Default bell tailwheel

Received mine today, looks excellent--fit was tight, just had to polish the pin slightly , otherwise appears to be tough and lite and working well. Thanks Doug and hope pop is doing well.

Doug, I hope your dad pulls through and feels better soon. I sent an email and am just waiting for a price so I can order. No rush, just want to get in the queue while I can.

he has my brother helping now so it is picking up.
We just sent 20 forks out in the last couple days and 17 more expected to out next week.
We're catching up and the list isn't too long now.
Will do! When you talk to your dad send him a big "THANK YOU" from the RV Community. As he already knows what he's started. "Ya know they don't make them like they use to". Probably a statement that rattles through your dads mind when he looks at something today, "I can make that better" attitude he has.
Again, thank you and it's good to see that the whole family is adding to your dad's creation and vision.

Take care,

Bruce Gray

Default A work of ART!

Doug and Mike,

Your tailwheel fork is truly a work of art. Beautiful to the eyes, perfect in every regard.

James and I spent at least half the day yesterday talking about your workmanship and, even in old age, your fathers work ethic - its what this country was built on and we're darn proud to have a part of it on our airplane.

Thank you very much, and please do say HI to dad for us.
