That is a magnificent airplane, just beautiful and spectacular. One of my favorite aircraft of all time. Fantastic pilot too. Wonderful demonstration of precision flying. Very daring I might add. I was expecting a pile of splinters any second if the wing stalled, but no, both pilot and triplane took it well flying on the very thin edge of the aerodynamic envelope. Majestic in every way. Very few r/c demonstrations equal this one. Thanks for sharing. Oh, almost forgot to mention that beautiful engine and sound. Very delightful. The smoke system made a nice touch as well. I was happy that other r/c pilots remained quiet in respect for this grand demonstration and audio.
_Thank you for your great comment, which I really appreciate._ On airshows only one aircraft is flying. Except formation flights. The only what can ruin the demonstration flight can be playing music, or continued voice of the announcer. _Cheers, RCSA_ 😉👍
That was my first thoughts as well! Absolutely gorgeous Fokker DR.I It’s hard for a lot of people to understand how much time and effort it takes to build something like that. Excellent airmanship as well. If you know a really good machinist maybe you can help him build you an actual Oberursel Ur.II engine.🤔
The most awesome HUGE tri wing model and piloting skills I ever saw. I LOVE the big and slow stuff, it looks more real scale up there. And the right photographer skills, all 3 came together perfecto!!!
MVR would be far beyond only proud. Superlative flying. Mad respect to the pilot, courage beyond compare too. Thanks to all involved with presenting this. Spectacular!!
Without doubt, the most beautiful warbird ever made! And the pilot isn't too shabby either. Congratulations on your plane, and thank you so much for the video.I am really happy to have seen it. Bravo!
Excellent piloting indeed. Someone that knows how to use the rudder. Too often we see big, expensive models crash because the RC-pilot does not have a basic understanding of what the rudder is meant for. Brilliant flying !
Superb flying! 3:27 I bet that slip is so difficult to do not to mention the "stand still" attempt at 4:06. You could see the control surfaces going crazy. Good job to who ever is in the controls
Unbelievable model and what an awesome pilot you are! The Red Baron would be proud of your machine and your flying skills. He'd also be wanting to have a full scale replica of you DR-I to fly it himself! Cheers.
A tribute to the builder, & the original design, & of course, the pilot! Thanks also to the power of that engine, it takes lots of it to do those incredible acrobatics, & the superb ability & skill of the one flying it. Fantastic!
I knew that the original (1:1) Fokker Dr I triplane was very maneuverable (and still is, e.g. the replica flown by Mikael Carlson on different airshows), but this even tops it by "shifting" and nearly standing still in the air, almost like a helicopter. Marvelous!
I cant believe how much control response there is o this aeroplane, even at just wind speed, an amazing display, and really well captured for us by you Horst, many thanks for posting this !
Simply awesome.. The plane, the pilot, the camera quality, the camera work.. All of it great. One of the best RC airplane vids I've ever seen on youtube.
Stunned!!! This was just autoplaying in my feed, so started watching after it took off, and thought it was a restored or recreated Real Fokker, until I realized it was RC... WOW! amazing fun!!!!
beltonian _Yes. Time in building Rc planes has changed enormously. They become bigger and bigger every time._ It's a shame that scale planes with a wingspan of 100" already seems to be small. *_Thank you for your kind comments !_*
This is just STUNNING! Absolutely BEAUTIFUL! The clouds on a blue sky sunny day are the perfect backdrop. Why aren't schools bringing children out to these shows? I'll take a model plane over a drone. This is a great Christmas gift idea.
Julian Easton _Thank you for your kind comments._ I was thinking of making some artificial sound effects on warbirds, but it takes too much time to realise it. Maybe I can do it one day.
Well, to keep it brief, if I were looking from the distance I would have thought it was an original full size plane! What a beautiful replica and flight characteristics. This is a real gem and enjoy to watch.
A really wonderful flying model, even SOUNDS like the real thing, thanks for showing, and flying.Wunderbar!..... I was quite fortunate, to see, a real one fly at the RHEINBECK AIRDROME, IN RHEINBECK NY, back in the late 1960s, the owner had MANY antique, flying, and static. Those planes were in the movie" '' ITS A MAS MAD MAD WORLD". Thanks again !
You know when you are sitting watching these types of videos and you catch yourself smiling, You know this is really good stuff. Dang... I need to get one of these. LOL. Awesome job, great plane, impressive flying Gernot!
Countless superb accolades, all well earned. Has anyone noticed that Gernot Bruckmann even modeled HIMSELF as the model's pilot ??? !!! The crowning touch to this stunning machine. A+++ !!!
Horst, I could watch that all day long.....amazing! Who needs a helicopter or even a hot-air balloon when you can fly one of these instead; very cool! Cheers, Dougal
One of the most authentic scale models of this iconic aircraft. It flies so beautiful and looks like it could go airborne with an actual person pilot, not demeaning the skills of it's radio control pilot who is a real person, just meaning the plane looks capable of carrying a person.
@@RCScaleAirplanes It reminds me of the Von Richthofen, the Red Baron and the WWI dogfights. Thank you for sharing. It must have taken a lot of time and love and I'm sure a little pile of hard earned cash of course but you honestly did a great job!👍
@@waynegilchrist1596 Well ... but you have to know that I'm "only" be the guy behind the scenes. 🤗😉 Many of the pilots are also producing models and they keep their airplanes for a year or so before they are selling them. Thanks again for your kind comment. 😊
I am absolutely amazed at how nimble this bird is for the size. Low stall speed, and handles beautifully. Nice quiet motor, and it sounds like he never really wound it up very high.
This guy is the greatest RC pilot in the world! And his plane is fantastic! What a pair. With this plane and pilot he would win any kind of contest for stunt flying or anything except speed!
A perfectly beautiful day for flying. After careful consideration though, I'm unsure what the most spectacular feature of the performance was. Was it the exquisite handling of the RC craft? The exquisite flying ability of the pilot; or the almost unnoticed and incredible skill of the videographer capturing each millisecond of action so flawlessly? I'd have to say that it was a miraculous combination of all three!!
It's just astonishing, the appearance of very large scale RC models in recent years. I have nothing more to add to the complimentary comments that others have already submitted here. _Except one:_ Why, oh why, did you not implement this as a rotary, not a radial, engine?! Is there some mechanical limitation of the engine itself? Fighting counter-torque and gyroscopic effect, as WW1 pilots had to do, would have been very realistic flight characteristics, indeed! _Actually,_ two _comments:_ You are the only one(s) to have thought of a "dashing" silk neck scarf streaming in the wind. Well done!
The largest rotary motor I know for RC models is made by Armin de Vries. It has 340 cc and is unfortunately much too small for this big Fokker DR1. _Thank you for your great comment, which I really appreciate !!!_ 🤙😎
Wow what a beast! You couldn't ask for an easier starting radial.😁 Maybe he just got lucky, but that Valach 820 was idling almost before he got his hand off the prop! Size helps too. The larger the engine, the more predictable it's going to be with starting and running.😉👍
Just a century a go engineers were struggling to get these to perform satisfactory, and now we have guys remotely flying these for fun with much higher self-relative performance
Outstanding looking and flying! The only change I would make is to put goggles on the pilot - would stand out and look far more real, as nobody would fly an open cockpit plane with no eye protection. Excellent video.
'Urnst Udett', would be flabbergasted!! The nicest WWl plane, RC demonstration, I have EVER witnessed!! SUPERB👍😁!!!! Beautiful model, realistic in every way, and would take a model virtuoso to know, just that, it's a model🧐!!!
HUGE!! Amazing plane, and amazing motor too. A dwarf pilot could do well in that. Take off is almost immediate :) Can't begin to decide how much money is buried in that! Fabulous flight... very nicely done... even inverted low pass, wow.
ChrisB257 _Hello Chris._ Yes ... this one is a very big bird. I don't have an idea about the costs, but it's easy to g00gle for it. 😎 _Thank you for your great comments, full of compliments. Much appreciated!_ Cheers, Horst
Amazing, the model lifted off in not much more than its own length at modest RPM, obviously has much more power than it needs. Plenty of thrust for takeoff with that big prop even at mid RPM. Looks like a beautiful job, well done.
Great airplane and great pilot. I would cry if it ever crashed, and all that work ruined. Fantastic flying and maneuvers. I would love to see this plane do an Immelmann.

