WORLD’S LARGEST FOKKER DR-1 RC SCALE PLANE / Faszination Modellbau Friedrichshafen 2016 

he's World Champion F3a, you may know.

Best RC pilot I have seen - hands down - amazing!! Then when you see how big that bad boy is at the end........wow!

you know he’s a great pilot when he doesn’t move!

The best

Of course. He’s the Red Baron!

Air-headed Aviator can’t really blame him for touching a wingtip on landing, the fokker is very sensitive to any wind. Even experienced full size Dr1 pilots have a hard time not tipping the wings on landing, the modified axe handles on the real Dr1s bottom wing serve a purpose.

@@konigspanther6241 Uh, and it was an unpowered landing.

These landings are typical most of them are tipping over so it's no pilot isuue

Incredible skills on show here❤

That and he had no goggles.

Curse you, Red Baron!!

@Prestallar codez He's a cartoon? Oh no! My life is over!

@Prestallar codez I know.

Snoopy needs a Camel, to the same scale!

S Tho Wright Brothers >Insert edgy Santos Dumont comment, bcuz RU-vid, lol

That's what I was thinking! I mean, this thing is certainly impressive, but if you're going to build something that big, why not just build it full scale and fly in it yourself?

gjm1953 - I always see this unoriginal comment on giant scale videos. RC pilots fly RC because they like the challenge and experience. Not because we want to fly full scale. RC planes can also do things no full scale could dream of doing.

building a large scale RC is NOT the same as a human piloted aircraft, the regulation alone are voluminous for manned aircraft, as it should be. the maneuvers you just watched would fold up a normal manned fokker unless it was in the several hundred thousand dollar range.

cant just be me who finds it to be like a childish hobby dont get me wrong but watching a smaller version of something do whacky stunts and cool ass spins and barrel rolls is just boring being in the air is a different application to driving on the ground but id much rather go round a track circuit instead of taking an rc car to a shit miniature track.

Chretze just need to make sure that the focker could withstand your weight

My impression was that it behaved like a silly Fokker.

SR-71.

oh fok

The one that bombed our chip shop in the war !!

That was no bomber but a single seater fighter plane ,dude!

Scott Thompson death from above, you're under fire stained red as blood he's roaming higher

No he didn't

I dont think so, i think he's dead in 2014

@@giorgiocaron9121 The Red Baron died age 25... So no he didn't die in 2014

Yall dont get the joke do you?

@@aldrichtan6918 I was replying to Giorgio who said the Red Baron died in 2014. But he died on a battle.

it's flying 3d ha not really comparable to the real deal

Yes it does

Power to weigh ratio far exceeds the real plane

@@williamdrabble8781 That I believe. By 1 or 2 orders of magnitude?

@@williamdrabble8781 I wonder what this one might be? The Dr.1 was roughly 8:1

Liberty Wagon lol yeeeees!

or a dog, whichever is easer

Haha that would be awesome but I don't think being arrested for child endangerment is worth the ad revenue :P

How about a midget?

Na, midgets just have tiny legs and arms, they got normal sized torsos and massive heads, so probably wouldn't work

Trolls like you copy and paste the same old tired comment on every large-scale RC plane video and typical idiots like your comment. THEN why don't you spend the money and hundreds of hours getting your full-size replica plane legal to fly and risk your life flying it in front of spectators not willing to pay much money???

@@riproar11 Chill out man

@@riproar11 It was just a fun comment. Had a bad day mate?

@@riproar11 Strange, this is the first time I saw anything like this RC thing, and I decided to write the exact same comment, for fun, until scrolling down noticing that, obviously, someone beat me to it...

Because the weight of the human and it's required safety features make it much less maneuverable and greatly reduce how cool the tricks look.

RC MEDIA WORLD i like RCs and all, but these big ones annoy the hell outta me, because He couldve ordered a full size kit, and built a legit replica for the same price

@@granddukeofmecklenburg And then all he needs is the pilots license which doesnt cost anything at all, not anything at all, and the renewals, and the inspection of the aircraft etc. Yeah just cool beans all of it, no issues what so ever there, especially when you read about WW1 replicas at theaerodrome and forums like that. LOL

@@ToreDL87 you just crashed your RC in a ditch...rebuild time

He COULDVE ordered a full size kit, and built a legit replica for the same price

That is why they were made, maneuverability over speed. But many allied aircraft could not climb as fast as the dreidecker, except another dreidecker! Which is why the allied forces made them too!

@@jeffreyyoung4104 To correct you, the Fokker Triplane design was taken from that of the British Sopwith Triplane

@@kylestrainspotting1997I can't answer that question as to who did what, and when, but what I read about early aircraft, everyone tried all of the many different designs, and the bi and tri planes had the best lift over mono wing aircraft, and that was due to engine power, and overall speed of the aircraft. Had they had an engine that could perform and weigh less than what they had, they may have used mono winged aircraft due to the less air drag and lower weight. But since they had low power engines, and they needed fast lift in order to out maneuver the other aircraft, they did what they had to do to get the job done.

@@jeffreyyoung4104 Maybe do some research then you'll find that the Sopwith Triplane was the first Triplane Aircraft

If you click on you will see that the plane is scaled at 1:1,5 and the engine is a 7 cylinder 800cc radial.

Thanks for the info. Exceptional in all aspects, especially the fine camera work to showcase it all!
