Default RE: Tsunami Build Thread

Nice and tidy looking... I like the GPexit guides. I meant to get some at the hobby shop today, but forgot them. It's tough when you've got to drive an hour and a half (each way) to get to the hobby shop.
I'll putmy rudder horn low enough to keep the rods from rubbing or the horns from interfering with each other.

I notice in the rear view you provided, that you did not add the 1/2" tri stock below the stabilizer at the stab/fuse side junction that Juno recommends. I did put that in and the joint feels much more solid and substantial now. You must have reinforced from the inside. I plan to useCoverite on the wing and paint the rest with Klasscote. I actually built a totally new wing from scratch, using the rib patterns I sent you, and incorporatinga littleoverlapbetween the wing sheeting and the LE& TE. I also added a dorsal fin to the rudder. I like the look a lot better. Hopefully my 35 year old "Badger" paint sprayer/air brushstill works.

I basically decided I could finish the Tsunami faster than the Tipo, so I focused there. The Tipo's time is coming though. Then, maybe a Mustang X build next winter. I'll send a pic or two maybe tomorrow when I'll have a little more light.

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.
