Chuck,
Wow! I wish the triplane would perform like that. But unfortunately (for me) those figures are pure hogwash!
Here is what you are looking for:
Loaded 1290 lbs / 110 hp LeRhone
Max speed at 13120' = 102.5 mph

Loaded 1378 lbs / 145 hp Oberursel
Max speed @ unspecified alt = 115 mph

Loaded 1400 lbs / 160 hp Goe III
Max speed @ unspecified alt = 118 mph

Loaded 1512 lbs / 160 hp Sh.3
Max speed @ unspecified alt = 120 mph

Keep in mind that all of the above specs, with the exception of the LeRhone powered model were for experimental versions of the Fokker Dr1 triplane.

Hope that helps!
