- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ย. 2024
- SHE IS A REPLICA OF THE FAMOUS BARON VON RICHTHOFENS "THE RED BARON" TRIPLANE BUT IS FAR MORE MANOUVERABLE THAN THE REAL TRIPLANE,
SHE WAS BUILT FROM AN ARTF KIT !
SHE HAS A W/SPAN OF - 4.8 MTRS,
HAS 4 MULTIPLEX RECEIVERS ONBOARD - 1 IN EACH WING AND 2 IN THE TAIL,
ALL SERVOS ARE HITEC 44KG TORQUE - 3 PER AILERON, 2 PER ELEVATOR HALF, 3 ON THE RUDDER,
USES J.PERKINS LIPOS BATTS FOR RX / SERVO POWER,
STEVE IS A MECHANIC / ENGINNEER AND DESIGNED THE 550cc FLAT FOUR PETROL ENGINE HIMSELF, THE ENGINE IS BASED ON THE 2W 275 ENGINE BUT STEVE DESIGNED HIS OWN CRANKSHAFT, CRANKCASE, MANIFOLDS, EXHAUST & ELECTRONIC IGNITION,
CYLINDERS & PISTONS ARE FROM THE 3W 275 ENGINE !
THE REAL FOKKER DR1 WAS A COPY OF THE ENGLISH SOPWITH TRIPLANE (CAPTURED INTACT) IN 1917,
HERES SOME INFO ON THE REAL AIRCRAFT -
Wingspan: 7.19 m
Top speed: 185 km/h
Length: 5.77 m
Range: 300 km
Engine type: Rotary engine
Manufacturer: Fokker
Number built: 320
The Fokker Dr.I (Dreidecker, "triplane" in German) was a World War I fighter aircraft built by Fokker-Flugzeugwerke. The Dr.I saw widespread service in the spring of 1918. It became famous as the aircraft in which Manfred von Richthofen gained his last 19 victories, and in which he was killed on 21 April 1918.
In February 1917, the Sopwith Triplane began to appear over the Western Front.[1] Despite its single Vickers machine gun armament, the Sopwith swiftly proved itself superior to the more heavily armed Albatros fighters then in use by the Luftstreitkräfte. In April 1917, Anthony Fokker viewed a captured Sopwith Triplane while visiting Jasta 11. Upon his return to the Schwerin factory, Fokker instructed Reinhold Platz to build a triplane, but gave him no further information about the Sopwith design. Platz responded with the V.4, a small, rotary-powered triplane with a steel tube fuselage and thick cantilever wings, first developed during Fokker's government-mandated collaboration with Hugo Junkers. Initial tests revealed that the V.4 had unacceptably high control forces resulting from the use of unbalanced ailerons and elevators.
Instead of submitting the V.4 for a type test, Fokker produced a revised prototype designated V.5. The most notable changes were the introduction of horn-balanced ailerons and elevators, as well as longer-span wings. The V.5 also featured interplane struts, which were not necessary from a structural standpoint, but which minimized wing flexing. On 14 July 1917, Idflieg issued an order for 20 pre-production aircraft. The V.5 prototype, serial 101/17, was tested to destruction at Adlershof on 11 August 1917.

FILMED AT AN RC MODEL AIRCRAFT SHOW RUN BY THE LMA ( LARGE MODEL ASSOCIATION ) AT RAF COSFORD - SHIFNAL WOLVERHAMPTON - SHROPSHIRE / STAFFORDSHIRE - TF11 8UP
OVER THE WEEKEND OF 15th & 16th JULY - 2017,
There's really only one word for this aeroplane build. Fantastic.
If the Baron could do those maneuvers , I don't think he would be shot down. Very cool stuff guys. Outstanding triplane and flying of it.
He was shot down during chasing a British fighter at low altitude at the enemy artillery, he mistakenly did that instead of leaving the pursuit but he wasn't shot down by another fighter
What a beautiful plane!!! Being a 65% scale, it's tempting to put in a kid there and give him a joyride. Outstanding takeoff. Just like a helicopter!!
Nice build and piloting... Only downside to me ever building this size is it would be to tempting for me to jump in and try to ride!
That's one giant Fokker dr1 triplane looks like a real one I saw it at wings and wheels north Weald airfield 2017 Sunday great very short takeoff and slow flying great landing
At that scale it is a whole different hobby. Amazing!
Man, if the Red Baron had THAT thing full-scale, LOOK OUT! Looked like a real joy to fly. Cool
Maybe make a 1/1 Fokker Dr1 with some carbon fiber and titanium and other advanced materiels to make it even lighter, other advancements in fabric covering and a modern rotary with a much higher power-to-weight ratio, and it might approach the performance of this model
Wow, what was that, like a whopping 7 feet till it left the ground? Incredible!
wow, a fabulous aircraft. I expected the prop would be too small for the size and weight of the aircraft, but it seems to fly fine with what it has.
