EAA Chapter 59 Board of Director’s Meeting
Nov. 8, 2011
Attendance: Chet Chesnut, Ramona Chesnut, BJ High,
Kenny Grisham, Bill Lloyd, Pat Baucom (acting Chair), Pam
Brown, Robert Keck, Gene Franklin, Rich Hewgley, Jon
Botsford, Monty Suffern, Don Ray, Ken Langley
Meeting called to order 6:30 pm
Minutes of previous meeting: Approved on a motion by
Pat Baucom, seconded by Gene Franklin
Financials: The treasurer presented financial reports showing the Balance Sheet and Profit/Loss statement as at October 31, 2011, and these were accepted as an accurate account of the financial position of the Chapter. These also
reflected a first pay down of the Wag Aero Cub of $15,000 to
ensure the Chapter income for the year was more accurately
shown. Chet has already begun a hand-over to the incoming Treasurer, Ken Langley, to ensure a smooth transition.
It was moved by Pam Brown and seconded by B. J.
High that Kenny Grisham, Ken Langley and Brad Moffett be
the board members approved as signatories to the check
account with the Chapter bank. This was passed.
The N number for the Chief is to be registered so
that we have an FAA registered aircraft for sale. Ken Langley has the paperwork for the Chief, and Jim Young will be
contacted to liaise with Dan McKee on matters regarding
this aircraft.
Education and Activities Committee: (combined report).
The December 3rd activity will be twofold, involving a talk on
aviation fuels by Conoco-Phillips in conjunction with Reeder
Petroleum, and these companies will also provide lunch for
that day. The second activity will be a visit from operators of
a WWII C-47 (DC-3) aircraft to demonstrate and promote
their aircraft. Fuel for this visit is being graciously donated
by Conoco-Phillips, and the option of taking a short flight at
the pancake breakfast will be available for $50 per seat. A
discount is also being offered to EAA members for a more
extensive Christmas lights flight over the Fort Worth area.
Kenny Grisham is to ensure this information
reaches EAA national for inclusion in their newsletter.
The November Cola Flight will be to Killeen (ILE) on Sunday, Nov. 20th at 2:00pm.
(254)848-9072
The Chapter 59 Christmas party will be Tuesday,
December 6 at 7:00pm in the hangar, with a pot luck finger
food meal.
It was noted that the business meeting (as required
by the Constitution of the Chapter) was the October meeting
during which the election of Board members was held. Notwithstanding this, it was moved by Rich Hewgley and seconded by Kenny Grisham that the January First Saturday
meeting be designated a business meeting for 2011/2012.
Facilities report: The flameproof flammable materials cabinet is now installed along the South wall of the hangar
(thanks to Mike McMurtrey for this work). The Electrical
work outlined in the last minutes has been carried out with
additional power outlets on a separate circuit now installed.
The window in the upstairs area has now been installed
(with thanks to Billy Jack Waters and Boyce Vardiman).
The memorial bricks have now been delivered, and the next
task it to prepare the area where they will be laid.
Membership report: 174 paid members for 2011, with 17
already paid for 2012. Pam noted that we now have some
members who prefer not to drive at night, and asked for assistance for transportation for the Christmas party in particular, but for other events as well. Please contact Pam if you
are willing to assist.
Other business: Hats and shirts have been ordered.
Name tags are to be organized by John Lawson.
There being no other business, the meeting adjourned at 7:20pm
Monty Suffern, Secretary
The next general Chapter 59 meeting will be the Pancake Breakfast, Dec. 3, followed by
various activities in the EAA hangar at McGregor Airport (PWG).

NOTICES TO AIRMEN
Dave Wesley of EAA Chapter 524, Killeen donated several
King training video tapes for the A&P rating. B.J. High recently
brought in some aviation books.
Chapter 59 needs a Librarian and/or Historian. We have
a great selection of books & videos which can be checked out
by members. We have also recently received boxes of photographs from former newsletter editor, Noah McCullough, which
need to be culled & organized. If you are interested in aviation
but not currently holding any duties at Chapter 59, why not consider helping out with the library? Contact any board member
for further information.
