and there will be plenty to eat and drink.
Quickie Racking
If anyone is interested in
doing the Quickie 500 races please notify Skip Crain for further information.
Show and Tell
This month's show and tell
was a Goldberg Eagle 2. The airplane has been re-built and has new scratch
built wings and tail surfaces. After taking 8 oz. of weight off the airframe,
it weighs 4 pounds with an O.S. 40 for power.
Safety Minute
Mike Hudak reported on
several items that we should all make sure we don't do while flying. Taxing in
the pits is not allowed, airplane tie downs are needed while starting engines,
try to stay out and over from the pits while you're flying, and Mike also wanted
to remind everyone that we are all safety officers and we all need to do our
responsibilities while we're flying at the field.
Field Maintenance
Thanks to James Cistola,
the shingles on the pavilion roof have been replaced. Although, James said that
the pavilion is still in need of some repairs and is going to get an estimate
for those repairs.
Program
Carl Hauger brought a
vintage video on the World War 2 trainer, PT-19. It was a video describing the
characteristics on the airplane and how it compared to others at the time. It
also featured Fairchild history and factory scenes of aircraft and engine
manufacturing.
WRAM Show
There are plenty of seats
left for anyone that would like to go on the WRAM Show trip. It will be taking
place on February 21st, so hurry up and get your seats.

The 50/50 was $20 won by
Mike Hudak

Respectfully Submitted,
Ryan Jamison, Secretary
