Tsunami rebuild update

[RebuildTsunami]

Hello everyone, we wanted to take some time to update everyone on the latest goings on with the tsunami project and post a few pics, it's certainly been interesting and things are really beginning to ramp up!

First of all we're glad to say that we've been hard at work on the horizontal and vertical stabilizers and have already begun skinning the elevators. We're also glad to say that we've started fabricating or repairing any damaged structure in the aft fuselage. Thus far things are going well and things are right on schedule.

If you'd like to help rebuild Tsunami check out our website; http://www.rebuildtsunami.org , or look us up on facebook.

also, check out our mentorship program at http://www.flightexpo.org .

fly fast!

Just out of curiosity, is it known the total flight hours of Tsunami?

Thank you,
Steve

Reever, i can't be 100% certain as i don't have the flight logs in front of me but i believe it was something on the order of 500 hours. she was flown fairly often.

I thought it might be cool to add an update to the thread. Since the people rebuilding it haven't been able to go to work, they have gone to work on Tsunami.

From November 23 2019



Not a lot different from what we saw at Reno last year.

Feb 8, 2020 Fuselage floor crossmembers were assembled and primered.



March 2020







April 4 2020 update... Cockpit parts.






April 7, 2020 the floor went in.


April 21. More cockpit fabrication.







May 5... "Instrument panel all set...(insert airplane noise here)"



Walter and Johnny are making some good headway. We might see an assembled fuselage at Reno 2020 (assuming Reno happens.) Photos linked with permission from Walter Johnson.
