I had about 15 minutes to spare before a recent flight home from YYC. What's a guy to do? Head to the local Aero Space Museum and marvel at their lovely Triplane replica, of course! I only came armed with an iPhone, so excuse the quality, but I hope they give you enough detail to go on.

Excellent photos, Lindsay! Thank you for posting them. This looks to be a very accurate repro and points out a number of details I might have missed in building my Tripes. These pics will definitely be useful to me in my build.
Cheers,

Nice shots Lindsay. I've seen it several times over the years and always regretted not taking pictures; it's a beautiful repro and being in "Nick" Carter's colours is a bonus. Thanks for posting. 8)
Cheers,
