Here is what I have been working on.

There are parts for three Geo Bear type planes.

The small fuse on the right is a standard 2" spinner. The center fuse is the Furias. The one on the "big one" 3" spinner and 4" wide fuse. 21" hinge to hinge moment and so on.

The second photo is the three wings for the these fuses and stabs.

The third photo is the MA2 I have had in the works for a year. I lost interest. But after flying one I was hooked. It uses the Tom Morris removable wing method. The same stuff PW "The Master" uses on the Miss America.

The fourth photo is the molded wing halves I have been working on. The middle part is the latest one coming out of the mold fully in primer. Cool.

The last photo is my little helper, Grace. She already has a 20 point finish!

The planes are nice but the cheerful child is beautiful.

Yeah Doug,
Nice models but beautiful baby.
Chris...

so what's some of the spec's on that smiling ornothopter you have there!?

Hi Doug
How does the weight of the moulded wing compare to your built up versions. What area is it. I've often wondered why stunters haven't used composite glass/carbon/Kevlar fuses and why moulded balsa shell technology seems to be the preferred method to conventional built up techniques?
Lovely work.
Cheers John

The composite wings are copies of the wood wings in the other pics. A Geo-bolt wing. They are quite a bit heavier than wood ones. They are all glass and Rohacell at this time. I plane to substitute some lighter carbon when I go for it for real. Right now I am still learing the molding stuff. However they are coming out ready to paint the wod wings still have to be covered and filled and primered.

Grace is now 5.5 months old and growing up every day. She is getting to be a alot of fun. She is always testing out her voice and spitting alot too! She rolls over and can go all the way across the floor if you let her! Wont be long and she will be crawling.

BOM? I dont know I only built half...

WRONG!

You can't give Grace no finishing points!

It would be like giving points to the Sun to the stars, etc.

Can Doug claim full appearance points including BOM for Grace?

NO! Because this was obviously a "sub-contracted" job. She's just to pretty to be Doug's.

Doug, you all have fun this weekend at Big-D. Sorry I can't make it.

Fantastic work, Doug.

Your daughter is just beautiful!

(Seeing as how you are mass producing stunters now, maybe you should try the same technique for children? )

Very best regards,

That young lady sure is georgus!!She will bring lots of joy to you and her mother...
By the way she must get her good looks from her mothers side as I have seen you and your brother!!!! Gil;)

Concerning Gracie,
1.Did you learn that on Windy Video's?
2.I knew all those suggestions about the TOC did not come from you!
3.Look how productive you've become now that you have help.
4.My feeling is that she is still too young to assist you with the driving to the Nat's.
5.Her hands are way too small for hand starting your 4 strokes.
6.Yes, you still will have to use your stooge.
7.Last but not least, automotive paint can indeed withstand drool.

She is a real cutie.
