Tyler Gray Models Newsletter April 2024

From the Hangar

First and foremost, I want to thank everyone that reached out to me with kind words about Taffy. The shop is definitely not the same. Argo and I are learning a new routine.

The shop is humming with builds and projects as we near the first big event for the year (Helicopter Scale Masters). TGM will be hosting tacos in the pits on Friday evening. Hope to see everyone there!

We're hoping next month we can showcase the semi-scale flybar for the Roban Hueys. We're just finishing up the prototype and hopefully we'll be testing very soon. Fingers crossed, next newsletter we'll have photos.

We just had a large uniLIGHT order come in. Keep an eye on the website as we add the new lights.

I know I'm writing this at the eleventh hour, and I apologize for not getting it out sooner. We're also working on more YouTube content, so stay tuned.

Below is what it was like to work on and around the Sikorsky Skycrane during a startup for an initial attack fire operation. I spent a large amount of my career on this aircraft. Enjoy!

From the Hangar It really feels like I was just writing the last newsletter yesterday. I can't believe how close we are to the first of the year already! The rain is starting to fall here in the Pacific Northwest. Much like the weather, it's time to transition into full shop season. I'm excited to focus and try to achieve the ever elusive 'getting ahead in the shop.'

Am I the only one thinking this year is turbocharged and is just flying by!? Well, fingers crossed it slows down during the summer months when we are all out flying the day away! From the Hangar First and foremost, I want to thank everyone for their patience with order times and the website being down for a week. I think at the end of the day, moving the site to a new platform has created a much better user experience and will help TGM continue to grow. As noted above, TylerGrayModels.com has...
