Thanks, Manni, Andonio, Frank and Gaz!  Much appreciated.
Thanks for posting that photo, Frank.  That's how she looked right off the assembly line.  I will try to show mine as she looked when test flown by Richthofen with a new prop and replacement struts.
After a great deal of filing, sanding, bending, pushing, prodding, twisting and cursing, she is now a triplane.


Now, the rigging begins.  Shouldn't take too long. ;)
Cheers,
Bud

Wow, already a Triplane :o
That build was really fast! Good luck with the rigging, the gear is also done already.
If someone has a collection of triplanes, this type needs to be part of that.

Cheers,
Frank

I miss a couple of days and this is nearly finished.... That was quick Bud. Super finish on the paintwork - this is going to be another of your stunners I can tell.
