EAA CHAPTER 640, HAYMEADOW FLYERS
August 9, 2014
Bob Mohr’s hangar on the Wausau Airport
Meeting: The meeting was called to order at 12:55 pm, after we ate a really great lunch provided by Bob Mohr.
Thank you Bob!. 21 members and guests attended. Bob asked for additions and/or corrections to the July meeting
minutes as printed in the August Haymeadow Flyer. None were offered, so Rick Coe made a motion to accept the
minutes as printed and Terry Oestreich seconded his motion. The motion passed. Bob asked for corrections to the
July Treasurer’s report as printed in the August Haymeadow Flyer. Again none offered, so Rick Coe made a
motion to accept the minutes as printed and Terry Oestreich seconded his motion. The motion passed.
New Members: Derick Pauls introduced himself and joined the Chapter. Derick is a student pilot and one of the
Baby Ace volunteers.
Guests: Rob Flannery, a former member who now lives in Durango, CO, and his son Sean attended the meeting.
Project Reports:
Ron Detert reported that he is beginning to do the engine installation on his MiniMax project, and has had
some setbacks.
Darlene Unertl reported that the Aviators By Design group now have the engine and prop for their Zenith
CH-750 project and are selling raffle tickets for a motor scooter to raise money.
Dustin Burt reported that he and his dad Glenn are beginning to cover the fuselage of their Fokker Tri
Plane.
Dave Harm reported that his RV- 10 project’s ailerons and flaps are now finished and he is ready to order
the fuselage kit.
Baby Ace Wrap-up: Wyatt Chmiel provided the magnetos and mag gears for the Baby Ace. The Chapter should
reimburse him for the cost of those. Rick Coe made a motion to do this and Dave Conrad seconded Rick’s motion.
The motion passed. Syd will give Wyatt a check for that amount.
New Business:
Chapter members received AirVenture publicity and awards:
1. Glenn’s Sopwith Pup on Channel 7 & AOPA.
2. Baby Ace in Wausau Daily Herald, AirVenture Today & Milwaukee Journal Sentinel & opened
the airshow at AirVenture on Wednesday.
3. Syd’s Ercoupe in AirVenture Today & air-to-air photos.
4. Mike Weinfurter’s L-19A won the Warbird Judges’ Choice Award.
AirVenture Cup race wrap-up and expenses: Bob reported that 41 planes were in the race, the fastest
flying at about 300 mph. He said that there was not enough advance publicity for the race. $650 was spent
on food and beverages for the racers and crew. Rick Coe made a motion to reimburse Bob for this expense,
and Terry Oestreich seconded the motion. The motion passed. Syd will give a check for that amount to
Bob.
Nominating Committee for next year’s officers: Bob appointed Dave Conrad, Keith Mathews and Jake
LaSee to the Nominating Committee. Selections of the Nominating Committee will be announced at the
September meeting and published in the September Haymeadow Flyer. Nominations from the floor will be
accepted prior to the election at the October meeting.
Next Chapter 640 project? Fisher Classic Bi-plane or Wittman Buttercup?
Syd received an email from a man who said he would like to donate his father’s Fisher project to the
Chapter for finishing. Dave Conrad said he was kind of reluctant to take this project on, since it is already
covered and may have problems, which are covered up, plus the wood may be in bad shape after sitting for
25 years. Bob Monk said someone should look at the project. Rick Coe, Kurt Mehre and Terry Oestreich
volunteered to look at it. Syd said he would contact the son and arrange for a meeting.
Upcoming meeting schedule:
September 13 (Saturday) – Terry & Judy Oestreich’s Flying “O.”
October 11 (Saturday) – Tomahawk airport at noon.
November 8 (Saturday) – Syd Cohen’s hangar on the Wausau Airport.
December 13 (Saturday) – Combined Chapter Christmas Party at Merrill.
The meeting was adjourned at 1:39 pm. Motion by Rick Coe, seconded by Bob Monk
