    Yep. Its slow progress, but progress nonetheless. Each step is a step closer to it flying and racing again.

      Thanks for the updates guys. Been a long time but now seems much closer to a new reality.

        Also important to note that although we've only been seeing progress on the fuselage, don't forget that the horizontal stabilizer is skinned as well, and I believe the outer and inner wing panels for both wings are in jigs, with ribs in place and possibly even more. Put all of that together and it REALLY looks like an airplane!

            Are the team at Stead again this week? I'd love to see pics if so, if anyone happens to pass by.

                Sadly I do not believe they are at Reno this year. I did not see them in my fast walk through the vendor's area.

                      Correct , no Tsunami booth at Reno 2022.

                        From Walter Johnson:
                        "We were unable to attend reno this year due to being to a point of construction that prevented us from transporting Tsunami and elected to put our time and resources into making progress. Here a a couple progress pics. We hope to have more progress content in the near future."

                            Yes It looks very close to the "sit in it an make engine noises" phase of construction.

                            It would have been great to see it in the tent at Reno this year, but I'm hoping this means we're closer to seeing it on the ramp some Sunday afternoon soon making its own engine noises.
