| jgood | Molt Models Tyro | Build | 13-Mar-10 14:08 |  | | Views : 1454 | | 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. |

| jgood | Molt Models Tyro | Build | 10-Mar-10 17:20 |  | | Views : 1486 | | I especially like the little bass wood box for the landing gear mount point. It's very strong. |
| jgood | Molt Models Tyro | Build | 10-Mar-10 17:19 |  | | Views : 1445 | | It flies together very quickly. |
| jgood | Molt Models Tyro | Build | 10-Mar-10 17:18 |  | | Views : 1472 | | Metal, magnets and malsa. I mean, balsa. |
| jgood | Molt Models Tyro | Build | 10-Mar-10 14:18 |  | | Views : 1421 | | Work begins on Tyro #4. The kit came nicely packaged from Laser Arts with most of the hardware you need to completed it, other than electronics and covering. |
| jgood | Molt Models Tyro | Parked | 23-Feb-10 09:05 |  | | Views : 1496 | | Here is the carnage. Totally my fault, I was fiddling to start my flight timer when I lost situational awareness (it was quite high and far away), and it went into the sea upside down. I swam out and got it back, but sea-water has probably finished it all off... These things happen, I re-learned a lesson to pay more attention, I was getting too complacent. |
| jgood | Molt Models Tyro | Aerial | 23-Feb-10 02:55 |  | | Views : 1496 | | Advective fog this morning on South Beach. Unfortunately, probably the last picture ever from this aircraft / camera. :( Story later... |
