Morten,
When building the trigear make sure the alignment of the wheels is such
that they are absolutely parallel when the plane is at gross weight. If
the alignment isn't perfect you'll have difficulty in taxiing and you'll
wear the tires out very quickly. Regretfully, my trigear has 2 inches
of "toe out" (front of wheel versus back of wheel), and there is no
known fix. Consequently I wear out tires every 40 hours and when
taxiing I dance on the rudder pedals like walking on hot coals.
Do try to get it right the first time!

Thank you all for your comments! I really think I will go for the
Trigear. I
don't think I will be landing at unprepered farmers fields very often
so...
Any known problems with fitting the tri-undercarrige??
