The TT is coming along, all construction done, ready for finish.  Weight still looks to be on target around 5.5 ounces.  Currently 5.25.  Finish will be clear epoxy (2 or 3 thinned coats) on the wood and Coverlite on the wings.

Here are some photos.  Note the internal booster tank.  I haven't done this before, but expect to be able to have the internal tank drain first, then the engine's tank, and thus get enough capacity to do the classic pattern.  If it works well and I am very lucky, I can go to one of the more powerful reed engines instead of the Golden Bee.  Or maybe even the RR-1 or a Space Bug.

The tall rudder was desirable for the original purpose of the design.  It was flown from a static pylon, so no capability for backing up to maintain line tension was possible.  It isn't needed now, but is part of the design, so I am stuck with it.  I just hope it doesn't do anything wierd to the flight characteristics.
