Default RE: Ford Tri-Motor - scratch built

I've come around full circle. This interesting aircraft has always caught my attention. It was not until two years ago my club member friend gave me a box of old plans. In it was a Ford tri-motor which requires foam core wings and calls for a nose 60 size motor and two wing .049 cox engines. The plans look old but show a sound and robust build. Currently a fellow modeler has the plans and will cut me the foam cores. Then it is all up to me to do the rest. I plan to place .25 FX O.S for all three engines. I hope this is equivalent to the plan configuration. Today, I revisited the question of how to create the corrugation skin and search RCU and stumble upon my own postings from 2010. Surprise!! That's my full circle. And by the way; What did ever happen to inspiring tri-motor that Jeff Fokker was building.
