HERMAN AND HIS SON ALEX TRAVELLED ALL THE WAY FROM GERMANY TO THIS GREAT RC SHOW AT WESTON PARK TO FLY THESE AMAZING EINDECKER REPLICAS FROM WW1,
JUST LIKE THE REAL AIRCRAFT THESE MODELS HAVE WING WARP TECHNOLOGY (CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGY IN 1915)
SO DO NOT HAVE AILERONS BUT INSTEAD THE WHOLE WING IS TWISTED AT THE TIP OF THE WING BY A SERIES OF STRONG WIRES CONNECTED TO THE JOY STICK IN THE COCKPIT, THIS DISTORTION OF THE WINGS ALLOWS THE AIRCRAFT TO ROLL ON ITS AXIS AND COMBINED WITH THE RUDDER AND ELEVATOR ALLOWS HER TO TURN,
THESE FANTASTIC MACHINES WERE ALL BUILT FROM SCRATCH PROBABLY WITH ONLY A SET OF PLANS TO LOOK AT, THEY ARE BUILT FROM BALSA & PLY & SPRUCE WITH STEEL & ALLOY PARTS ETC & ARE COVERED IN NYLON CLOTH WHICH IS THEN PAINTED,
The Fokker Eindecker fighters were a series of German World War I monoplane single-seat fighter aircraft designed by Dutch engineer Anthony Fokker. Developed in April 1915, the first Eindecker (“Monoplane”) was the first purpose-built German fighter aircraft and the first aircraft to be fitted with a synchronization gear, enabling the pilot to fire a machine gun through the arc of the propeller without striking the blades. The Eindecker gave the German Air Service a degree of air superiority from July 1915 until early 1916. This period, during which Allied aviators regarded their poorly armed aircraft as “Fokker Fodder”, became known as the “Fokker Scourge”.
