RE: Tsunami Build Thread
Very nice indeed Francisco (heck, can I call you Pancho?)!
I see that you modified the wing slightly by using balsa sheet against the spars instead of the stick balsa. The latter is certainly more tedious to apply. What did you use for power? BTW, if you still have it, it'd be great to see your radio layout... just curious.
Jim, funny you ask that. As I was working on the wings last night, I noticed that my left wing tip warped up about 1/4-1/2" over the years. Although it is still flexible enough that I should be able to correct it, I thought that it wouldn't hurt to maybe build one in foam and why not... put some retracts in it. The original designers don't recommend it with the reasoning that it would make it too heavy but the wing loading on this ship is relatively low so maybe...
I'm up to my ears in mechanical retract installation plans (for some other planes) but it is probably the way to go since it may be the lightest. Any suggestions as to which ones?
David.
