If the sim is the FMS one I've flown it and agree with what you say wholeheartedly!

Yeah it's that model, but I've also ported it into Targetware's Richthofen's Skies Pioneering module I was working on. It actually needs some 3D tweaks, ( it's scaled a bit large..) and a better representative of the original AVRO I tripe wing airfoil, as the one I'm using is from TW's Bleriot.

That's an interesting piece, I'd have liked to get a little closer look at the controls of the Tripe, IIRC this plane had wing warping on all 3 pairs of front wings, but I don't recall if part of that warping was also pitch control or if the rear elevators were warped for pitch.

Blimey, trust the Daily Mail - can't let a single article pass without reference to 'rar rar health and safety/political correctness'
