Answer - two great products from Corrosion Technologies: CorrosionX and RejeX. Mike Tuite is the majority owner and president of Corrosion Technologies. Mike has been an instrument-rated pilot and avid participant in the General Aviation scene for more than 25 years. After getting his private license in the 1970’s, he went to work for what was then the Aero Commander Division of Rockwell International as advertising manager. He was “promoted out” of that job, and spent the next several years working on the Space Shuttle program, for which Rockwell was the prime contractor. After a number of years out of the industry, but still actively flying, Mike returned to his aviation roots in 2001, joining Corrosion Technologies Corporation in Dallas, Texas. The company manufactures CorrosionX, a high-tech anti-corrosion product used in everything from home-builts to the Space Program, and RejeX, a soil barrier created for the military and now a well-accepted wax replacement for aircraft, cars, trucks, boats and RVs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Chapter Fly Out on September 13th is the Sulphur Springs 8th Annual Fall Fly-In.

Shortstop is the turf strip owned by Chapter members Larry Klutts and Mel Asberry. The 1400 ft. strip is 2 miles east of Farmersville. Mel's new hangar has the slab finished and he expects the unassembled hangar to be delivered the first week in November. Some of us Chapter members can probably expect a call from Mel to bring our wrenches to his hangar raising one of these weekends. Many of us dream about having our own private airport.

I understand that he will be assisted by several others including the Sinclairs who accom- plished the task of producing the Flappings for many years. Again, their tireless work is appreciated by all of us. We had our May Board of Directors meeting on Thursday, the thirteenth with several issues dis- cussed which included member participation and cooperation as to septic issues, rainwater drainage control, flagrant violations of CCRs as to storage of materials and vehicles on lots. Ted Kelso, Carol Moran, and Bob Avery will combine their efforts to interview Excavation Contrac- tors/Engineers with a start date of July as to drainage improvements. Also slated are repairs to pumps and electrical on Septic field east of Hangar #554 which I’m told serves about six residences.
