That is definitely amazing. Is it smaller than the real Eindeckers or were they really that small. I thought they might be longer. Either way, that is an amazing feat to engineer it and make it work, if you ask me.

Nope that's what it was.

I had always heard that flying those early aircraft was like balancing a unicycle on a fence post while patting your head, rubbing your stomach and eating a sandwich, but he made it look so easy and smooth.
