If you put a 26cc in this plane, When you hit the throttle the Plane would stay there, And the Engine and firewall will take off, A good 60 would fly it, I'm using a ST.75 and moved all the servo's up front w/Ni-rods, That will fix any tail weight prob.

Both the red and the black&yellow look great,,,,,,,Does any one know how they fly??? Thanks Skip D

Im talking with someone on another thread, That say's it fly fine, The balance point is the top wing 58mm from the LE, Mine's almost done, I should have it in the air by the weekend.

My dr 1 rolls to the left on take off can not stop this roll even at full right. have you had this before. Is there a fix. Mike.

Haven't flown mine yet, But as long as you don't have left thrust in the engine, Your top wing incidence is flat, It seem's that if it go's that left somethings not straight, Do you have enough aileron throw, Should only take about 20' rollout before it's in the air with a little right rudder.

I have a smaller DR1 that pulls to the left on almost every take off.

It 's been a while since anyone last post on this DR1. Can anyone tell me how it flys and what is a good power plant for this baby. Also are there is video around with this baby in the air. I am looking to purchase one on Friday when I get paid

Just had a question on the lower wing between the wheels , Over time , it works loose and becomes a floter while flying . Is this a big Issue ? Dont fly it much due to chance it screws up the other wing incidence? What is a good way to set up and hold this bugger? I have the 58" with a Saito 80 Golden Knight for power. Any help appreciated > Tony

Very nice John.

As most of you know, I'm restoring and modifing my Discontinued GP Fokker DR1. It's JMHO that the GP version is better in quality and looks. I've been hounding Great Planes to come back with the DR1 and I hope the rest of you all do the same.

I wouldn't build the Nitroplanes/CMP (or what ever they call themselves) without making major reinforcement in many areas. I've had a CMP plane before and they are cheap even with the glue. And in my HO get rid of the stock hardware for heavens sakes! They are terrible.

It's true even in our hobby, you get what you pay for. I'm one of those who would rather- and would be better off building a kit than to buy anything from Nitroplanes/CMP

I'd taken the GP covering off the Fokker and I was amazed on how well it was built under the covering compared to most ARF aircraft I have stripped in the past. I'm going to continue to pester GP to come back with this nice bird.
