IT’S MEETING TIME AGAIN!

The August Chapter 31 regular meeting will be held this coming Wednesday, August 5 with a BBQ beginning at 6 p.m. and our meeting starting at 7 p.m. Our own Alan Wieder will give us a presentation on the ins and outs of ADS-B. Even if you don’t have an airplane, or don’t plan on installing ADS-B hardware in your plane, the presentation should be really interesting to you. We also should have time for this month’s EAA Chapter Video. The weather forecast for our meeting date is a high temperature around 84 degrees so it should be reasonably plesant in the clubhouse by meeting time.

Progress continues on our RV-3 project. Alan Wieder and I pretty much finished up fitting the cowling to the airframe today. I have a request into Van’s Aircraft to find us a prop spinner. We’ll shortly begin fabricating an assembly to mount the propeller refinished by Virgil Pratt on the airframe. Since we won’t have an engine under the cowling a special, simple, assembly will need to be designed and mounted to hold the prop in place.

Bill and Dee Dewey and Doug Kindred have completed the installation of the Honor Plaza sprinkler system. Very timely due to our very hot weather! Bill managed to get the National Guard to dig the trench for the sprinkler line. Doug then installed the sprinkler system and Bill and Dee filled in the trench. Great job and a big thanks, guys and gal! Now it’s up to Randy to get our next order in for bricks. He will order two bricks in memory of Dave Heisley (one from our chapter and one from the Lane County RC Modelers), and is planning to see if Shelley Humble is ready to order bricks for Jug and Crash.

Don’t let the heat get you down. Come to the meeting and spend some time with some really COOL people!

President Gary
