Giant XXL RC TRIPLANE // Giant Fokker Dr. 1 [HD] 

I just showed this to my 91 year old grandfather, he loved it! He grew up in the 20s and 30s reading about First World War fighter aces and would watch the occasional barnstormer come by a local air field near his house. He built model planes and kites as a hobby. He wanted to join the US Air Corps in the Second World War but was colorblind so he ended up in the infantry. He still ended up taking flying lessons after the war and built RC planes with his son later on. This video is amazing and he really enjoyed it! Bravo!

Great flight. Manfred von Richthofen would be proud.

Everything about this is world class. The pilot, the plane. The setting. Thank you for sharing.

The skill required to fly a plane of that size, that low to the ground, with such maneuvers, is simply mind boggling!~

Beautiful plane with a talented pilot!

Beautiful plane and an incredible flying demonstration by the pilot!

Beautiful aircraft and great flying skills. Dude hung it on the prop a couple of times, sideways down the runway and stalled in a giant u-turn. Got faith in that motor, that's for sure. Very nice to watch.

I clicked on this video because of the Fokker DR.1, and was amazed by it's size, and by the skill displayed by its pilot. I was equally amazed by the absolutely picturesque landscape that this flying field is located in! Absolutely gorgeous!

That side slipping at 3:00 is very telling. I've heard about it but it really looks extraordinary.

This redefines RC flying. Supurb! A Nobel Prize for the designer/pilot.

Very nice flying in such a small footprint

The DR-1 caught my eye as a child, I still love it. This one is the best so far.

And folks this is how it's done. He is an outstanding builder and flyer.

Nothing against the pilot at all but; the size of the wings and tail rudder effect the amount of turn you can inflict on the plane. It flys so slow that the wing surfaces just push the plane around. Very beautiful to watch.

Quite simply, the BEST RU-vid video EVER!

I don't know which is better, the beautiful plane or the scenery it flying in. Beautiful country!

Gernot Bruckmann is a god! The Red Baron is proud where ever he may be...

I fly my venetian blind the same way, only thing is, mine is only 55inch wingspan, and cost about the same this gent would have spent on the bolts to hold his wheels on.....VERY IMPRESSIVE machine, and suberb flying, this one video has almost made up for over 10 years of RU-vid shit i have sat through. Thank You

Absolutely GORGEOUS aircraft there...!!! :)

I'd always heard the Red Baron was capable of keeping his guns trained on opposing planes for a really, really long time. Gernot's flying talent gives an excellent visual as to how it could have looked. Wow! What a demonstration!

What an amazing plane! I can't even begin to imagine the time and money that went into building it!

Impressive model.

Bad Ass flying skills!! You had me on the edge of my seat a few times!

*What a handsome little FOKKER!* It looks FULL SIZE flying around.Never seen one this big.

IMPRESSIVE and i rarely watch RC [ now,, back to the hanger!]

Wow!!!!! There are people who make rc of madness!! Brilliant!!

That slow speed makes flying soooooo easy, I wish my 800mm would fly so slow and so easily. A great demo.

Aerobatics old school. Great flight, cool aircraft.

I AGREE with Michael Donavon and I'm at 66! and I will add that is one GREAT LOOKING PLANE my friend!.......keep up the great work and thanks for sharing the video!

Wow! Impressive, could put a kid in there...

WoW! Herr Bruckmann is an incredibly good pilot!!!!!!!!!

Ich hab in 25 Jahren Flugmodellbau schon viele schöne Modelle gesehen aber die DRI übertrifft sie alle! Mehr als erstklassig gebaut und ebenso vorgeflogen! Macht Spaß zuzusehen! 5*****

One of the best pilots I've ever seen and a great plane !!! Congratulations! Very good video!

my grandson and I thoroughly enjoyed this

.. unbeliveable .. nice aeroplane, great pilot, everything on the minimal flying height, super ... I have to write it here ..

No doubt a very skilled pilot...! And a beautiful tri wing giant.. I have seen so many German videos of bi planes, triplanes, and countless others, but this beauty takes the cake...! I wish this pilot lots more luck in future flights, and hopefully many more giants for us to see...! I should not have said luck because this is not luck flying these beautiful behemoths, but pure pilot skill..! Which in this video you will undoubtedly see for your self...!

Unbelivable plane, unbelievably good pilot.

amazing....must be 1/3 scale, great piloting and aerobatics....great video, big thumbs up!!!

Unbelievable!!! At 2:58 I realized this guy may know what he's doing. Nothing short of amazing talent and confidence! Thank you.

Wow what a pilot. If the engine in the real aircraft was as powerful is it any wonder that the Red Baron was such an ace. A real privelage to see such a wonderful model and flying, thanks for posting.

MAJESTIC! No wonder the Red Barron had so many kills - that thing could out maneuver a humming bird.

Hard to believe that is a model.!!! Excellent pilot!!!!

Wunderschön, erstaunlich wie viel Auftrieb diese 3 Flügel bringen, Tolles Model !

