Mikael Carlson"s Dr1 Triplane in Flight

YouTube - Mikael Carlson and his Fokker Dr.1 "Dreidecker" - air-to-air!

Film of a replica Fokker Dr.1 Triplane in flight.

Some shots are form the cockpit and, as he lands, whenever he hits the coup button you can see a puff of caster oil-laden smoke emerge behind the airplane.

Thanks, Don - wonderful film & sound! Did you notice the propeller? Mikael Carlson was flying over Skane in southern Sweden. I didn't know that he had made a Fokker Triplane in addition to his famous Tummelisa, and the Bleriot. How does he do it...

Here are some still photos. Sources (Air Veterans of Skane & Swedish Flying Veterans):
Skånes Veteranflygförening - Fokker Dr.1

Nah, it's a free download.

But I shouldn't wonder if he's had some help with the colour-scheme from the research made by Roman Seissler at Sero-Papermodels (website now unfortunately defunct, except for email address). See Hans-Gerd's model on this site.