Your humble editor would like to take this opportunity
to thank all the fine members who have contributed
photos & articles for the newsletter. Without your help,
the 59 Grapevine would be a wasted effort. If you enjoy
reading it, please consider sending in a submission.
Nice day? Want to fly out somewhere with fellow
members? Chapter 59 is trying out a Short Call-out List
for unplanned trips to lunch or another EAA Chapter’s
event. If you want to be notified by phone for these
impromptu gatherings, get on the list by contacting coordinator Pam Brown at [email protected] or
254-723-2558. She will develop a phone tree to get the
word out.
Anytime our U.S. President is traveling, TFRs go
with him. The EAA flight planning website can still help
with en-route TFRs, but be sure to call Flight Service
for pop-up information. P-49, by the way, has shrunk to
a 2 mile radius up to 2,000 feet MSL.
The advertisers in this newsletter allow us to
produce it and the web site at a very minimal cost.
They are our sponsors and support us, so please
support them. Don’t forget to tell them you “saw it in
the 59 Grapevine!”
WW II Museum, Corsicana
-Rick Hindman
I flew to Corsicana recently to get my semi-annual
fix of nostalgia. Well, semi-annual is not quite accurate; I
wax nostalgic a lot these days. Anyway, in case you were
unaware, they have a small but informative museum in the
FBO, which is managed by a very nice lady, Sarah Farley,
and her husband Gary, who is himself an A&P. Constructed in 1940 as a USAAF primary training field and
operated as Air Activities of Texas, a civilian owned and
managed facility. After training thousands of army pilots for
WWII, the field closed in October 1944 and became a storage depot for a short time.
One of the more notable cadets to pass through
here was Major Tommy McGuire, second only to Richard
Bong as top ace, and posthumous recipient of the MOH.
They still maintain one of the grass landing strips.
Two of the original hangars still stand, housing a variety of
aircraft. I’m including a photo of a Boeing/Stearman PT-17
‘Kaydet’ and a Fairchild PT-19 (M-62). Be sure to also view
the life-size statue of a cadet, which was dedicated in 2009.

We’ve just learned that Chapter 59 Honorary Member
Richard DeBaugh, of Knoxville. IL, passed away May 3, 2011.
Richard served in combat as a P-47 pilot in the Pacific during
WW II. Editor for the 41st Fighter Squadron’s veterans’ newsletter, he swapped newsletters with Chapter 59 for several
years. For our newsletter editor it was truly an honor to get to
know Richard DeBaugh and other pilots of the 41st Fighter
Squadron who served and fought gallantly in the Pacific Islands of World War II. Most of those aviators are gone now,
but they will always be remembered and honored.

Glider Check-out
By Rich Hewgley
The following is a very interesting report from
Rich Hewgley on his recent glider CFI recertification
checkout at Mid-Way Airport in Waxahachie. Rich
flew and instructed in gliders extensively from 19701975, but hadn’t flown one since 1999 when he
made this trip in October. He has about 200 glider
hours logged Carol Walker operates Big Q Aviation
at Mid-Way Regional & has a website at
www.bigqaviation.com. The Grob 103 sailplane
used for training has a 37:1 glide ratio with a sink
rate of less than 200 ft./minute.
I was able to do the complete check-out in exactly one
hour with four tows for four flights. It came out to .3 hrs to 3
thousand feet, .3 hrs to 3 thousand feet, .2 hrs to 2 thousand
feet, and .2 hrs to 400 feet for my simulated rope break. The
glider was $60.00 and the tows were $50+$50+$40+$40 for
$180.00 and the instructor's hours were 1.5 hours (the weekend
we did not fly) and 1 hour during my check-out. It all came to
$312.00 for the check-out and BFR. Then I flew for 30 minutes
with a tow to 4 thousand feet (the lift was gone) and that cost
$95.00 ($65.00 tow and $30.00 glider). So, all together the
check I wrote Carol Walker was for $407.00 dollars.
We briefed before each flight over what we were going to do. The instructor told me to do the tow on the first flight,
so he could find out how to deal with my abilities or inabilities.
