Chapter 723
Hangar Happenings
Hanger One:
Nothing new here. (Dick has been flying two to three times per week weather permitting)
Hanger Two:
Gary Van Meter is working on completing the elevator control. He is also fitting the baggage door and is designing the hinges and latch.Sounds easy, but it's Not.
Geoffrey Paterson has completed fitting the wing tips on his RV9A and is using a hinge and pin method of attachment. Next is fitting the lights. He wants to include the landing and taxi lights into the wing tips. Fitting the fairing between the horizontal and vertical stabilizers is the next task followed by the canopy.
Don Nelson is working on the aileron control and attachment. It's not so simple because the fabric covering must be on the ailerons before they are attached.
Doug Wagner has completed the fuel fillers on the main tanks of his Verieze and is now starting to work on the header tank filler.
Ron Hansen's engine is being shipped back from the engine shop. He will probably be mounting it this weekend. (April 30/May 1)
Other recent activity:
Ali Moghaddas was experiencing very high oil pressure on his Express and found that the spring in the oil pressure relief valve was the cause. After replacing it, he is continuing to fly off his required time.
The chapter has tiedown space for at least three airplanes.See Mike Reed or Dick Crowe for details.
