That red triplane is the coolest thing I have ever seen. I love how they use aluminium frames instead of wood as it keeps build-time down and longevity. Super cool planes and company.
Great interview with the folks at Aerodrome!! Boy has he given allot of interviews or speeches about Aerodrome over the years because he has it down to a science!! No pun intended. Commonality among design & manufacturing is key to keeping cost down and profits up.
I love all of these designs! Great choice and easy to build without charging an arm and a leg, truly getting rarer and rarer in the kit built scene unfortunately.
i am considering getting a sport pilot cert for the purpose of flying WW1 planes because i love them. out of nowhere i see this video and i think this company has finally pushed me over the edge to start the process of getting my cert so i can hopefully own one of these some day. beautiful machines
I'm of the same mind. I really want to fly WWI planes and I hope this company is around for just a little longer until I can complete my pilot training.
I used to work for Stahl over in Kingsville and drove through Holden every day. Several years ago I discovered there was an airplane factory in Holden. There are a few "cow pasture" airfields in that part of MO. When I was a youngster, I got to ride with a few pilots out of grass strips. That was the best kind of flying, low and slow. There were still a lot of towns when I was a kid with the town name on the water towers. My Dad joked that IFR originally meant "I Fly Rails." That was when almost every small town was connected to a railroad track.
Great video Robert. As you, built a lot of balsa Guillows World War I kits as a child growing up. As you too,was a trade tool room machinist, and now retired. Have you thought of building a kit based on the Bristol Scout D?
Are these kits only available as Build-Yourself or is there an option to purchase them pre-assembled i.e the skeleton of the aircraft, with the fabric and paint being applied by the buyer?
Are Airdrome Aeroplanes legally considered ULTRALIGHTS or full sized General Aviation passenger aircraft? Will I need a pilot's license to fly their planes?
Bandsaws heat the metal. Have you heard of a laser cutter? It's not going to mess up the material. Plasma cutting and laser cutting are industries standards across the globe.
As far as for model kits...it seems like the French planes are the hhardest to find actual paint sets for. All the rest? Easy! I'd love to get some advice from Mr. Beaslee...if he'd oblige a model builder.
Robert Baslee you are a true gem for what you do
for the flying enthusiast
This dude is an old school treasure.
If I had the money I'd have this man build for me an SE5a. What a great look into the joy of aviation.

Outstanding show so very interesting. I think Robert is a genius very important person in our sport
Great interview. Answered a number of questions I had as well. Looking forward to more videos like this.
Amazing interview! Robert has the same spirit and passion for aviation as those who started this beautiful discipline. Congratulations!!

excellent job
GREAT !! lovely aircrafts

Would love an 103 level primary glider built like these.
Dream Classic?
the Hawker Hurricane used similar construction, as did airships
Im waiting and hoping that airdrome will make a replica albatros
I would so get that
Yes!
Are these kits only available as Build-Yourself or is there an option to purchase them pre-assembled i.e the skeleton of the aircraft, with the fabric and paint being applied by the buyer?
when will there be a full scale Fokker DVII?
💖
The website is down. I hope everything is okay with them. Cool airplanes! What's the G-load rating?
Just checked www.airdromeaeroplanes.com/ everything seems to be working.
Do any of these planes meet LSA requirements?
Yes all can be flown by a Sport Pilot.
👍👍✌️✌️🤟🤟

Dream Classic can be an Ultralight in the US. the rest are Experimental/Homebuilt.
Plasma cutting 6061 aluminium? Never heard of that. Doesn't it seriously the strength of the metal?
Bandsaws heat the metal. Have you heard of a laser cutter? It's not going to mess up the material. Plasma cutting and laser cutting are industries standards across the globe.
When are you going to design a Spad 13…80 % with a Rover V8…???
