An extremely practical near scale model of the Fokker DR1 Triplane favourite mount of Baron Von Richthofen. This ingenious design uses only four bolts to rig. The high climb rate and surprising stability of the original has also been faithfully reproduced. It comes complete with all balsa and ply parts pre-cut and includes pre-formed undercarriage cabane struts spun aluminium cowl push rods clevises horns hinges bellcranks wing bolts self tapping screws etc. Baronette. WW1 ace Baron Von Richthofen flew the Fokker Triplane to legendary success and it was only when he was confronted by Captain A R Brown in a Sopwith Camel that his luck ran out in March 1918. The Baronette Builds into a realistic sport scale model of this famous aircraft and provides a superb mount for exciting dog fights. Three simply built flat wings, with ailerons in one only, make building straightforward. The high undercarriage necessitates careful rudder steering on take off; this is then rewarded by surprisingly stable flight characteristics.
