Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter 168 Dallas, Texas Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter 168 Dallas, Texas April 1993 Volume 24 Issue 4 Sam Cooper Chapter 168 members enjoying the warm and sunny weather at the March Fly-in held at Rockwall Municipal Airport. After we endured Fly-ins during January and February with less than favorable weather conditions, the March 6th Fly-in was a very pleasant surprise. The excellent weather brought out 17 airplanes, 6 of which were homebuilts. This was complemented by a sizable crowd of Chapter members out enjoying the spring like weather. This is what flying in the Spring in Texas is all about. Start thinking about April.

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.

  • Short Final at Shortstop
    Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter 168 Dallas, Texas October 1991 Volume 22 Issue 10 Short Final at Shortstop This is your view as you approach Shortstop Airport on short final over the railroad tracks. 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. It is nice to see some of our Chapter members making it a reality. Good Luck.

Emma Carter Browning has been involved in aviation since her first flight in 1929. She married Robert Browning Jr. in 1930 and became his ferry pilot as he barnstormed across Texas. Together they owned Browning Aerial Service, a fixed-base operation that originated in Abilene and later moved to Austin, Texas. Mrs. Browning obtained her pilot’s certification in 1939. Although she taught many individuals to fly she was more at home managing Browning Aerial Services.

    Lancair N197DA Gets its Color By Michael Stephan Don Bird now is flying his very nicely painted Lancair Legacy. I recently has a chance to go flying with Don in N197DA, and what a nice airplane it is. Immediately you notice this EFIS screens, which have sharp, bright displays. It is the first time I saw the Chelton system in action, and I was very impressed. Don has some other instruments that I recognized. The Chelton navigation system is coupled to the Trutrak auto- pilot and Don demonstrated how well they work together. Other than some minor tweeking, which Jim Younkin was willing to do for him, the combination is terrific. Don let me fly for a bit and I noticed a very stable N197DA is powered by a fuel-injected, turbo-charged airplane and nicely balanced controls. It was a real O-360, which means that Don has a very powerful cross pleasure to fly. country flier that will be very fast and efficient at upper Don did a real nice job building N197DA, and he altitudes. should be very proud as he races across the sky to his Our demo flight took us over Greenville at 6000 ft.
