Theater in the Woods was the site of years award presentations at Oshkosh. Oshkosh'94 Red Marron, quietly sitting in the audience, experienced a rapid increase in blood pressure as he heard Chapter 168 mentioned as the second place finisher in the Reserve Newsletter competition. I'm sure he was grateful that he attended Oshkosh, after his brief visit in Fond du Lac, to take pride in his chapters' recognition during this years Grand awards. (Welcome to Fond du Lac, Red!) Thanks to all those members who have contributed material to Hangar Echoes this Champion past year. It wouldn't have been possible without your input. But, like my Grand Daddy always said, "Steve, close only counts in Horseshoes and Thermonuclear War." So, maybe next year, huh?

Dear Fellow Members,

Sometimes the weather.just does not want to cooperate with you. Tom Moe and I attempted to return from a short visit to Oshkosh on Tuesday, August 2nd. After dropping off a friend in Iowa, we were unable to get under, or legally over, a stalled front along the Iowa/Missouri border. Therefore, I missed our Chapter Meeting. So, we spent the night with Tom's family, which made the lengthened trip a lot more pleasant. I came back commercially on Wednesday, and Tom brought the airplane home on Thursday. Next time one of us will have an IFR ticket. I would like to thank my fellow Officers for covering the Meeting for me in my absence. I understand that they also did some impromptu work to put a program together at the last minute. I promise not to fly myself again on the same day as the Meeting. I understand from several reliable witnesses that we had an excellent turnout for the August Fly-in at terrell. Over twenty planes came in, and a number of people took the opportunity to visit the Silent Wings glider museum. I would like to thank our hosts, Dian and Tommy Spangler, for helping us have another successful Fly-in. I was unable to attend the August Fly-in because I was_participating in an aircraft marshaling training session for the All-American Sport Aviation Fly-in (9/ 16-18 at Alliance Airport), at Spinks Airport. We will be holding a similar training session(s) for Dallas area marshal and wing walker volunteers in the Dallas area before the Fly-in. As you have probably noticed, we are still holding our Meetings in the Farmers Branch Manske Library (FBML), instead of the Senior Adult Activity Center (SMC), which we have used for the last several years. We will be holding our meetings, unless we decide to move, in the Library from now on. I have been as upset as many of you about this quick change of events. Some explanation of this is in order. Farmers Branch sponsors an ethnic dance group which meets twice a week for practice sessions, Tuesdays for grade school children, Thursdays for teenagers. They are not a large group, but their music and foot action is loud. The school gym they had been using was not an ideal local, their dancing tended to drown out the music. So, the city of Farmers Branch has been trying to find them a better location to use from their available facilities. The relocation for the summer was supposed to be temporary, while the school gym the dancers had been using was closed. The SMC is a better facility for the dancers, but it is not ideal, Conversely, we can easily use the FBML, while the dance group cannot. At the end of the summer, after looking at all of their options, the city of Farmers Branch decided to relocate us to the FBML and to keep the dance group in the SMC. I was told that the decision went all the way to the City Manager's Office. I was only informed of the decision after it was made. Unfortunately, neither I or the Board suspected that this option was being considered. At this point, I can only plead ignorance and naivete in the ways and methods of local government. I will be a lot more vigilant in the future. Our September Meeting will feature aviation photographer Jim Wilson, as our guest speaker. Jim has taken the excellent photographs that can be seen hanging in several local FBO's, Exec Air in McKinney has several. I am looking forward to seeing more of his work at the meeting. In addition, we are working on having another airplane ride as the door prize. Let's keep building and restoring, so we can keep them, and us, flying.

I had always wanted to build the Osprey II. Finally got a good deal and got it. Now, it has all things to build, including wood, fabric, some fiberglass work and a lot of weld­ ing. Some of these may scare a person away from doing a plane with all these ingredients. One of the items is welding. With practice on scrap pieces you can become pretty good, but it takes practice to get faith enough to weld a part for your machine. There are various welding types and equipment. The TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) is common and good but it can be expen­ sive. MIG (Metal Inert Gas) has a wire feed, is very good, and can be used to weld alloy steels, aluminum, stainless and magnesium. Most home builders use the oxyacetylene method. A good rig can be around $250 and is practical. You can heat metals for bending and it works very well on 4130 chromoly. It takes practice, and I enjoy playing around with the torch.( Somebody keep an eye on this guy! Ed.) There are a lot of good books out on welding. So don't let a plane-be put on the shelf because of welding. There are several members in the Chapter that have wood projects going. So you can always get help for your needs. If any one thing slows you up on a decision, check around, you can get help. Of course, there are those who like all metal planes, and there is a lot of available experi­ enced people to help you out. You can do sheet metal work, and from the manufactured planes I see every day, you can do as good if not better. Our chapter needs to have more projects started. We have a lot of new people coming in, but are undecided about which way to go. Give them your support. PAGES
