I would replace all metal parts with composite materials, which shouldn't cost much considering that most of the airframe is made out of wood and cloth, which is stealth by default.

The irony is that the Fokker Dr1 entered service just as the Sopwith Triplane which inspired it was being replaced. I don't think the two types met in combat.
