RE: Tsunami Build Thread
An update- Dad has finished his .40 Tsunami. It's a beauty. I helped him with the logo and some minor stuff but he did the majortiy of the work and that thing really flies like an arrow. He loves it.
It's currently powered by an MVVS .40, but he's going to cram a Jett Engineering .50 into it to turn it into a rocket. It's also his first model with retracts, and he loves those too.
One thing I noticed when flying it- the ailerons are a little spongy when at slower speeds, and kind of slow to react at higher speeds, so he's going to increase the aileron throw past the recommended 3/8ths. Also, I will say that the 1" rudder throw might look excessive, but it's totally neccecary to hold a good knife edge. Bonus- almost zero knife edge coupling. Tracks straight and true, like an arrow. And it's pretty quick too.
I'll try to post some pictures of it in the bones and as completed when I get the opportunity this week.
