Okay, here it is. The TriWing fighter folder is open at Brickshelf. (URL) based it off the Fokker Dr.1 triplane of World War 1 fame. With the Rebelion having a X-wing, Y-wing and such, it's a natural play on words to have a Tri-wing fighter. (...) (21 years ago, 17-May-04, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space)

(...) I think there's already a T-Wing fighter with 3 "wings". You've made a neat looking _airplane_, but I can't see the connection to Star Wars. Why does it have a propeller? Why doesn't the cockpit have a canopy? It has tires---can't it hover? It (...) (21 years ago, 17-May-04, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space)

Well, it's certainly a very good representation of the tri-plane. Doesn't go with Star Wars much, but it's neat none the less. (21 years ago, 18-May-04, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space)
