Animated Stig takes the Fokker Dr1 for a test flight with new ply wing struts. The 3mm ply struts are much more rigid, lighter and have less drag than my previous rig. Still need to add struts to the lower wing just for looks. Struts are gorilla glued into slots in the foam. Increased rudder size and moved wings back to help with balance and tracking. It still meanders around in the wind but does fly better. Reduced weight means it will now fly more easily on 3S. I have also used ply struts for the Tigermoth so that the wings are all one unit. 1 Fokker Dr 1 wings - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTpS5... 2 Fokker Dr 1 fuselage - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZErXq... 3 Fokker Dr 1 wing mounting - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6tNT... 4 Fokker Dr 1 electronics - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vdlB...
