Don't get too excited. I chose to build this plane for its wing shape to test some different wing construction ideas. It is not super detailed, and does not have a perfect flight model. However, here are the specs:

The Wiki:
The Britten-Norman Trislander (more formally designated the BN-2A Mk III Trislander) is an 18-seat three-engined piston-powered civilian utility aircraft produced in the 1970s and early 1980s by Britten-Norman of Britain. These STOL capable aircraft were produced on the Isle of Wight. They were also produced in Romania, and delivered via Belgium to Britain for their certification.

Controls
-Standard Flight Controls
-VTOL for Flaps
-Ag1 for Doors
-Ag2 for Landing Lights
-Cam1-4 for Interior views

As Always
As noted above, I am trying new wing construction methods and testing with this build. They turned out alright, but still need some tweaking. In the mean time, I am running out of ideas. If you have a suggestion for a plane or tips on the wings, please let me know. Thank you for stopping by to look, and enjoy your flight!!

    The real plane is supposed to be considered one of the ugliest out there. It’s an interesting one to look at to say the least hahaha @Sgtk
