Suppliers Comments

The most recognized aircraft of the First World War. From late 1917 until June of 1918, the Fokker Triplane blazed its way across history and into the popular culture of today. In the hands of men like Baron Manfred Von Richthofen "The Red Baron", Werner Voss and Ernest Udet, the Triplane became will known as the ultimate "Dog Fight" airplane of the war.
In its design, Anthony Fokker and Reinhold Platz sacraficed speed for rate of climb and manuverability- they were successful! "They climb like monkeys and manuver like devils". (Von Richthofen)
BALSA USA offers an easy to build and suprisingly easy to fly (yes, if you can fly a sport model, you can fly this Fokker Triplane)
