Pond Racer

On with more picture updates.

Test fitted the spinners/propellers. Started to work on the tail fins and the seat belt assembly. For the tail fins, I cut a small piece of a toothpick and placed a portion into the fin and the other into the tail. There is not much clearance for the extensions so they have to be cut a bit small. This is to keep the dihedral and strengthen the fins at this weak juncture.

The seat belt I made from excess foil material from my knife blades. It has a ribbed look to it and will conform to the shapes you place it in. The next posting will be on the landing gears.
