Need a Tornado V3 Canopy
Hi All,
I have a Modellbau Tornado V3 and the canopy and tub that is supplied with the kit DOES NOT fit! Are there any aftermarket suppliers out there that have made a canopy and tub that does fit? I have tried emailing Ray with no response, are there any others?
Thanks in Advance

Jetfan, I had the same problem. I ordered a new canopy and tub from Ray. His new email address is below.

I have the Red and white as well. I have to workout the cockpit issue, install the wing servos, turbine (K100G) and cg and she is ready. How about you?

RE: Need a Tornado V3 Canopy
I still have a lot left to complete. Working on canopy setup now. All servos installed but no pushrods yet. I'm using the Dreamworks retracts so that requires some extra work to fit. I still need to install my turbine and all the related components. I'm using the Jetsmunt VT80. This kit requires a LOT of work to get flight ready by my personel standard.

RE: Need a Tornado V3 Canopy
You are right about that, this is not a ARF. I have built big ARF's before that took less work. Formers and getting the booms to sit right was also a problem. The canopy and tub doesn't even appear to be close to fitting properly, that really sucks!
