tri planes

Did Alan Brickhouse ever design a tri plane and are there any designs out there for 1/2a triplanes ?

If you're really a 'puter nerd, Outerzone has a "tag matrix" search facility.  I think it uses cookies, so I can't give you my search -- but here's the URL, and a picture of the boxes I checked to find all eight plans they have for CL triplanes (I didn't try to narrow it down to just 1/2-A).

The problem with electric is that once you get the smoke generator and sound system installed, the plane is too heavy.

    Allen Brickhaus' biography is in the hall of fame section of this website, and it lists all of his published designs and articles. The only multi-wing model I think he did was  the Laird Super Solution for Flying Models. A mutual friend of ours, Rich Raftery from our local club here, built the model used in the article. Both have passed away and I have the model in my possession.  I do not believe he ever did any kind of triplane. As already mentioned, try Pat King at PDK models in the vendors section. I don't think there is too much that Pat hasn't designed!!

... are there any designs out there for 1/2a triplanes ?

Somewhere I have a copy of simple plank wing/profile WWI planes that use a Babe Bee. I believe there are three models on the plans, and at least one (ISTR more than one) triplane on the plan. If I find it, do you want it? I can email it since it is a PDF.

About 2/3 way down the linked page. It is a jpg, not PDF. But it sure looks usable.

I spotted the Bipes & Tripes plan recently and thought it's a clever idea, but the magazine plan itself is pretty "fuzzy".  I have enlarged it and converted to a pdf file that should be the right size - send me your email address if you want the file, it's about 1-1/2 Mb.  It isn't the prettiest plan you'll find, but it should be fine for building!
