Fokker D7 Performance

[Chill31]

Here is a cool first person view of Mikael Carlson's D7 doing aerobatics...a few interesting points: It takes about 7.5 seconds to do a roll and about 8 seconds to do a loop.  Compare that to the Fokker Dr.I that does a roll in 6 seconds and a loop in 8 seconds.    Enjoy!

Nice. ?

Excellent !

Quite low for doing loops though

 

S!

I would love to have his engine in our D7... looks quite powerful....

Nice! Does he give any max speed or climb figures? This is the engine (variant) we need for our DVII !

Sadly, I am the only person in the world, to my knowledge, doing flight testing on WWI aircraft for accurate data capture with modern equipment.

Then you need a D.VII with D.IIIaü

I may be able to get Mikael to do the testing with my equipment though!  I will see about it

Considering the amount he posts, I thought Plank did as well.