Brilliant!!! It would be fun to see two RC pilots put on a duel.
Celebrated and associated with Von Richthofen, only 19 of his 80 kills were made in the Fokker Dr.I. The majority came while flying the Albatros C II. (He also scored kills in a Halberstadt D.II) His first red plane was the Albatros. The first Fokker's had engineering problems in the wings. He switched back to the Albatros till the Fokker showed better. Von Richthofen helped refine the Fokker (v. D. VII) but never flew it in combat being killed by either ground fire or during air combat.
Beautiful airplane and some great piloting; Well done!
I came and I looked.. and fell in love.
Beautiful plane and flying ....... :)
AND at "Scale speed"! :)
that poor kid in the driver seat, would have got dizi with all that acrobatic flying, ha ha
Great flight, didn't cross my mind that type of model was capable of that type of flying! Lots of stress on that airframe eh!
Very impressive 🤔👍
Love it.
There's so much drag on the airframe plus all that lift, I doubt there is any time for stress. The original had a minimum of bracing wires
All that work and you get to the flying field to hear the priceless line "it's a big fokker"
That was very impressive. Great plane. Great pilot
thanks bobby
Incredible. I wonder how the power/weight ratio compares to the real one?
That it's cool! That is HUGE! That is cool! Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
thanks steven
WOW what a beauty! Manfred would love it!
the DR1 was and is noted for it's abilities in the short take off and in climbing...
That plane took off on propblast and headwind.
Great plane.... Great pilot
Großartiges Modell. Sehr gut gemacht. Kompliment für die Erbauer. 😗😘
vielen Dank
........... Loved it ....!
thanks ormus
what a bird ! gave me goose bumps with that landing , very nice
Wow! Very spectacular airshow!!!!
thanks rossi
Fantastic model! And I really like the blue & white color scheme instead of the over used red paint job of Richtoven's. Also, amazing take off, and piloting!
Thank you very much cal
That is the plane of Leutnant Raben of Jasta 18
I grew up on .049 nitro and u-control. Seeing this thing land while a turbine spools up in the background really makes me feel old XD
same here capta
I love that you chose the less done but still authentic blue bird scheme it is far prettier and sets the bird apart from the gazillions of red dridekers out there - stunning work, great airmanship, very inspired
I think the Dr1's qualify as vierdeckers as that short wing between the wheels certainly adds some extra lift
Excellent airplane and video. Remarkable. So responsive.
Dave
Shortest take off ever _and_ shortest landing ever. Impressive -little- big RC triplane there.
Good paint design.
That was some amazing flying . All I can say is wow
Amazing workmanship and piloting skills. I therefore believe the prop is exactly what the builder wanted -and it obviously performs very well- it just appears a little small in comparison to the rest of the plane. The little prop that could and did?
Runway? We don't need no stinking runway.. hold my beer.
Nice tri wing
das flugzeug und seine erbauer haben den himmel durchgespielt. expert level!
Awesome video as always. Amazing airplane, amazing flying. Good Show!
Glad you enjoyed it
The Fokker Tri-Plane was so maneuverable, it spun around in mid flight to bring it's guns to bear on it's enemies following it.
Amazing!!!!!
What a beast👍✈️✈️😊
Awesome flying skills Grejt plane
THAT WAS UNREAL!!!
Awesome doesn't even describe it
Woah, looks like the Timber's got some competition!
LOL
That is really cool!!!
very nice plane...and great flying...with this rather smallish propeller.
Great flying
holy crapp its beautiful.. How does it fly with that tiny prop ??
beautiful
Instead of the red baron, it's the blue baron. LOL!
AWESOME BEAUTY! FANTASTIC JOB ON EVERYTHING. How much did the MOTOR COST?
all info in video description lance, no idea how much it cost !
6:20 - great tip vortex footage!
I love the floater planes...
Sweet landing!
What a pilot!!
Might as well build a full size one, incredible piloting though.
Thats a bloody big fokker
WOW!!!! Takeoff in 6/7 meters!!!!! is "Fun-tas-tic" Fokker ;-)
thats a large over-estimation
I think I have not overestimated it ... if we take into account that it moves approximately one meter before giving gas to the bottom and the route before taking off the wheels of the grass is approximately the length of the fuselage and maybe a little more gives result. that takes off in about 6 meters or so ... maybe even less ....
I have analyzed the video, taken points of reference and calculated based on the two people that appear next to the plane giving them an average of 1.70m in height which gives me approximately that distance, and possibly I am wrong but for very little .. ... I even dare to say that between 5 and 6 meters! ;-)
can be two people of 1.5m height only, or 1.80m, I do not know ... but if you let me really adjust the feeling is between 4m and 5m maximum ....
