It looks really good!

Tank looks a bit different.  Can you tell us about it?

Thanks!

Scott, after inconsistent  engine runs last summer, I changed out the Perfect metal tank to bladder pressure. No more fooling around. I liked the way the metal canister looks and it has worked well for me in the past. If the bladder breaks, the fuel wont go all over me or the plane.
 Thanks to the generous control line community Tsunami is team effort.

    What was the metal container for in it's previous life?  Looks like a screw on cap of some sort? Cigar tube would be good for this.

   Type at you later,

And are there plans available?  There are a few half-A lovers in our club that might be interested.

Hi Dan  the canister is from what used to be a puffer or inhaler for asthma. The black thing in front is a rubber bushing. The thought was to prevent the exhaust from going into the canister and degrading the surgical tubing, and the aluminum will block the UV rays from further degrading the bladder. (Which is also the reason i like having a silver undercoat sprayed on all my models).

Sorry, but no plans available. Its a one off just like the real Tsunami. There are plans for a built up wing 1/2a Tsunami from Tim Stagg and Pat King also has plans for a 1/2a Tsunami in the works.
