CF-TRI-X (above) under rebuild for modifications in the late
1970ies. This was the original brown/red color scheme. The Continental Tiara 6-320 engine was replaced by a
turbocharged 350 hp Lycoming TIO-540-J2BD engine. On 5 December 1979
one of the Trigulls (C-GATE?) was flown to a height of 31,500 ft, an
unofficial world record for single-engine amphibians.

Lycoming engine.
