Thanks guys,
It is a pleasure to have somewhere to share finished effort when one’s wife could care less. Willem E. You are correct the Tri-motor does have a flat bottom. In keeping this a simple FG build there are no bulkheads. See second photo. I had intended to accomplish a flat bottom by squeezing along the yellow line, both sides, but the sides need a sharp bend. It would be best to score along that line during fuselage build. Thanks Murph, I hope the FG corrected pages have included underwing locators for mounting the engines. BP |

It looks like there is another issue with the design of this plane. The registration numbers are on the proper wing but look to be backwards.

Yes, Curt. I agree.
Back when Chip was alive he sent a number of prior FG new releases that I happily Beta built for him. This Tri-motor has a number of issues, however, I guess I am no longer involved, yet I do forward quality control comments now and then. Chip and his Fiddlers Green Paper Models will always have a warm spot in my heart. BP |

This is one of my early Oddball Productions designs. Looking at the files, the wing registrations are orientated correctly there. The only thing I can think of is that Bob has the wings on backwards.
I've been giving some thought to redesigning it to add all the new stuff I've learned since. |

Howdy Murph,
These are the wings pages 7 & 8 something amiss? BP |

Nope, that's how they're supposed to be. 7 is the left wing, and 8 is the right wing. The glue tab always goes on the bottom.

What a beauty! Congratulations Bob. Maybe I missed something but is this the “Byrd bird” of the South pole expedition?
