At Aerobertics, Dancing Wings Hobby mainly makes kits (KIT's), made in balsa wood. On the one hand there are models that are made to fly (RC), on the other hand you have the 'Static Models', that deserve a beautiful spot on the cupboard, in your room, in your workshop,... Building these scale models is not only a nice activity, they are also a feast for the eye. Aerobertics supports your building projects!
History : The Fokker Dr.I, commonly known as the Fokker Triplane, was a German World War I fighter aircraft renowned for its distinctive three-wing design. Designed by Anthony Fokker and first flown in 1917, the Dr.I was a highly maneuverable aircraft, capable of tight turns and rapid climbs, making it a formidable dogfighter.
The Dr.I was powered by a rotary engine, typically the Oberursel Ur.II, and armed with two synchronized 7.92 mm LMG 08/15 Spandau machine guns. The triplane configuration provided excellent lift and agility, though at the cost of speed and visibility compared to its contemporaries.
It is famously associated with Manfred von Richthofen, the "Red Baron," who achieved many of his victories in this aircraft. Despite some structural issues and relatively limited production numbers, the Fokker Dr.I became an iconic symbol of early aerial combat, known for its striking appearance and association with German ace pilots.
