Hey Tim,

I've missed you! Glad to hear you'll be at the field tomorrow, and for the race. See you, then.


Jeff,

Is this one related at all to the Tsunami you flew at Redding?

Good to hear, If the 115 size fly's anything like the little 70 powered one then it will be very fast. Tim, Will you be at the "Miller Time Race"?

Very nice looking Tim. Get one to Jeff quick. If he builds it and flies it, I'm sure you'll have a ton of orders.

Looks "Scale" enough to me.
I think there might be interest in non-racing parts of the forums for this.

Yes, there are and laser cut parts and canopy.

Just send me a pm. You want it for racing or sport flying? I have only had the race ribs cut at this time.
