I am happy to introduce my first plane! Wow this build took a longer than it had to. The Fokker Dr1, a German Triplane used in World War 1. This plane in particular was Germany's top ace, Manfred Alberecht Frieiherr von Richthofen, or as people call him, the Red Baron's plane that he flew durring his time in the Luftstreitkräfte, which is what they called the German Airforce at the time. Read more on wikipedia, at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fokker_Dr.I I created this plane for Belugasub's Biplane challenge. It is a very fun to fly around and somehow flys extremely well. It is very fun in dogfights. I may create future versions of this plane making it more accurate and stuff like that. Please enjoy! :D.

Ah yes...The days of ol- I can’t believe I’ve been doing this for over 2 years, isn’t it 5 years old now? I hope new parts come out soon, @PlanesOfOld
@Zanedavid No prob, I made one years ago. I remember it was very hard to get it to fly, but that was before the days of fuselage blocks and dead weight settings. Good luck!
Ah yes, such lift, many wing, much flight @PlanesOfOld this is gonna be my next build if you don’t mind me taking it :)
@Zanedavid May I present the Fokker V8
Ww1 be like: When 2 wings isn’t enough, just add more right?
good to see this again! Great work!
Very great job .
@Tang0five same, this is amazing for someone’s first build
First build. I think the only rational thing is an upvote, spotlight and to follow your creations in future!
Nice!
Whoa this is absolutely fantastic!! It flies so damn well!
This is awesome! Keep up the great work!
Good lord, with builds such as this... You'll be platinum it no time. Nicely done ✔✔✔✔
My top stack is little too big...
