    Default ford tri-motor

    I was over at the big hanger at zephyrhills airport the other day and saw that one of the ford tri-motors was temporarilly being stored there. Then yesterday i get my sport aviation magazine in the mail, and there is a story about it. Cool looking plane.

    Ken,
    I volunteer on the tri-motor for the entire week of OSH. and when it is selling rides here in Z-hills.

    I have been lucky enough to ride right seat in it a few times. The controls are a little heaver than my kitfox

    Louie, I think it flies about the same speed as your model 3, maybe slower. Ken
    P.s. nice fly-overs

    Our EAA Chapter sponsored this one at Georgetown, TX in November. Just had to take my granddaughters for a ride.
