Hi all,
I finally got around to posting an update on the triplane progress.
It is about ready for paint, a propeller, and some wheels.

Hi Jimbo  :wave:

Thanks for the update on your neat tri-plane project. Can't wait to see her in action.

She's beautiful, Jimbo !!!

She looks like she should be ready for a test flight soon ...  ;D

How are your "flying lessons" coming? ... ;)

I'm really excited about seeing her in flight. When do you think she'll be ready?

All the best,
Richard

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the encouragement!
I am still pondering the propper pilot..I will try to have it ready for test flight in
about a month.  I sprayed the first coat of sealer/primer on yesterday.

I saw some real interesting paint schemes on a website today.  Fear and common
sense may keep me with the red overall coloring though. ;D

Stay tuned
Jimbo

This is an amazing custom, Jimbo, and looks really superb.  Fancy, wooden Playmobil.

(Sorry not to have commented sooner but the thread started when I was away and off the net and when it restarted I assumed that I'd already posted.)
