RE: Balsa USA Fokker DRI 1/4 scale
I have had several triplanes- recommend you put a tail wheel- the old ohio haigh style tailwheels do pretty look somewhat like a skid and greatly enhances the ground handling. The best flying one I had had an electric motor on it with the batteries up under the cowl next to the motor. I could shoot touch and goes, and make wheel landings with it etc.. The instant response of the electric motor made it a whole different plant to fly. With a gas motor and a skid you will end up with the plane on its back 30-50% of the time Even on grass and taking off and landing directly into the wind.. .. Electric and a tailwheel maybe 5-10% of the time.. It sucks to build a pimped out model and have it broken all of the time due to landing mishaps. Been there done that.. Oh and by the way I am a much better than average pilot.. So take it for what its worth..
