Fokker Dr.I

by Steven Perry

Kit: AerodromeRC (1:12)

Here's some shots of the Dr.I I built for a friend. It's a Bengston short kit. It is using a Himax BL in a gearbox (don't know which motor or GB) With a 1320 3 cell spinning an 11x7 prop. It draws just shy of 14 amps static at full throttle. I doubt he'll ever use full throttle. It seems mucho overpowered. OTOH it balances perfectly with no adjustments. 28 oz AUW

I used Tomasz' research and rendering of the GOTNW image. BvB says it looks like an aging Richard Pryor with horns and wings. Never seen a Dr.I with upper surface markings on the lower wings.
