The
next Chapter meeting will be held on
Saturday
August 21st at Emmet
Field in Monmouth.
Emmet field is Mark Hayden’s
airstrip on 86 Old Lewiston road in Monmouth.
This
is a combination Fly-in and Chapter meeting which is open
to the public. Mark has lunch available so plan to be
there late morning.
The
July meeting was held on Tuesday the 13th @ Tom Muller’s
hangar at KLEW. Weather threatened us throughout the
evening but never materialized. Tom gave a condensed
diatribe on what is available to pilots on extended cross
country’s for weather via computer based and GPS
technology. We had a small hot dog barbeque, and as with
most off site meetings, attendance was quite strong. There
was also a sneak peak available of the Glastar being
mounted on floats, which is turning out to be a real
challenge. I’ll save that for another time.
DJ’s
Sportsman project has been moved to my house to help
accelerate the projects progress, and will be the focus of
the September meeting.
The
Sportsman is a slightly larger version of my airplane with
a larger payload. It
has a large back door for access into the baggage area, or
for a third and fourth
seat. The area is cramped for adults, but would hold
smaller framed people or children quite comfortably.
If left strictly for baggage, the area is huge and
the door makes for superb access.
