my first attempt at a triplane of the old-school style, you'll probably need to use the VTOL to accelerate via the wheels to get enough speed for a successful takeoff, then it pitches up sharply but is easy to correct with a gentle hand, once you master it's finer points you can fly it fairly level at about 160-175mph, don't climb too steeply! you'll lose speed and stall rapidly if you do! landing is fairly easy. Enjoy!
