| Thanks Chris. Yours was definitely inspiration whilst putting this one together. I still wish I could have achieved the quality of yours. More practice needed! Brian, thanks! I'm not sure what's next at the moment. Maybe my Guillows Hurricane... |

| Looks even better in the air! Outstanding effort. Well, what is next? |

| The wheels didn't work too well. The paper covers I installed over the spokes flew off after the first take-off. Have to rethink them! The magnetically attached cowling and the motor mount worked as planned on the nose-over grass landing, so that was good. No damage. Power was good, but handling was, well, a hand-full. It could point to CofG issues, or lack aileron authority, or just the handling characteristics of the design. I know the full-size ones were good at dog-fighting because of their inherent stability problems. |

So, the first two flights went OK. They were only short, one ending with a decent landing, the other with a landing on grass which broke a landing gear strut, easily repaired. |

| Outstanding, James. I barely managed a biplane, much less a triplane!!!! |

| It's magnificent James! |

Finished, except for detailing. Will try and fly before adding the details though. I wish the covering was as neat as some of the other Dr.1's on here, but I'm quite happy with it overall! |
| jgood, Image # 3675 | 22 Jul 07 22:38 |
Ready for the first flight. Hopefully! |

The iron crosses are ink-jet printed on white tissue, then applied with a glue stick, and sealed with Krylon satin. |
