Li.

I set the elevators to have 1 inch of travel in each direction and the

ailerons to have

/4-inch travel. I gave the rudder as much throw as I

could without its binding. These exceeded the manufacturer's recom-

mendations, but I like authoritative control of the airplane.

TAKEOFF AND LANDING

On takeoff, I point the nose down the runway while holding some

up-elevator to keep the tail down. I roll the throttle open and grad-

ually let out the up-elevator. By the time I get to

3/4

throttle, the

plane is flying! On its first flight, it required only a few clicks of

down and left trim.

The Fokker Dr.l proved to be equally uneventful when landing. The

only difficult part is getting it to come down. Three-point and wheeled

landings are equally easy; just stay on the rudder during rollout.

LOW-SPEED PERFORMANCE

This is where the triplane really shines! It remains smooth and

responsive all the way down to stall. When the stall finally comes,

the plane remains relatively straight, with only a slight drop in the

right wings. With the application of a little power, it easily recov-

ers. Walking-speed figure-8s at head level just over the runway are

very enjoyable to fly; no drama is involved.

HIGH-SPEED PERFORMANCE

The O.S. .52 4-stroke engine does not really provide this triplane

with significant high-speed abilities. Full throttle increases the

climb rate more than anything else. The plane displays no bad

habits at maximum power.

AEROBATICS

The triplane will never be confused with an I MAC plane, but it will

perform any maneuver the original could. Loops, rolls and split-S's

are all well within its capabilities. My personal favorite is a skid-

ding, flat turn; it can be accomplished within a 10-foot diameter.

The full-size plane used this maneuver to great advantage during

dogfights. Overall, this plane is a blast to fly.
