Title: Who's Triplane
Post by: Alexis on September 21, 2019, 10:25:26 PM

Came across this image online and thought that this would make an interesting subject for a scratch build . Never seen this type before so I have no idea if this was a pro-type , but it's cool looking !

Do any of you guys know anything about this bird ?
