Hi, Ken - I REALLY like my fingers where they are  ~^ ~^ LL~.

Electric starter should do the trick.

I was thinking that since the props seem to be close together.  What motors are you running in them?  My guess would probably be 3 Saito 40s?

Looks good Bob - are those 2 litre soda bottle bottoms for cowlngs?  I like the way they look- kind of reminds me of a radial engine cowl with the bumps for cylinder head clearance ala Cessna tail dragger or Golden Era racer.

Hello, all - thanks for the compliments.
Yes, Bill - they are from soda bottles. One quart Walmart seltzer water.
Power is from three OS Surpass .26s turning Master Airscrew 9-6 props.
Weight as shown is 76 ounces.
It is fully take-apart.

I took more pictures - they really give an idea of the size.

Great looking model, Bob! The airplane isn't bad either.. ;->

Fine job, it really does have three 4S engines.

If it flies as well as it looks, you'll be in great shape.

Best regards,

L.

I have been telling you guys for the longest time that women love 4 stroke flyers. I sincerely hope this picture is definitive proof of what I have been saying!!! y1

Bob,

Another Nobler!

In the old days you would get maximum originality points!

The "Triple" looks great. Looking forward to flight reports.
