Fred has helped us quite a bit. LeRhone? What LeRhone, I didn't see any LeRhone around here!   We are doing Lothar von Richtofen's airplane, but we're stealing Voss's eyes and moustache (gotta have that LOL it looks so cool!)

Progress on the Triplane,
Today was another milestone in the Trplane project,
We mounted the Spars and cabanes. The Cabanes were built up by Ron Sands himself, they needed a little tweaking for fit.

Hey Jeff,
Funny you should ask! LOL
Paul Senior has had a rib factory going for the last 4 months, so we're pretty far along in that respect. This has been a cool project!

Latest progress
Hi Guys,
The last few days were spent finishing up welds for the wing attach points, engine mount bushings, and some cowl mounts. The axle gear box was also finished and attached to the newly painted gear legs. Still working on the correct green or gray color for the primer. Enjoy, Paul

The spar mounted to the fuselage soome to be the perfect jig table, so here is a shot adding ribs to our spar.
