| jgood | Molt Models Tyro | Aerial | 21-Apr-10 05:25 |  | | Views : 1406 | | Got some time up in the air this morning. I need to put a darker colour on the wings, the silver is terrible for visiblity against a blue sky, almost invisible. Secondly, the new camera (a Pentax Optio S10) does not seem too good at the moment. Most of the shots were blurry, even after forcing the ISO up to 400, locking the focus on infinity, and trying the 'sports' mode. I shall do some more research - anyone want an S10 going cheap?! :) |

| jgood | Molt Models Tyro | Build | 21-Mar-10 07:45 |  | | Views : 1283 | | Progress so far. Covering with red Solarfilm, a slightly heavier covering than my usual Solite. Less translucent though, which suits the red. The wings will be silver Solite. |
| jgood | Molt Models Tyro | Build | 14-Mar-10 15:03 |  | | Views : 1413 | | Progress so far. Just about ready for covering. |

| jgood | Molt Models Tyro | Build | 13-Mar-10 14:08 |  | | Views : 1207 | | Setting the dihedral between the two halves. 7/8" raised at one end. No wash in or wash-out is called for. Using 5 minute epoxy to set them, and the magnets are keeping everything aligned. |
