August 2nd 2017 EAA 31 Meeting

This month we will focus on “Practical Chemistry”. (We’ll still get to Carbon Fiber Construction and The New Airman Standards but that is delayed for now) Wednesday August 2nd 2017 will discuss the use various chemicals, How to: Remove broken steel taps from aluminum, distinguish pot metal from aluminum, distinguish magnesium from aluminum, make a strong acid out of a weak one. How you can make a better penetrating oil (far superior than WD40 or Liquid wrench and MUCH cheaper). Chemicals to use to bust things loose. Chemicals to use for emergency repairs and to stick things together and much more! Presentation will include handouts so you won’t have to remember all this stuff. Just one of these tips will be well worth the price of admission, which, by the way, is only $5.00 bucks and includes a meal. Burgers and dogs with all the trimmings. If anyone is back from 2017 OshKosh, please give the rest of us a report.

Saturday Breakfast & Bill Dewey Master pilot award 7/15/17

THIS Saturday, not only our regular scrumpdelicious pancake breakfast with Eggs, OJ, Coffee, bacon, links, syrup, milk, butter & airplane talk for only $5 bucks, but we also will honor Bill Dewey (actually Curt Cowley and FAA will honor him) with the Wright Brothers Master Pilot award.  Bill normally volunteers to cook the pancakes, but we will need somebody to step in and give Bill a day off for this one.  See you this Saturday.  We expect more guests.

No EAA31 meeting Wednesday July 5th

Buried in a recent post about Young Eagles & the 4th of July was a mention that we would NOT have our regular 1st Wednesday Chapter 31 meeting.  Doing Young Eagles WAS our monthly activity for July – just in case you missed it.  Our next event will be Saturday July 15th when we and the FAA will honor Bill Dewey for 50 years of flight without a mishap.  Breakfast at 9:00 AM followed by that event.  More to follow on the post before that Saturday.

Pres John.

IMPORTANT EMAIL TEST – FOLLOW UP!

I have only gotten three responses to a post that was sent Saturday afternoon. I think part of the problem is that I asked you to respond DIRECTLY to me but did not include my email address! Sorry! You CANNOT just hit reply! Our system will not accept messages that way! The three of you that emailed me directly (Bridget, Alan and Bill Dewey) need not respond again. However, if the rest of you would send me an email at RV6AN200GL@CHARTER.NET (Note: the email is not case sensitive but I put it in all caps for emphasis), it would be greatly appreciated. We depend on email to get timely messages to our members. Not only will this test confirm who is in the database, but who actually reads their emails from Chapter 31.

Well, I’m off to the airport to fly the parade and then Young Eagles. I hope my back holds out so I can get in at least a half a dozen flights! . . . . Gary

IMPORTANT EMAIL TEST!!

The email database may be corrupted and have numerous member emails missing! If so, many may not be getting the emails that tell you there is a new post on the Chapter 31 website. This is a test message to see who is getting the email posts. PLEASE take a minute and respond DIRECTLY  to me at <RV6AN200GL@Charter.net> so I can see who is getting the Post Notifications. Thank you and happy flying!
