Dymond Fokker DR-1, has anyone tried it?
I was looking at the Tiger Moth's on the Dymond site when I ran across this DR-1....
http://www.rc-dymond.com/index.php?productID=1307
All of the reviews of the Tiger Moth along with their other aircraft say that they all fly very well and from what I have read the Dymond model seem to be very well built ARF's. So has anyone out there built and flown the DR-1? I have a RCV-60 engine that is just looking for a home after its last one had a rather abrupt mishap. Anyway, I have been kind of looking for a DR-1 for this engine for a while when I stumbled across this guy, and even the color scheme looks good. Any opinions or advice will be appreciated.

It looks like a Great Planes Copy... I'm not sure, however I am tempted to buy it once someone in here can answer your question. I love Dr-1's... just don't love the way they fly. But all of us need a challenge sometimes.

I just wrote to Mr. Dymond for more info on it. When he writes me back, I'll copy paste it for you. It comes with a CD telling you how to put it together... so far that doesn't sound bad. The Tiger Moth that you were mentioning was reviewed here by the members. I guess the instructions were poorly written. I suspect Mr. Dymond takes care of any questions you might have upon building what ever model. From what I've read...all his models fly very well.

Peter,
There is a link on the web which gives you more info.

The airplane comes with a CD showing the building as well as the flying of the airplane, even with a camera built into the airplane.
Best regards
Helmut

Well thank you for your help! 
It looks like I have some reading to do.... My wife has asked me why I do not have a "Red Baron" airplane which I will take as permission to buy if it lloks like a good plane.
