Default RE: Tsunami Build Thread

Thank you for the kind words David. The dorsal was my own addition, but I really like the look of it. I also printed all the graphics you see on the plane on decal paper. I sprayed a clear coat of Klass-Kote over them once they were applied, as well. I didn't design the Tsunami graphic however, I found it on the net and "borrowed" it. I had several possibilities I was considering, but the design element for the one you see won me over. The rudder horn is DB, the elevator horns are GP. I think I like the DB design better, but I'm not crazy about that long connector arm. My canopy will be permanently attached today. Looks like tomorrow will be "maiden" day. I will be so glad to get this thing into the air. Will try to get some in-flight photos and report how it went...
