Default RE: Midwest Tri-Squire

Nostalgia just struck. The Tri-Squire was the last plane I built before going into the AF. Powered by a Fox .19 RC. Actually, that engine may not have been recognizeable as an RC, since it had a rotary valve in the exhaust stack. Did work pretty well, as long as the motor control escapement didn't hang up. I used a cascaded compound Bonner Varicomp pair. Actually got 2 flights, till I got hit by something that was too common for me. Forgot to wind the rudder rubber. I think I still have the planes.
