Even More Sport Flying

Video Title :	Even More Sport Flying
Description :	More flying in the Eindecker with some friends and it just doesn't get much better than this. Huge fun. The Eindecker is a 3\4 scale replica that I completed four years ago in the basement. It has 300 plus hours on it now. There are also two Challenger IIs, one a clipped wing and the other a long wing. The aircraft with smoke is a Team Airbike. Really bumps up the cool factor. Oh and...Go ahead and feel free to make fun of my finger. Everyone else does.

Excellent video & music... a pleasure to watch!!!! The Eindecker is one of my favorite WW1 German fighters. You handle your homebuilt version extremely well, would love to give it a try! I own & fly a 65hp Pietenpol Aircamper - a blast as well, lots of fresh air directly in the face. I hope to get some in flight videos this upcoming summer season on my crate. Happy Landings from Tailwheel!!!!

Thanks, it's a pleasure to fly. It's real forgiving but will not fly hands off. It just won't trim out with the full flying tail. Other than that she's pretty docile, and you're right, very breezy too. But there is nothing quite like flying an open cockpit airplane is there? I've never flown the Pietenpol but I hear they are great planes to fly. I like the idea of the parasol wing. I can't look straight down in the Eindecker. I guess I can't complain though, it's been a great plane.

without music please I want to hear the sound of the plane

I'll see what I can do. Sounds a lot like a weedeater though. Never much bothered me that it sounds like a weedeater but it gives some folks a real stomach ache. It's when it goes quiet that I get bothered. It hasn't happened to me yet but it has to two of the other guys I fly with.

great video and song! Is the Eindecker a Baslee Kit? I am building a Nieuport 17 with my dad from Baslee. Thanks for sharing the video.

Thanks. Yep, Its a Baslee kit and an awesome design it is. Just a great flying airplane. Wish I could build another one. I'd really like to build the DR1 now that I have flown the Eindecker. Just can't see getting rid of mine to fund another project. Its too much fun. How far along are you on the Nieuport?

I have the rudder done and the fuselage, elevator, and gear is on its way.

Hey Chocks, Skidmark Here..... what a wonderful tribute to all the great fun we've had in our machines. It just about brought tears to my eyes. That mixed with one of my all time favorite songs was just great. You have quite a eye for seeming together these videos. I salute You Chocks, along with Rip-n-slip, and also Flash Gordon. I will let Coulter know his work lives on as well. Thanks Friend.

Thanks Skid, Flying with you guys is certainly one hell of a good time. Glad you liked the vid. By the way, I think you just gave me a good idea. I might just have to make a video on how you got your nickname. Maybe...use your powerpiont slide show?? What do you think? See ya brother.