Hell ... Increase the size about 50% and you could get in it... Beautiful work....Masterful flying!

Outstanding model, and an outstanding pilot!

Wow...just wow.

unreal, deepest respect

Der Baron hat sich damals bestimmt solche Kraftreserven gewünscht. ;-) Tolles Modell, tolles Video!

Congratulation Mr. Richthofen would be proud to see such a beautiful ride.

Thats a very awesome red plane sir , brings back memories from my grandfather Charles chuck Pierce, in the garage it looked like a red Porsche or Ferrari as i was proud to see it 👨‍🍳 he had a hand for planes ,kinda a hobby that he had ! God bless us all ,amen

At the end, with the one wheel touch-n-go, now you're just showing off!! Awesome.

It's great to see a model aircraft that actually appears to be flying to scale and does not behave as though it has a thousand horsepower engine nailed to its nose. Well done and may it fly for many years.

Fantastic is all I can say...Thank You

He makes it look effortless. What a beautiful plane and awesome set of skills.

That is the finest scale model I have ever seen... flys at scale speed too.... doesn't get much better than that... there are faster and larger, but that is about as good as giant scale gets....

That is awesome,what a great show it put on.I kept waiting for Snoopy on his Sopwith Camel doghouse to come flying into the picture.

Truly beautiful

That's practically a real one! :D

Melhor de todos, a melhor apresentação... sem igual

That was truly the absolute best tri flight i have ever seen! ! just awesome!

WOW that's an incredible model and even more incredible pilot! Gotta admit those are the most extraordinary extremely low level aerobatics I think I've ever seen. Again, WOW!

Wonderful.

This is the best RC flight I have seen to date. Absolutley terrific flight !!

Beautiful scenery of the mountains brings heightens the romanticism of flying by the seat of your pants multi wing flying.

Fabulous plane and beautifully flown.

I watch it and I think it's a great show, then I realize this: he is just getting warmed up... the show just gets better and better, and finishes with a perfect landing, surrounded by a beautiful countryside setting. Super Spaß, Danke schön for posting this!! :-)

Danke für das tolle Video, nicht jeder hat die Gelegenheit sich solche Veranstaltungen live an zu schauen. Eine tolle Maschine und eine noch exellenterer Pilot, der den Titel World Champion zu recht tragen darf. Die Flugmanöver sollte man aber nicht unbedingt dem Flugzeug zuschreiben, den solche Kunststücke gelingen dem Herrn Gernot Bruckmann auch mit anderen " Fliegern " !!!! siehe unter You tube, Gernot Bruckmann

Agree !!! " what an excellent video...that pilot has amazing skills...awesome Aircraft "

What a great model and unbelievable flying skills!

Brilliant, what fantastic flying.

Is a beautiful color Awesome flying

Awesome plane and superb pilot skills! Thumbs up!

Very nice aircraft and a great display. I think the model flies a little better than the original DR1 would have, but it is lovely to watch.

A wonderful aircraft, and excellently flown.

Love it, thank you for your dedication. The flying skills of the pilot are just as impressive as the Aerocraft, nice combination. Beautiful engine, thank goodness somebody is building radial engines, sweet. Thanks again mate.

That was some really fine flying! Beautiful aircraft. Thank you.

Most definitely one of the biggest RC plane I have ever seen!! Beautiful "Red Baron!" :-)

Giggle giggle ! SO COOL ! REALLY SOO KEWLLLL !

Very skilled pilot !

He is very good. He knows very well the characteristics of his model.

That Pilot has got some serious skills

VERY BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!!!!!

WOW! Great plane, Great Flying, and Great video. It all came together is this, a feat rarely done! Congratulations!

Espectacular . No será un poquito grande 😆👍👍👍

Amazing model, fantastic flying.

I would say it a beautiful presentation, that teaches me ,that i would be sweating and praying that all goes good , i haven't started yet , i know ill be professional, but im sure with my 41 years ther is going to be some awesome beginning videos to share, thank you for your service, amen

The little barn on the Runway, this is crazy!!

Wow! Der ist ganz schön groß!!!

Beautiful airplane and great flying skills. Love the Dr. 1

An incredible amount of lift allows this fine RC aircraft to just wallow through the air. Very cool.

Amazing flying demonstration with a DR-1 =) Very nice!

Just saw this: imagine the people driving past when he hi- alpha's a triplane "Gott im himmel !!!!!" screech of brakes, crunch !! Totally astounding great vid

That is some daring flying that low to the ground with such a giant scale masterpiece!! very nice performance indeed!

Way cool ' I have always loved just the BI plaines ' but this try plain is just way too cool . Thumbs up to you man Jimmie R

Maravilhoso modelo. parabéns pelo voo!!!!!

Seriously thought there was going to be some "Barn Storming".....any less of a pilot and that would have been in kit form. Well done, awesome everything...L = (1/2) d v2 s CL x 3 !

That is just amazing !!!! Incredible handling skills, well done:-)

Einfach Fantastisch wie Gernot diese "Kiste" fliegt

Gernot Bruckmann, a world class pilot...
