhawk9886]

Prop in wrong location for flipping. And in these days and age. Surely a mechanicical starter would have lessened the risk to the operator! Nice plane glad no one got hurt operating it.

[@pcbondart]

not a problem if you know what you are doing

[@VideoFly789]

@@pcbondart you are rigth

[@c120flyer]

I think if the prop was rotated 1 bolt to the counterclockwise direction, you could prop it in the normal way.

A really fantastic 'plane, well done, just a couple of comments. For heaven sake adjust the prop so that you pull it downwards to start or there's going to be a nasty accident. It should be painted using mat paint.
