this is my tb2 that i have made many years ago thisone is completely made of wood and is about 76cm long.
My newone is made of epoxy with fiberglass and is completely hollow so she is much lighter ,and i can put some stuff in there such as the materials for he hydraulic legs and a cabin with light.I have made a picture with my new one and this old one to compare how big my new thunderbird 2 is
