Flown a Trislander?

[gnx99]

Anyone? I think they are cool as hell (for a multi-piston).

Just wondering how well they fly.

i've been flying one for the last 3 years.

i fly it hands off - rudder and trim only. it's a stable flying truck

synchronizing the engines is the hardest part. it'll fly on one engine

it's a big ce 172

Hello,
I saw one coming in and out of Ft. Lauderdale the past couple of days. What is Vmc in that thing? Looks like it's an excellent STOL airplane and fun to fly.

vmc is 80

it stalls about 60

it's one of the safest planes there is

you can hardly tell if you've lost an engine
