| Over the last several years, I've come up with a whole bunch of ideas for mods to Grummans. The first mod was a fiberglass eyebrow. Let's face it the original plastic eyebrow really sucks. If you have to park your plane outside, a new original plastic eyebrow will warp and deform in about 3 months. Plus, if you have to replace any of the three light bulbs mounted in the eyebroiw you'll spend about 30 minutes taking it apart, replacing a 50 cent bulb, and putting it back together. My replacement eyebrow is made of fiberglass. Unlimited Composite Designs makes the eyebrows. |

They also make my new cowling, exit ramps, wingtips, wing roots, ailerrons, canopy, and whatever else I can come up with. Dave Chandler, the owner of UCD, started working in composites and fiberglass in 1982. Here are some of his most recent projects (2006) |
