Default GP Triplane

Back on the subject...

I flew my GP Triplane last Saturday and it performed quite well, once I toned down the control throws. I used an OS 70 Surpass II on the nose and total weight dry was 8.6 lbs, only a 2 oz heavy hub was needed to balance at the recommended starting location.

First flight was a real thrill, but the next several were great. It'll land at a walk and cruise thru the sky at 1/4 throttle. Full power and it climbs out of sight, not vertically, but does so with authority.

It took 11 hrs to assemble. Everything was usable. Nice plane.
