I'm happy to see Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome still operating. I was there years ago when I lived close enough. Lots to absorb even without the air show.

My father brought me here numerous times. Miss you every day, Dad. Love You!

@joewoodchuck3824 23 часа назад

Sorry for your loss. Been there, done that.

Landing either one of those has to be... pucker inducing! But I especially marvel at the turning radius they had. Get the right wind gust and you could probably do a 180 in place!

An excellent video. It begins to give the impression of just what it was like to fly these early aircraft, and see your adversary in the sky. THANK YOU!

@kenhendricks2124 2 года назад

I have fond memories of coming to ORA with my dad when I was 10. This brings it all back. So cool to see this perspective!

@hugoaken2604 12 дней назад

My money would have to be on the Fokker with its twin synchronised guns as against the Pup's single synchronised .303 Vickers - double the chance of hitting something - although skill and luck would have been the unknowns. Nice little sideslip on final approach by the Fokker.

Whats surprising to me is how limiting the vision is by that extra wing on the Fokker...Bi wing certainly had the advantage.

way cool! Thank you for posting

My brain really struggles to put myself in that time period in such great colour as if existence was black and white or at best recoloured back then😂

@MargaretNorris-w9b 2 дня назад

Is it just me or are the ailerons on the triplane dropping on the side to which the aircraft is turning?

I love the Sopwith Pup.

How much right rudder do you need to counter the P factor? Plus is the flying attacks planned ahead or are you just doing it as you go…

@coopersrace7277 День назад

Flying any aircraft, let alone something that glides like a brick when the noise stops, would make me pucker! Alternative landing sites look almost nonexistent and they are flying low!

@jamesavery6015 День назад

That was my first thought too!

@fpvdogfight 2 года назад

When the Dridecker lined up the Pup in between the guns, that gave me goose bumps🤩. Interesting that Dridecker engine has very rugged throaty sound vs. Pup’s smooth wind noise. Is it merely recording difference? Or do the engines actually sound so different?

@mourauxxavier5680 2 года назад

It could be recording difference but I believe the DR1 has a modern engine (Rotax ?) while the Pup may have an original rotary engine.

@fpvdogfight 2 года назад

@@mourauxxavier5680 if that’s true then fascinating how an old rotary engine sounds so much quieter than a modern rotax engine. Are you sure it’s not the other way around?

@mourauxxavier5680 2 года назад

@@fpvdogfight I just notice that there are links in the description for more details on both planes on the Old Rhinebeck website. The Dr1 has a 220hp Continental radial engine. It's about twice the power of the original rotary so probably the reason for more noise.

@fpvdogfight 2 года назад

@@mourauxxavier5680 Thanks for looking up the info. That makes perfect sense now. Cheers!

@OldRhinebeckAerodrome 2 года назад

@@fpvdogfight Yes our Sopwith Pup has an 80HP LeRhône 9C rotary and our Triplane has a 220HP Continental stationary radial engine. This video was filmed with GoPros so there also is a good amount of wind noise that may be affecting the sound of the engines.

I thought these old planes didn't have throttles...

I’d love to know how much of the flight was a demonstration and how hard they were genuinely dogfighting. I watched a video recently that said the DR1 had a hard time against the Camel and that the DR1’s wing design gave them an unexpected advantage with the wing design. See the link below. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zELul8q0HjM.htmlsi=ZOgPVPMZ_3k_2gWo

Altitude is your friend unless you have acrophobia.

@joejody7814 8 дней назад

Superb video! The camera mount gives a true perspective that the simulators all fail at. Would be interesting to know the secret to this pilots eye view. I liked the tail low take off in the camel.

Try using IL2 Flying Circus with a VR headset and it looks exactly like this!

@cavu22 2 года назад

The DR1 ailerons appear to work backwards....

@po1ly414 9 месяцев назад

It’s called overbanking: in a turn, the outside wing moves faster and therefore creates more lift. The pilot must use alierons opposite to the turn to counteract this effect. For most airplanes, they are built to be naturally stable and will therefore naturally return to level, counteracting this overbanking tendency. The DR1 was made to be a fighter and, to aid in maneuverability, was made naturally unstable requiring constant corrections to keep level in order to roll faster when it needs to.
