The replicas are built to the original 1917 pattern with small differences in the size of tubing used, and a few safety modifications like brakes and a steerable tailwheel. The aircraft has all the vices of the original poor ground visibility, and poor rudder control.
This replica of the Red Barons famed fighter is not one of the easier-to-build homebuilts. The fuselage is built from steel tube and plywood, then fabric covered. The wings are all wood and fabric covered. The engine usually recommended is a 145-hp Warner Radial.
