Title: March To Victory - Věda a technologie
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.🤔
An absolute pleasure. The joy of flight, and of course, precision craftsmanship. The pilot(s! ) were magnificent until the end.
Is it 1/2 scale
The absolute best display of flying skills I have ever seen! Absolutely incredible! Congratulations from across the pond!
Holy cow that engine started so fast. The plane looks full scale. Such a beautiful machine
Those slow rolls were just cool! It's like watching the real thing! Beautiful plane and display, excellent work as always Horst. Congrats to Gernot
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!
Kevin Wells _Thank you for your kind comments, Kevin. I'm very glad to know that you liked the video !_
Emil Cost *_thanks ! ! !_*
Monika Ciegowski
Monika ..... I agree with you totally ..... :)
Definitely!!
You need to get out more....🤔😳😏🇬🇧🇬🇧
Fantastic flying. He didn't hold back at all. You captured it very well Horst!

Fancy seeing you here!
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!!!
Beautifully crafted aircraft and the most excellent R/C flying I have ever seen. Many kudos to you sir.👍👍👍👏👏👏
_Thank you for the compliment, Charles. Much appreciated !!!_ 👍😉
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!!
Well said! Thank you for your kind comment which we really appreciate !!!
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 !
Excellent piloting of this amazing (and huge) model.
Thanks for sharing Horst, the video was awesome!
Thumbs up!
Cheers, Bob 😎
TripleThreatRC _Hello brother of another mother. Thank you very much for the compliments._
Finally I was able to make a video of Gernot's Fokker at best weather conditions.
Glad to know that you like the video. Have a nice weekend Bob 😎
That man is no aeromodeller! He's an artist! Superb flying Herr Bruckman.
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!
Modeling & model flying at its best. Thanks for posting.
robert groves _Thank you for your kind comments._
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!
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
This is the best RC Plane and Pilot I have ever seen. Not only the plane is beautifully made but the skills of the pilot are absolutely amazing!
Superb , touch and go , rolls and loops , immelman turns , marvellous 👍🇬🇧
Thanks. Glad you liked it 👍😉
This is the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. Thank you!
WHAT AN OUTSTANDING AIRPLANE IS THIS FOKKER DR 1, HARD TO BELIEVE ITS ONLY A MODEL
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 !
Man and machine in perfect harmony, utterly brilliant! Thank you for sharing.
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.
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!
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!
Synthya Wylder _Thank you for your kind comments. Much appreciated!_
DAM I thought he was going to climb in...ITS HUGE! this dude has obviously been flying for a while...awesome maneuvers. WELL DONE!.
Best piloting i've ever seen! Great work on the model also, thanks for sharing, enjoyed
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!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it anyway 🤙😎
Well! this is just brilliant; held my interest and I don't even watch RC aircraft flying. The little guy sat in the plane did a superb job. A lovely thing.... well done that man.
WOW just incredible! 2022 and still SO epic. (And love the German accented commentary in the background too haha, very fitting )
The Red Baron lives again. Great flying. I really enjoyed this video. Superb model, with great detail.
Thanks again! 🤙😎
Absolutely excellent model, a superb display and a first class pilot.
Derek Wood _Thank you for your kind comments. Much appreciated !_
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.
Absolutely brilliant. The only thing missing to my mind is no sound of machine guns firing.
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.
Great show !!! I really like the way the figurine pilot looks like the rc pilot
Thank you very much!
Unbelievable!! The best model airplane video I've ever seen. Great skills and beautiful plane!!
'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🧐!!!
Thanks. Glad you liked it 👍😉
Anybody else catch themselves holding their breath? Such skillfull piloting of a beautiful aircraft.
Extremely impressive flying and build as well. One of the best
Incredible flying! Amazing how it can completely hang on the prop!
Amazing - I remember building balsa airplanes with smaller Cox .049 engines back when I was a kid. Outstanding - thanks for posting!
