Default Tsunami - composites, part 2

Since the original thread http://www.rcuniverse.com/showthread...79&forumid=113 was getting too long, I'm continuing it here.

So, after a few months' hiatus, construction begins on a new Tsunami for myself and finishing my brothers. We did not get to prime his today, but I was able to wax, paint and prep the molds over the weekend. Because of today's holiday, I had the chance to layup a stab.

Our goal, as stated previously, is to fly the new composite wings on my Tsunami fuse. Hopefully, better construction and care on my part will yield lighter results this time on the hollow core wing.

Photos will come as we get time to work on the models. I anticipate updates every couple of days so you can see the progress.

Here's the stab in the mold - Note that I used red this time when painting my molds prior to layup. This way, the part will come out red, and hopefully need minimal filling before painting..
