Beautiful and most incredible thing is that I totally envy you for flying this gorgeous lady. Actually this is the first aircraft of Mongolia and we consider Junker F13 started Mongolian aviation history. Next year we will celebrate our 100th year and it would be almost surreal if some one flies this next May over Mongolia.
Oh, what a nice surprise! The F 13 is such a pioneering aircraft-it’s almost unbelievable that it’s a 1919 aircraft, when one sees its contemporaries. Thanks for making and sharing! 👍
Any plans for enclosed cockpit variants in the future? Does it have accessible cargo compartment behind the cabin? Is there gravity fuel tank at the rear like the original?
Insisting on keeping this open cockpit seems pretty darn stupid...There are times when authenticity is just choosing to make yourself uncomfortable and your life unnecessarily difficult.
It’s kinda what separates the bad asses from the whimps. To each their own. I’d absolutely love to fly in both the front and back of this plane. You don’t have to fly in an open cockpit aircraft if you don’t want to.
@@ErikJohnston Having part of my flight training in a DH-82 Tiger Moth, I can speak of experience in both. A nice sunny day in an open cockpit is a joy. A cold, wet and windy day in an open cockpit, particularly if you are flying cross country for hours at a time, flying low to observe landmarks to navigate, with your vision being obscured by cloud, rain, or snow, without modern flight aids like GPS, relying on map reading and dead reckoning, is very unpleasant, and downright scary. This was the norm when they were in service, when you consider that these, and related Junkers aircraft such as the W33, and W34 did a lot of bush flying in Australia, Alaska, Canada , South America and in New Guinea. I would rather run naked around a cactus garden than be flying a Junkers F-13 in the New Guinea highlands in lousy weather with 1920s instruments. They might be painfully pulling cactus thorns from your "family jewels" for months after the first experience, but your chances of survival of the second encounter, are far, far less.
@@bjolie78 True enough. However - weather can change pretty quickly, and unpredictably sometimes, which is why forecasts get it wrong so often. I would probably have a canopy made that you could fit the same way you do a hard top on a convertible sports car. I know they did this modification on Tiger Moths, particularly in Canada. That way you would be able to get more use out of a fairly sizeable investment...!😁
What a wonderful walkaround! This machine was really ahead of its time.
I can only imagine the experience of flying and being a passenger in one of these 100 years ago. Amazing aircraft

👌🏻
A beauty, a legend.
Much appreciated.
Very welcome
This aircraft looks so good with the radial engine
That would be a fun ride in the cockpit. Thanks for sharing.
Great walk around! You know how to pick'em!! Look forward to the next one.

Another excellent walk around Erik! Thank you!
I'm glad you posted a walkaround of this aircraft. I saw it in the other video and wanted to know more about it.
Mr. Hartmann introduces the F13 best!
Totally beautiful aircraft
What a neat piece of history
Thank you, another great video.
Great work I enjoyed this.
Excellent video! Thanks
Awesome aircraft!

I flew for the first time there a while ago, great museum; did you meet the guy who made the zeppelin model?
Another great walkaround of a very interesting airplane, thanks Erik!! Question: was this your first trip to OSH? Betting it won't be your last...
❤excelent Replica
Wow just...wow
What year is this reproduction? The ones I saw (originals) from the 20s and early 30s, the seats faced the front of the airplane and had no seatbelts.
Lovely
Forget the Piper Saratoga….gimme one of these for my family cruiser
Dual brake calipers on each wheel?
Interesting. Was that design choice made for redundancy of some sort?
Very nice Plane...
Was this the flight simulator model?
Based on cockpit - probably yes.

That Fuel Pump looks awfully easy to mistake with the Mags, or to just accidentally swipe ignition off.
Doesn’t look right with a radial

You wouldn't fly a replica if the weather is bad
