The Bowlus molds were supposedly of concrete for the plywood body (kit version).
I am not sure if the same huge concrete molds were used for the fiberglass

Since the last overall update on 10/31 I've completed another Genie LT/S, my

and

Imagine if your glider could sense thermals by onboard electronics and
actually soar them by itself.

Imagine...You'd have nothing to do but launch retrieve it. Of course
that could be solved by computers too, so all you'd have to do is take
the planes to the field and assemble them. Then you could sit back in
your chair read a book to stave off the boredom of watching a glider
fly itself.
I wonder how the free flighters feel about just launching and retrieving
it? They seem to enjoy themselves. 8-)
We are along way from taking the sticks away from anyone that wants to
control their models manually, which BTW, I enjoy immensely.
But this type of technology fascinates me, and
Two airframes have been spoken for, so I presently have no more I'm willing
to part with.

Idle curiosity prompts me to ask.
Is there anyone on this list who is also active with R/C sailboats?
Please contact me off line.

move in opposite direction. Worked pretty well, turn it off and on with
