Fokker Dr.I video!

Anyone interested in WWI aircraft (as I am) will really appreciate this new build Fokker Dr.I video. The plane is powered by a Le Rhone rotary engine. Cool!

Great footage and a chance to hear a real Oberusal-Gnome-La Rhone rotory engine at various RPMs.

The guys at The Vintage Aviator in NZ have just built a couple of new Oberursels, to go into some of the DR1 replicas down there. I don't know if the re-engine-ing has started yet, but, sounds exciting.....
