Status: offline 		Dick,

Sorry about the delay, I was at camp with my son doing some Duck hunting. The bottom of fuse and wings are sprayed light blue. The enitre plane is sprayed in green, the gray is brushed on with a 1.5 inch brush to get the streaking affect. The yellow is then sprayed on. All yellow on the plane is sprayed.

Hope this helps,
Wild Bill

Status: offline 		Wow Dick, you are lightyears ahead of me. I am plugging along and have tail, fuselage and landing gear all done and will be installing firewall and engine this weekend. you can see lots of shop photos of the build on my FaceBook page. Here's a photo of the spoked wheels going on the axle. I think they look pretty good. Will be painting mine up as Cole Palen's older original triplane.... the one in the hangar up on the hill.
Cheers,
GY

Status: offline 		SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET! BTW, I haven't been keeping up with these 1/3 scale builds but I'm surprised that a G38 (with drive) is enough engine. I had been thinking that people were using much larger engines (G62).

Yes, a G-62 would work, but I wanted to do something a bit different.

Status: offline 		On the other side of the pond, the Brits like this setup. Just remember your swinging a very large and high pitched prop so you may want to have the engine idle as low as possible so not to come in too hot for landing. Maybe not a problem with all that drag once you get the other two wings on.

Status: offline 		the idle speed is 600 rpm prop speed which is 1680 rpm engine speed.  At idle the plane will sit still on pavement.  I thing the idle speed will be low enough.

Weather and schedule permitting, first flights this coming weekend

Here are some photos and 2 video links:

Ah, Yes, the wing.  Then the next wing, then another wing, then that lower wing.

When will it ever end?

Awesome looking videos. Great build and a fine flyer.

Now to finish the Axe Handles. 
Some Pics from replica DR-1's flying here in Virginia Beach area at http://www.militaryaviationmuseum.org.

Bring your 1/3 scale Tripe for our “Second annual Mid-Atlantic Dawn Patrol “(MAD) 2nd thru - 6th OCT 2013.
We have three 1/3 scale DR-1s being built now and I'm doing a 1/3 Tripehound.

Two reasons why you need to come to MAD Patrol 2013 (VA Beach)

1. Glenn Torrance Models: Glenn updated his website with an awesome write up and many cool pictures
http://www.flygtm.com/

2. Full scale replica's flying Saturday for us. 5 min long. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PsLjFCg1BZA
