Default RE: Midwest Tri-Squire

Hi,

The old man checks in. The Tri-squire was my third airplane and was built in (I think ) 1961 or 1962. Whatever year it first came out. It was also my first plane with a reed radio. It had a non throttled .15 engine. The thing that I remember most is that I could pull up elevator
into a half loop, and then by holding full down I could fly around inverted. I also remember that one of Walt Schroeder's sons won first place in rudder only with a Tri-squire in the early 60's. (Schroeder was the editor of M.A.N. at the time.)
