Hangar 9 - Fokker D.VII
From Horizon Hobby
The German Fokker D.VII is frequently cited as one of the best fighter aircraft of the First World War. During the latter half of 1917, the allies had regained air superiority. To counter this, the German government invited aircraft manufacturers to submit prototype single-seat fighter designs for evaluation in Berlin in January 1918. The design with the best overall performance would be awarded a production contract. The Fokker D VII was the winner because it was easy to maneuver, strong and agile and as a result, was highly respectable by the enemy. The D.VII could "hang on its propeller" and attack upwards while other aircraft would stall and fly away. The performance of the Fokker D.VII was superior to any other aircraft used by the triumphant power. As a result, Germany had to surrender all the airplanes after the end of World War I. A total of 3,300 DVII were produced and over 700 were in service after the war ended.

Interesting. I wonder if the exhaust is an issue for the top access hatch longevity. |

I do wish H9 would have elected to leave off the black striping and skull and crossbones. That way people could more easily choose one of the other Jasta 18 marking schemes.

 Other mufflers and engines can be used. This layout is all we had to offer. Plus it looks super cool with the smoke rolling over the top of the wing. Regards Ali |

Nicely made video--enjoyed the little bits of 3D thrown in between the scale flying. Looks like a nice flyer!