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 !_*
Remember them, well 😊!!!
Thank you, excellent video! I hope Red Baron see it and proud!
Владимир Сыропятов *_Thank you for your kind comments ! ! !_*
That was a superb demonstration of flying. I like the model as well but the skill with which it was flown was the real star here.
What a lovely little Focker! Amazing model and incredible flying skills.
That was absolutely amazing!
Great video and great flying! This is the best RC video that I have seen yet!
Stunning aircraft, stunning performance and highly talented pilot! Hats off!
Unreal awesomeness. Both on the build of the aircraft and the pilot.
That was GREAT!!!! Thank you
Dennis Brooks *_Thanks ! ! !_*
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.
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!
Потрясающая модель, захватывающий пилотаж! Классное видео, спасибо!
Beautiful tri-plane
Amazing outstanding pilot
Display was thought provoking
Combined it was the best I've ever seen, thank you for sharing 👏applause 👏
It was so majestic and easy looking. A beautiful craft and a great pilot!
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 !!!_ 🤙😎
Beautifully presented. BRAVO!!
what can I say but WOW bird and pilot are one thank you for sharing this
Our pleasure!
That is flying, spectacular, thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it.
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 !
OK - been to RC shows, seen lots of videos -- THIS plane and "pilot" win hands down. One-man air show, for sure. Amazing
WIE GEIL IST DAS DENN?!?! Absoluter Wahnsinn.
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+++ !!!
A bit creepy actually
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
Steve
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
Beautiful model, amazing piloting skills and and RC aircraft large enough to climb in and fly it yourself!
Fantastic model and flying.
Beautifully flown.
Great video and a. GREAT PILOT!
👏👏👏, Outstanding !!! beautiful aircraft,and great flying !!!
no wonder why there were such formidable aircraft to fight against
Absolutely awesome display!
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.🤔🤔
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
ZdrytchX -{Reference *_time has changed enormously._* 😎
Best I have ever seen. Absolutely beauful plane and controller is incredibly talented. This is world class.
When this guy shows up at the fly ins all of the other guys just hang their heads.
Excellent model and a skillful pilot!
You're right. Gernot is a excellent pilot and a multiple world champion. 😎
The best model and the best pilot I've seen on the Tube. Wonderful low altitude performance worthy of a full scale professional airshow. Fabulous!
Thank you for your kind comment which I really appreciate. 👍👍👍
@@RCScaleAirplanes You deserve it. Thank you for entertaining us so marvelously.
@@Glicksman1 Thanks again 🤗👍🏼
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.
Thank you for your kind comment which I really appreciate. Glad you enjoyed it 🤙😉
@@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. 😊
Sauber wirklich gut geflogen da kommt die Beweglichkeit richtig zur Geltung!!! RESPEKT!!!!!
Fantastisch, brilliant geflogen 👍👍👍🇩🇪🇩🇪
I love this video and what an amazing pilot!
Next size up is a real plane, Wow Great job on this, I love it.
Holy crap! This is ART !!
Stunning plane and flying!😘
Thanks a lot!
💛
An absolute masterpiece and credit to the constructor.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING !!!
MANY THANKS !!!
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
Excellent plane and awesome flying. That motor sure started easy.
i really like that plane and that model!!! great work dude!
That engine runs beautiful !
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.
Beautiful plane and expert flying. Congrats.
Damn good pilot on the controls. With a beautiful Aircraft.
papaike2 _I agree ... Thank you for your kind comments._
👀 What !!! 820 cc !!!
It's a Real Monster !!
Awesome , congratulations 👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you for your kind comment. 👍
That was COOL. Thank You.
Glad you liked it!
A very skilled pilot to do all that from the ground with RC cheers from New Zealand
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!!
Beautiful plane and a great pilot!
Don't know which I liked the best the model or the sheer professional expertise of the person piloting it!
Wow! Incredible! The Red Baron himself would be awestruck by this!
Took off in no time and got better and better!
