Colors are from Jasta 11, pilot Werner Steinhauser.  My first triplane, a quarter scale BUSA was finished in these colors. Pilot is from Aces of Iron. Going to be getting better acquainted this week.

Four take offs, four landings.  No trim changes needed.  It was a nice evening for flying. Engine was perfect, no more than five flips to get it going. Wish somebody had brought a camera.
