interesting ................ 1st time I have heard of a 'triple control'

M.28 Mark III: Three seat trainer with triple controls for two students and one instructor, powered by 150 hp Cirrus Major 3 and with revised wing section. One built (PW937).

.............. wierd

quiet a low stall spped for suck a big bird - 70 knots (................ no offence you Xair people)

Mr Google says top of range is US $ 350k which computes to OZ $ 540,000 .................. I think

20:1 glide ratio looks real good (price not so good)

180 Kn cruise and a low 49 Kn stall ............. nice

always an imposter mingles Red - a bit like this likely lot

1 × Warner Scarab Junior 5-cyl. air-cooled radial piston engine ?? ............. maybe

1 × Lycoming O-320 horizontally opposed piston aircraft engine  ?? ............. maybe

and the data says (numbers rounded)

* 70 c dents per 100 miles (fuel)

* 40 miles per gallon (fuel)

* means that fuel was 28 cents per gallon ?

* cigarettes and ashtrays were probably a minimal cost to the body back then

last photo looks squased - a bolbous canopy

photo 2 & 3 suggest the fueslage pivots in relation to the wing  ...................... shirley not ?

that's a lot of motor up there

just the sort of thing you should have sitting on the front lawn

what a beast - 10 tons mauw to carry 1.50 tons

what a beast / titanic

ear muffs required no doubt

Looks like Homer Simpson had a go on the drawing board - in the design of that one

I bet this one did more than 204 mph cruise
