Default RE: Tsunami Build Thread

Yesterday we had 25 deg C in the sun, extraordinary for this time of year! Of course, after work, I come home and end up working in the shop rather then flying. Today, Saturday, I'd like to be flying, but of course it's pis***g rain. Oh well, there's some party to go to at least.

To keep the momentum up, a few pics on the covering. I've completed the first (base) layer on the empennage and control surfaces and almost finished the wings - just missing the top right panel. After that, I'll retrofit the wing (minor adjustments) and I should be able to move on to the fuse.

One thing I've been thinking about is whether to add some wing fillets to the fuse - classic pattern style, if you will. If I do, I better do it now before covering [:-]. Anyone care to comment?

First pic shows fillets on the wing underside to transition the paint into the covering - not bad but I think there's probably a nicer way yet. Tail feather fillet detail.
