EAA
CHAPTER 1111 BARBEQUE AND FLY TIME
Our
July 1st meeting was intentionally less business and more fun,
due to all the work done for the Young Eagles and fly In on June
12. My thanks to all of you who showed up with appetites,
and some with airplanes, for an evening of fun, food, and flying.
To
help offset the cost of the food purchased for the June 12the
event, the surplus food such as hot dogs, hamburgers, pop and
chips were sold. This food was supplemented with great salads,
cold cuts, pies. Thanks to all!
For
air work (Can we call it work?), Jim Ylvisaker, Mark Edwards,
Henry Schmitt, and Jerry Sorrell provided airplanes.
Our
next meeting will again be held at the EAA hangar on the
northwest corner of the field. Bring your lawn chairs. We will
have snacks, but will not be cooking. Save room for dessert.
Maybe we can go for the pie and ice cream this time. If you
have a flying machine, bring it over for an opportunity to give
rides to those who desire.
COMING
UP: Start thinking about the annual meeting. We soon have
to appoint a nominating committee. Every EAA member
participating in some way helps build the strength and
consistency of our chapter. Invite a friend who may be the next
EAA Chapter 1111 member.
ARLINGTON
FLY IN REPORT
On
Thursday, July 8, Mike Lewis and I flew to Arlington for a
day’s look at all of the vendor’s displays and various
aircraft. We had to alter the course, as clouds covered some of
the foothills along the route, east of Chehalis. Mike was taking
in-flight pictures with his cell phone / camera and sending them
to Sam and Sandy Archer who were at Arlington. This may be a new
method of “flight following” .
At
Arlington, we found Sam and Sandy stocking up on various goodies.
Sam said he was getting himself a birthday present. He was buying
for the future and was already up to his birthday in 2010, and
this was only the 2nd day of Arlington. (It is good to plan
birthdays ahead like this.)
EAA
headquarters sent me two booklets that are the NOTAMS for the
OSHKOSH fly in. These NOTAMS total 60 pages. Anyone planning
on flying in to Oshkosh will need these NOTAMS. Send me an e mail
if you want the booklet, if you would rather not download this on
your computer. Mail outs will be determined by order of e mail
receipt on my computer.
Congratulations
to Jim Ylvisaker!

Wag-Aero Super Sport makes first showing at Arlington. In spite of having to dodge rain showers to and from, Saturday was rain free and a good time for all. See you at the meeting, Mark
My name is Fritz Guenther and have
been down to several of your fly-ins. I am the Young Eagles
coordinator for EAA chapter 609 in Chehalis, WA.
Weather permitting we have scheduled our
annual Young Eagles Rally for Saturday, August 14th at the
Chehalis Airport from 9 am to 4PM. Food and beverages will be
provided for all YE pilots. We also have to date 200 gallons of
avgas and hope to have more fuel donations by then.
Following the rally we are going to have a
roast beef dinner for $6 /person.
We are asking all pilots to bring copies of
their liability insurance.
Fly Safe,

The last meeting was an impromptu wind-down
after the annual fly-in. The chapter met in the hangar and
had a pot luck style bar-b-que.
We will have a guest speaker who has had
many years of Navy flying experience in a variety of aircraft
from props to jets.
The weather should be OK, so if you have a
plane, bring it to the meeting and share a ride later in the
program.
Bob Taylor and his wife are vacationing in
the islands, so we will again be responsible for the
“food” part of the program.
Jerry Sorrell will bring ice cream. Will
everyone bring enough pie for themselves plus a little more, and
we will have pie and ice cream. And… bring your camp chairs
or folding chairs too.
There are still cold rinks in the
refrigerator, so we will sell this.
Our meeting will also be the time to appoint
the nominating committee for the officers to be elected in the
October meeting. It’s that time already!
Jerry
Sorrell has donated a 110-120 volt 1 horsepower air compressor, with
regulator, to the chapter. It will be placed in the EAA hangar.
It has a 25 foot hose but no fittings on the end. Who has some
quick connectors and a tire inflator? This compressor is good for
a standard spray gun, rivet gun, air drill, etc. It has pushed
enough air to paint at least 20 cars and assemble one RV-4 so it
has proven its worth. The compressor is not suitable to run air
sanders or long term use of grinders or cut off tools. That takes
about 5 horsepower to do a decent job. We hope the circuit
breakers are high enough amps at the hangar. This compressor
needs a heavy duty extension cord if it is to be any distance
from the outlet.

Vacation
rental for pilots - taken from an email...
Hi,
My name is Linda Tiritilli. My husband Tony & I are members
of EAA chapter 393 based at Buchanan Field in Concord, CA. Tony
& I bought a home at Roche Harbor Skyways, a residence
airpark on San Juan Island, WA. We hope to retire there in a few
years but in the mean time we've made it available as a vacation
rental for pilots. Please take a look at our website at http://www.lobsterfarm.biz/.
If possible we'd like to put an ad in your chapter newsletter
and/or a link on your website. We may be reached by telephone at
(925) 674-1001 or by return email.
Best regards,
Linda Tiritilli
Hello,
I live in Svensen, Or. near Astoria at Karpen
field. We don't have an EAA chapter down
hear, you guys are the closest. I am building a Bearhawk from
plans, it is steel tube and fabric fuselage and has all aluminum
wings. I am looking for some used tools. I need many clecos.
about 300 to 500 silver (3/32), 50 Black (5/32), and about 10 or
so brass (3/16), side grip clecos. I also am looking for other
tools; a rivet cutter, dimpling dies, a 3X rivet gun, rivet
squeezer, bucking bars, etc. I am also looking for someone within
a reasonable distance from where I live who has an 8ft. bending
brake.
I have most of my wing ribs completed and have all my spar webs
bent into "C" channel. I have acquired a few clecos
from my neighbor who has built a Starduster too, but need many
more. I already have many other tools useful in building a
homebuilt; drill press, tig welder, band saw, bench sander, etc.
and I built a 4ft. X 18ft. construction table that will be very
useful to another builder when I am finished with it.
I am hoping that a EAA chapter will start down here so that I can
get together with some local builders, buy you guys aren't that
far away.
thanks much,
Lloyd Biddlecome
