As far as alternative colour schemes are concerned, The fiddlers green flying circus has many (The stripey `Voss` one is a favorite of mine) Unfortunately the struts on the FG `dreideckers` are inaccurate.
I`ve made one in card at 1/144th scale for the wings of war boardgame.
The red one is Revell snap together plastic kit.
Your Triplane is an absolute joy !
Thanks for sharing

thank you for your reply, this ole girl still flies well all those years the 0.49 is a little to powerfull I have to throttle down useing the reed needle valve, once its throttled down she,ll take off and go around circles, with these tri planes you for free flight opperation you got to set the dihedral in all three wings if you dont you will run into troulble one big crack up and your hard work is a failure. Now that i have found in new model technology that there are mini servos and electric engine that will make a plane like this fly and even smaller, what will they think of next. I weas thinking about placeing in two mini servos and fly her two channel. thanks for your reply,