Reviewing the video and especially the scene in low motion I have verified that effectively, it takes off in the almost exact distance of its own fuselage taking into account the exact point since it accelerates until it takes off the wheels, that is to say, it takes off in approximately 5 or 5 , 5m walk up foot down .... ;-D
right, 2 to 3 meters. 3.1m maximum
Mike Schmitt sorry but no... 5 aprox.... Large of plane... If the plane is 5,77m this is a distance...
It's a carrier-capable WW1 fighter :)
Fantastic Big XXXL Triple‼️
Espectacular‼️🙏👌👍
many thanks jose
José I
Gavin Waite 👋 Gavin
Awesome Vidd.. Awesome build to.. 💗💗💪💪🔥🔥
Good gravy, that was the most incredible take off I have ever seen outside of a helicopter. Beautifully crafted airplane and excellent flying skills.👍👍👍
I wish they would include video from a plane cam . i wish I had a real tri plane to fly .
How many cc has the motor please ???
What a big model !!
Awesome !
all info in the video description dom
The world record of the shortest landing in the world is in Valdez alaska with the piper super cub landing about 10 feet 5 inches
It would be interesting if the held the wing tips at full power and then released it. what a drone.
It would be cool to have this model!!! Awesome stuff!!!
thanks harald
Have you ever thought building the Wright Flyer...and fly it 3D...? Ha ha ha
I feel you might as well build a full size replica and take ppl up for rides.
Pretty cool plane.
WILL be much nicer if you fly it scale..... Nice plane...
'stall' ... what is that ?? :-)
so it seems the advantage of a tri plane is short take offs? I knew they were more maneuverable at slow speeds
mark r again didn't watch all excellent schon gut gluck
It would have been nice to see the flight from a cockpit view. It's big 'un, so a tail or pilots view go-pro would added to the filming. Great model...nice one!
If it was mine i would be that dummy in the cockpit
I’ve seen smaller ultralights.
Dude. seriously. make it just a little bit bigger than you can actually fly in it yourself!
I think he'd need a bigger prop! XD
Yeah, several kits for biplanes and triplanes from WWI are 75% or 80% for actual flight using “modern” engines, this in 65% seemed like a tease...
At 1:33, did I see one elevator up and the other down?
yes you did neil, it matches the aileron so that the model rolls quicker !
65% scale - stunning. At what point does it qualify as a plane and not a model? When someone is sat inside doing the flying?
It flies like my indoor foamy! How much does it weigh?
the prop is way way to small for engine cowl. , motor is screaming its guts out
Lily Hughes - on RC planes the props necessarily are smaller in proportion. Can't recall what the exact explanation is, however.
th-cam.com/video/y_dJfq8u1aE/w-d-xo.html is the sort of thing Lily might mean.
Incredible!
Oh .......... My .............God!!!! I want this plane. Where is it parked at night? What is the security like?
nice
Adding more wing's create better lift but how fare apart does the wings need to be at ??
no idea john
Flown by George Costanza!
Chemtrails too.
Hi I enjoyed the video. Do you have a link for the engine build or links to pictures of the engine.
👍👍👍
How can it even fly with such a small propeller. It barely clears the fuselage. Most of the power just hits the nose and would deflect sideways.
STVOL
short takeoff vertical only landing
Needs JATO to get it in the air quicker.
Gordon Bennet ! I thought there was a pilot in it at the beginning ! The take off and landing was nearly VTOL! It must be extremely light construction to do that . Did he do a spin towards the end ? I read of an American copy of the Red Barons aircraft. Where the pilot was warned not to attempt a spin , if he did do a spin it came out very easily .
spins not a problem pete, check them out here in these videos - th-cam.com/video/go_rSpJIc3g/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/rq2oYxfbDgU/w-d-xo.html
O dear the grumble police are here , it,s a fantastic plane and flown pretty good to me ok it wasnt ww1 but who cares .nice one buddie .
thanks ber
Next time, fewer stills in the opening. I was just about to click off when the footage started.
thanks scott - its my trade mark now inc pics at the end of every video, after ten yrs most people know now theres a video afterwards, you are about only the 20th person from over 127 million views that mentioned the pics at the beginning so it cant be too much of an issue i guess - regards pete, ps did you like the video ?
great model, but it MUST be in red!
Why does it have to be red? Why not in the colors of fritz kempf's triplane?
RC Menzinger Agrar&Bau yes
Because he likes red !.......lol
I LIKE the blue
Blue Max.
Why did it seem like the motor was ready to stall out the whole flight? What kind of motor is it?
