Entry to WW1 Challenge. The Fokker Dr.1 was a World War 1 fighter aircraft built by Fokker-Flugzeugwerke. Made famous by Manfred von Richthofen aka the 'Red Baron'.
Be gentle with your inputs at slow speeds during takeoff and landing. Aerobatics are best initiated at speeds above 130mph from a dive. This aircraft can be rolled, looped and spun with enough control authority to execute and recover.
I've tried to model the flying characteristics as realistically as I can to the real thing - with that in mind use your energy (airspeed and height) wisely.
