    Saw this beauty in 2015 when my son and I drove in for a visit. Bought the t-shirt!
    In 1988 I flew in and met Cole Palen who was pleasant and friendly. Great place!

    I loved visiting Old Rheinbeck as a kid in the early 70s with my family. My dad and I are still obsessed with aircraft history and scale models decades later. I need to go back!

    You Guys are really great, you are doing so fantastic things! My Albatros DV is only a model with 1,2 m wingspan, but I had the same problem: making a new spinner. In my case, the 3d-printer helped. I wish you many wonderful and successful flights with your very pretty, bavarian-style Albatros DVa, hope to meet you one time, many greetings from Bavaria (Germany), Winni

    I genuinely love the beauty of WW1 fighters. Not only that but the Germans always had beautiful paint schemes in that war. The way you guys repainted this albatross with the checkerboard white and powder blue at the rear half of the fuselage was stunning, and to leave the front wood natural aside from the white on and near the nose is fantastic. Plus I love the purple wings. The Luftsretkrafte would be proud. You guys did an amazing job.

    Amazing to think that there was once a time in human history where this was regarded with the same awe and wonderment as we now assign to the latest fighters like the F-22, Grippen, Su-27 and the like, and there's only been just over 100 years of development.

    The spinner was added to provide for a little extra speed with the original Albatros D.Va. This might have been done with the Albatros D.III. My guess is that the ORA Albatros still uses the 175 H.P. Ranger in-line 6 cyl. engine. Most of the originals were equipped with a 200 H.P. Mercedes in-line 6 cyl. engine. Other engines might have been used.

      In fact, the spinner was used from the D-l from the beginning.

    Is that a 200 hp Ranger?
    What RPM are you getting in flight?
    What size prop are you using?
    My Fokker DVII is only getting 2300rpm with a 80x44 prop.

    • @markmondello726
      @markmondello726 2 роки тому

      Yes it's a 200 ranger. We get 2000 static and about 2300 flat out in the level.
