| jgood | Molt Models Tyro | Build | 21-Mar-10 07:45 |  | | Views : 1878 | | 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 : 2019 | | Progress so far. Just about ready for covering. |
| jgood | Molt Models Tyro | Build | 13-Mar-10 15:35 |  | | Views : 1875 | | Detail on setting the dihedral. |
| jgood | Molt Models Tyro | Build | 13-Mar-10 14:08 |  | | Views : 1783 | | 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 | 13-Mar-10 14:06 |  | | Views : 1795 | | Wing halves almost completed. No ailerons yet. |
| jgood | Molt Models Tyro | Build | 13-Mar-10 14:04 |  | | Views : 1816 | | Putting the wings together. No glue required to this stage, it all inter-locks together. |

| jgood | Molt Models Tyro | Build | 10-Mar-10 17:20 |  | | Views : 1853 | | 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 : 1815 | | It flies together very quickly. |
| jgood | Molt Models Tyro | Build | 10-Mar-10 17:18 |  | | Views : 1878 | | Metal, magnets and malsa. I mean, balsa. |
| jgood | Molt Models Tyro | Build | 10-Mar-10 14:18 |  | | Views : 1768 | | 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 : 1830 | | 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. |