Rich’s instructor took this shot just as the tow rope
was released.
He demonstrated the "box" and I did it just like he showed
me. Then I did all of the different kinds of stalls and other
maneuvers he briefed before the flight. Then he did the first
pattern entry and landing. He explained how to determine
your aim point depending on the different headwind speeds
so you could make it to the stopping point without undershooting or overshooting.
The second flight, we did slack rope procedures
and the "box" again and some steep spiral recoveries, and
accellerated stalls/critical angle-of-attack recoveries, which
were a lot of fun! We did some steeper stalls, with your feet
on the horizon. We did get a little lift near the downwind entry
point and I worked it for about four hundred feet. Then it was
my turn to do the entire pattern entry and landing. When
you are 45 degrees off from your aim point, determined by
the wind, start your base leg turn. Vary your turn radius to
maintain the correct distance to control your descent toward
the aim point. Keep the spoilers at one third deployed for a
smooth and more stable approach path. I was able to do all
of the procedures spot-on. I stopped the glider right on the
stopping mark.
The third flight was to two thousand feet and he had
me do the instructor duties. I briefed all that we would do
during the flight before tow. I became his instructor and explained to him how to do all of the maneuvers as I demonstrated them. After doing my instructor duties he had me fly it
like he was not in the cockpit. I went through all of the maneuvers on my own and he only made one comment when I
did the slack rope procedure, something about not taking out
the slack too abruptly and causing the rope to break. Otherwise, he said nothing else and my pattern and landing were
spot-on again. The wind was blowing around 10 to 15 mph.
He will tell you how to judge your aim point based on the
wind. The runway is 6,000 feet long and we are using the
first 4,000 feet, so the aim point is shortened by 1,000 feet
for each 5 mph of headwind. If the wind were 20 mph your
aim point would be about 500 or so feet

Regional Airport.
before the stopping point. You can figure this all out a lot easier from the cockpit. He will ask you what your aim point is
before each landing. Just do it the way he says and you will
have no problems making the stopping point.
The last tow was to 400 feet AGL. I was not thinking
about a simulated rope break, because I thought it would be
on the next flight. Steve did not warn me and I was suddenly
transfered into condition RED when the loud noise of the tow
rope popped away from my nose like a big rubber band. Suddenly I was making fast decisions and that means you can do
a 210 degree turn, followed by a 30 degree reversal turn for
the end of the runway. At 200 feet agl, you land on a road
slightly to the right and parallel to the main runway. It has telephone poles about 100 feet from your left wing tip. This time
you call out the check-list, "Pitch, speed and pull - pull", and
make your emergency radio call, while using the spoilers as
necessary to land on the numbers and coast to the stopping
point. I use a little brake to stop on the mark due to the tail
wind pushing me a little. He liked my technique very much. He
was happy and then we went inside and he filled out my log
book as he did the post/debrief.
I forgot to mention that there is a "before the tow"
check list on the side of your cockpit and you have to make a
radio call before your tow starts. As I remember it, it goes like
this. You are all strapped in. The ground crew guy or girl
shows you the tow rope and hook. You follow his or her direc-
tions, by opening the latch and releasing it. He or she will pull
on it and say release to check out the latches function. Then
he or she hooks it back and gives the signal to the tow plane
to take-up the rope slack. While that is happening you read
off the check list to the instructor, make your radio call for tow
-off, give the ground boy or girl a thumbs-up and he or she
will level your wings. I gave a rudder wave out of habit. I am
not sure if I should have or not.
The instructor wants you to lift-off when you have
the speed and hold it at one or two feet until the tow plane
lifts-off, and when you are settled in, to put his wings on the
horizon and hold that position until he tells you otherwise. On
my second tow, I lifted off a little before I was going fast
enough and my main wheel settled back down on the runway
a little and made a very light skidding sound. As soon as the
wheel touched the runway, I was at the correct speed to hold
it at one or two feet and steady behind the tow plane until he
lifted off.
He also uses the height of the compass as a pitch
indicator. One compass height below the horizon for level and
on the horizon for landing stalls/landing. He will tell you how
to use the compass height as a reference for all maneuvering, turns, etc.
