Yes but a B*t#h to land, ground handling is different. He wants the plane nose heavy, but not too much. Rolls are interesting on mine. Check all control throws, you could be off on a wing. Use your throttle on landings and be careful when you flair. (No pun intended)

Every Fokker Dr1 hates windy days, and don't ever try to fight a crosswind on takeoffs and landings! One thing I've noticed is my Fokker Dr1 loves to weather vane in any winds over 5mph. Any multiwing aircraft that only has one wing with ailerons has a interesting roll rate, matter in fact it's terrible by most standards, and a Fokker Dr1 more so than most.

But what is really cool is when I kick her in a flat turn! Climbs like a monkey, and turns like it wants to bite its own arse. Doing loops is very good and can be done in a tight fasion. Haven't tried inverted flight yet, but I plan on doing that next year with some altitude from the ground.

I'm still in the process of seeing what my plane can do before I do mock dogfights with it at the big shows.

Here's my maiden flight of my custom rebuilt discontinued GP Fokker DR1, I only flew it once this year because of the weather we've been having up here in upstate NY. It was always windy! What was bad was winds were even gusting when I made the decision to finally fly her. I had my hands full and was glad to get her down in one piece!
