Volume 18 Number 7 July 13, 2020 The Frederick Flyer President’s Message Hello everyone, We are past Midsummer's Eve, so summer is officially here in Maryland. The humidity and thunderstorms are also a big clue. IN THIS ISSUE The chapter will be holding a small picnic (with social distancing in place) on July 18th at 6 pm. Rain date is the next day. If you can't make it, President’s Letter . .1 please reach out to one of the board members and let us know how you are doing, whether it is about your aviation endeavors or otherwise. Piper Cub News . 2 When you have a chance, I encourage you to look at the eaatogether.org website for all of the seminars and vendors that are July Picnic at FDK . 3 bringing the Spirit of Aviation to us via the internet. Much like going to Airventure in person, the hard part is choosing between two or more Pilot Proficiency Center . 3 interesting presentations. Personally, I am hoping for some good 'show' specials with the vendors (I'm a sucker for free shipping). RV-10 Progress Report . 4 Also keep in mind that our chapter IMC club will meet on-line on July 21st. If you have your instrument rating or are working on it, this CFII lead Board Minutes . 5 discussion ( with FAA Wings credit) is priceless. Other News . 5 We will be conducting another on-line Chapter Gathering on August 6th (see the calendar section of the newsletter for details).

The whole process went pretty smoothly and by Friday the 3rd (July), we were able to do a successful test run. On Monday the 6th we made two adjustments to the airframe that were suggested as a result of the first test flight in February. At that time the plane seemed to be a little right wing heavy, so the right rear strut was adjusted for more lift on that side. To fulfill requirements of an AD, we removed a single washer from each of the aileron turnbuckles. On Tuesday, the 7th we did a test flight. Everything checked out okay, although it is still slightly right wing heavy. So now the Cub is officially operational and soon we hope to begin giving rides to all those many folks who put so much time and expertise into this wonderful restoration. If you haven’t already, check out the July issue of Sport Aviation. You will find mention of our project in the “What Our Members are Building” section.