I am asking friends to split the costs if they want to
go glider flying. If they are not friends, I will take them to MidWay Airport in my airplane for $80.00 dollars an hour and
they pay all of the costs for tow and glider and $20.00 per
hour in the glider for me. I think I am about to make a lot of
new friends. -Rich

Change You Can Believe In
Recently reading about the vast changes over
the past 30 years in motorcycle roadracing, reminded me
of the similar situation in recreational flying. Motorcycle
racing, at its highest level (MotoGP) has become a contest between high-tech engineers and financial resources
more than rider skill. The riders have become a smaller
part of the equation, making the sport more complex but
less interesting in some ways.
By the same token, the EAA used to be about
low cost, experimental aircraft and enthusiasts who either
built them from scratch or hoped to. How many EAA
members today would fly 1000 miles at 90 mph to Wisconsin to proudly show off an airplane they built for
$5,000.? Would they win a trophy? Times have
changed; homebuilt airplanes have changed (they don’t
even have to be built at home). The pilots who fly them
have changed, too. Some say the EAA has just gone
where the money is, but in democracy as we know it,
“money talks…” and you know the rest.
Of course, given a choice, would I have as my
main transportation the MGA with side curtains and no
air conditioning I drove in the ‘60s, or the typical modern
car of today? Would I rather fly cross-country in a 90
mph, bare-bones airplane I built from scratch, or a 200
mph, quick-build RV-7 with a nice panel and color GPS?
These questions are fairly easily answered, but the direction our organization has turned to is not so simple to
explain. Many of us who claim Social Security as a major
source of income dislike, for example, the new Sport
Aviation magazine. To us, it has become just another
fluffy general aviation magazine. What does a cabin
class, turboprop, production airplane have to do with
sport flying? We must consider, however, that we are
quite literally a dying breed, and those in power know it.
There may even come a day when experimental will be
removed from the EAA name. So, like with our resistance to text messaging and “apps” (whatever they
are), we are simply silicon armadillos left feet-up, flattened on the side of the information highway.
Or so it seems. But, fact is, we are all connected to the internet now, and there is more information at our fingertips than your wildest imagination
could conceive just a few short years ago. And this
information allows us to pursue our dreams of a bygone era, or the far-flung future. In our local EAA
chapter, we have the full range of builders and aviation
enthusiasts. While we have pilots who fly quick-build
kitplanes, we also have impressive craftsmen like Dave
Clay who has built a Sonex completely from scratch,
and Jim Warren who scratch-built a Rose Parrakeet
biplane. Watching these airplanes go together was
exciting for all of us, I hope, whether we aspire to such
lofty goals or not. The typical 21st century EAA member may not relate to Dave or Jim’s experiences, but
that’s OK. We all have in common flying for the enjoyment of aviation. And those of us at or near the end of
our flying days can still vicariously share in the excitement of pilots and their airplanes, as can those who
just hope, at this point, for an airplane in their future.
Yes, the EAA and Chapter 59 have definitely
changed over the years. The goals and aspirations of
our members have changed along the way. Our membership has grown dramatically since the days of meetings in a dirt floor garage or under the old tower at
TSTC. We all wanted and needed this growth, but with
it comes added responsibilities and vigilance on the
part of established (entrenched) members to stop and
extend a sincere welcoming hand to new faces at
Chapter activities. We need to be sure they feel welcome and important, whether they have dreams of flying a luxury “rocket ship” with more glass technology
than a modern airliner, or the most basic ultra-light.
And I hope those new members will not be shy about
seeking out those members with similar aspirations.
We all benefit from diverse interests.
As one of my movie heroes once said, “that’s
all I have to say about that.” -McMains
Breaking news! One of the first ONEX kits is now in the
possession of the partnership of Chapter 59 members Phil
Davis & Derick Hodges. The ONEX (pronounced 1 X) is the
new single seat version of the Sonex. Here’s a photo of the
kit arriving at Phil’s beautiful workshop. They have promised photo updates for the newsletter each month.
