RE: NITRO FOKKER DR1
 

Hi, I asked the factory few weeks ago and was told that they were working on the CAD...I'll find out this week and get you updated ;)

RE: NITRO FOKKER DR1
 

Here's the kit...ready for mass production...i hv to get the spec later this week

RE: NITRO FOKKER DR1
 

WOW!!! THAT'S BEAUTIFUL. CAN'T WAIT TO GET MY HANDS ON IT!! THANKS ALOT. BY THE WAY, DON'T DISCONTINUE THE BIG TIGER MOTH. IT'S A GREAT FLIER. GONNA BUY MORE OF THOSE TOO, BUT THAT DR1 IS UNREAL !!!

RE: NITRO FOKKER DR1
 

haha, ok!!! the tiger moth 120 is one of our earlier model...if there's any major flaw, let me know so we can fix it up on the newer versions...and we'll be at the AMA show...if u are coming by, it'll be great! :D

RE: NITRO FOKKER DR1

RE: NITRO FOKKER DR1
 

IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE NITRO DR1, I WAS TOLD LATE DECEMBER OR EARLY JANUARY.

RE: NITRO FOKKER DR1
 

IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A 40 SIZE.

RE: NITRO FOKKER DR1
 

thank you for the response. the dr-1 is the plane i am looking at . not sure witch dr-1 i am going to get (1/8 , 1/4 , or 1/3 scale, arf or build or used ) but i have money burning a hole in my pocket and i will be flying a dr-1 this somer. just want to see whats out there so i can make an educated disition .

RE: NITRO FOKKER DR1
 

DYMOND MODELSPORTS HAS A NICE 40 SIZE DR1 ARF. I FLY MINE WITH AN OS 52. IT'S THE EXACT SAME ARF THAT RIPMAX IS OFFERING IN ENGLAND, JUST DIFFERENT COVERING. AND POLK HOBBY HAS A SMALL ELECTRIC ALL WOOD ARF. IT'S A GREAT FLIER ALSO, BUT DON'T TRY IT WITH THE SPEED 400 MOTOR THEY RECOMMEND. I'VE GOT AN E-FLITE 15 OUTRUNNER ON MINE AND IT JUMPS OFF THE GROUND.

RE: NITRO FOKKER DR1
 

thank you so much . i ordered the one from dymond . they clame it to be 53" wing span . polks is 37" or 40" depending on whitch add you read. i kinda like the idea of a bit biger plane , thats why i orded from dymond . its snowing up hear in ohio so i wont get to fly it for a wile. so i have plenty of time to diside on nitro motor or electric . what prop are you using on your dymond fokker? . i see in your polk hobby you have an e-flite 15 , what esc and batery or bateries , and prop are you using on that bird . the club i fly with (2 of my brothers and my dad are members ) rents out a small 1/2 cort gym twice a month for small electic fly in . i fly my t-rex 450 heli there . but am realy jonesing to get out my t-rex 600 and my hirobo evo 50 . and to get back on some of my planes , mainly my new fokker dr-1 . any way thanks so much for your help. karl

HELLO KARL,
THE PROP ON THE DYMOND FOKKER IS AN APC 12X6. THE POLK DR1 HAS A 3 CELL LI-PO 2100 MAH PACK. I DON'T REMEMBER THE ESC SIZE, BUT THE PROP IS AN ELECTRIC MASTER AIRSCREW 12X8. BY THE WAY, THE POLK DR-1 REQUIRED A LOT OF NOSE WEIGHT, BUT IT FLIES BEAUTIFUL AND REALLY SLOWS DOWN GOOD FOR LANDING. LET ME KNOW HOW IT GOES.......

RE: NITRO FOKKER DR1
 

Hey somewhere in this forum you mentioned that it would be nice to have multiple color schemes for the DR1. Fokker Dr I Aces of World War I (Osprey Aircraft of the Aces No 40) (Paperback) by Norman Franks has a good deal of color schemes and I am sure you can pick a number of them for production. It is so boreing to see reds all the time.

Have you also considered the DVII? Eflight has DVII & An SE5 for electric and i have both. They fly really well. It would be nice to have a 40 size version of these for airshows and such. By the way if you are still interested in club sponsorships, you should consider coming to our annual airshow. It averages 3000 people each day. Check out http://www.sccmas.org I have been members of various clubs in Europe, Australia and U.S. and this is the best club in my books.

Here's a picture of my recovered Great Planes Fokker! I love the color scheme you guys picked out for your version!! Maybe I'm a little prejudice!!:D

RE: NITRO FOKKER DR1
 

Very nice work, bet she flies as good as she looks

RE: NITRO FOKKER DR1
 

I couldn't find the post.But I thought I read the Fokker DR 1 was due to be released the end of May 2007.How's it looking and will you be taking pre orders?

RE: NITRO FOKKER DR1
 

And are there any plans to make a .90-1.20 sized version?

RE: NITRO FOKKER DR1
 

I WROTE NITRO EARLIER TODAY ASKING ABOUT THE DR1 AND GOT A REPLY WITHIN THE HOUR. HE SAID HE WOULD CONTACT THE FACTORY TO FIND OUT HOW MUCH LONGER ON IT AND WOULD POST THE REPLY ON THE FORUM. THEY SAID MONTHS AGO THAT IF THE 40 SIZE DR1 SOLD WELL, THEY WOULD CONSIDER A 1.20 SIZE ONE. THAT WOULD BE VERY COOL.

RE: NITRO FOKKER DR1
 

HI, just received news today that the Fokker DR1 has been tested and is ready for full production now...i will be posting some pictures shortly this week...and will hv an est. date of arrival then...most likely be here within 1-2 months from today

Thanks

RE: NITRO FOKKER DR1
 

That's great news.

I have been holding off on buying the new Great Planes DR1, simply because I found this thread. I don't want a Dr1 that is all red and looking like everyone else's, and it partially defeats the purpose of ARFing to strip a covering job off a brand new ARF to redo it.

Besides, that yellow and black scheme looks to be a little bit like work to reproduce. I'm getting too lazy to put out that much effort for a sport parkflyer, I'm afraid. [:)

Two months it is, then. I'll be waiting for this one anxiously. I hope it becomes popular, so you guys will perhaps consider scaling it up to a larger size for bigger electrics or large sized glow.

RE: NITRO FOKKER DR1
 

thanks guys this just went on my "Must Buy" list ;)

RE: NITRO FOKKER DR1
 

Hmm, so it's NOT a parkflyer, as I mistakenly called it .

Even better. That size is about perfect. I hope it won't take a ton of weight to make it balance as an electric.