Is it 1/2 scale
@@RCScaleAirplaneswho makes this large engine??
Superb , touch and go , rolls and loops , immelman turns , marvellous 👍🇬🇧
Thanks. Glad you liked it 👍😉
Holy cow that engine started so fast. The plane looks full scale. Such a beautiful machine
I'm sorry if I overdo this, and perhaps I'm naive, but this is one of the best model plane video's I have ever seen. Congrats to Gernot. What a show!

Amazing outstanding pilot

Combined it was the best I've ever seen, thank you for sharing 👏applause 👏
some excellent Werner Voss maneuvers and acrobatics, great job ! 😎
As skilled as Werner Voss was I don't think a real DR1 in his capable hands would have been able to perform some or most of those manouvers.🤔🤔
no wonder why there were such formidable aircraft to fight against

Great show !!! I really like the way the figurine pilot looks like the rc pilot
Thank you very much!
Great video and great flying! This is the best RC video that I have seen yet!
WHAT AN OUTSTANDING AIRPLANE IS THIS FOKKER DR 1, HARD TO BELIEVE ITS ONLY A MODEL
That was Awesome! And that radial motor is to die for. I would much rather see this, than a Extra or Edge any day of the week!! Bravo Gernot, Bravo!
A very skilled pilot to do all that from the ground with RC cheers from New Zealand
