EAA Chapter 72

"Havin' Some Fun At The Airport"

Saturday, August 21, 2010

 

We'd like to see everyone come out for a fun day. We'll begin with Young Eagle flights at 8:30 am then move upstairs in the hangar for our meeting and then back downstairs for a potluck lunch. See details of all below.

 

Young Eagle Rally

 

Since we've had to cancel the other Young Eagle Rallies this year due to weather, we are all crossing our fingers that this one goes well.

 

Pilots

If possible, we would like to have all of the planes at the hangar in time for the pilot briefing at 8:00 AM.

 

Ground Support

We need at least a couple to come early, about 7:00 AM to help setup. We would appreciate everyone arriving by 8:00 AM for the briefing and assignments.

 

Take a few minutes to email and let us know if you can help.

Chapter Meeting

 

Program:

Aaron Hollingsworth - Gravity Ride

 

Have you been finding it hard to get instruction for the Light Sport certificate? Well look no further!

 

A new LSA operation has moved into Meadow Lake Airport with opportunities for you to get instruction and even join the LSA aeroclub.

 

The meeting will start at 11:00 AM in the MLAA Hargar (upstairs).

 

Aaron will take a few minutes to show some highlights of the Quad City CHallenger video, discuss the fun

had with ultralight/light sport flying,

and what is being set up with

Gravity Ride.

 

We'll then move downstairs to join the potluck in progress and maybe see the Challenger in flight.

 

Please have your dishes arrive at 11:00 AM so that lunch can start at 11:30AM.

 

 

Bring your favorite side dish, casserole, salad, or dessert and join us, family and friends for a fun day at the airport. The chapter will provide meat, burgers, brats, hot dogs, grilled chicken breasts and beverages.

 

Esther Smith will be on sight to organize and if you have questions, please contact by email or phone her at (719) 637-0876.

PROJECT TOUR

2010

Click any of the photos to see the entire gallery.

 

 

 

Well, our first project tour on a Saturday was a big success. Thanks to all the guys who flew over from Springs East and to everyone that opened up hangars and let us see "what's going on behind close doors".

 

Thanks to John Lingwall for bringing over his tractor and trailer to transport us around the airport.

 

Thanks also to Bartlett Hay Co for "loaning" us the hay bales to sit on.

 

 

 

 

Looking for a place to fly? Try the "Coffee Clatch" at Springs East (A50) some Saturday. Check the schedule here.

 

 

Pick up your copy of the new Wicks Catalog at the meeting.

Jay Brinkmeyer RV10 Progress

 

Engine done at last! Waited a long time to get an A&P to stop by to check and then re-seat the main crank seal as it was leaking all over the place. Then it was short work to attach flywheel and torque the main ALT belt. Attached the cowl so I'd not be tempted to sink more hours into messing around in there for a while.

Sean Blair - Building RV 7A

 

After he sold his RV-10, Sean started an RV-7A.

 

We were all impressed with Sean's work on the RV-10, but this new project is being built at home.

with his steady progrss.
