RE: Tsunami Build Thread
Haven't posted in a while so I thought a little update would be in order.
Frank, that's a nice US+! I assume it's kit built? I'm curious, why don't we see the engine out of the right side? Is your engine mounted inverted or perhaps it's electric? Are you using one of your GMS engines?
On the Tsunami front I've made a little progress but things slowed down while I waited for Monokote and Lustrekote to arrive (some trim Monokote is still missing). With Lustrekote in hand, yesterday I had a miraculous (for this time of year) 21 deg C and was able to continue priming the wing center section. I have one more priming session for the engine cowl and the final coats on the wing then it will be white paint.
While I wait for another good sunny day, I think I'll move ahead with the tail feather covering. I want to finish the wing before covering the fuse to insure I still have a good fit and to follow the wing trim contour.
In other good news I made my first yabe purchase with a great deal on a new OS 46 FX - half price. I'm planning on running the ST S40 with a pipe in first flight tests and if I feel more power is necessary, I'll switch to the OS, otherwise I'll need to find a good home for the 46 (the finish on OS engines really is nice).
