Young Eagles:
~ Kenny Grisham after willingly supervising and directing the
Young Eagle activities every Sunday since Mr. Bob Mangus’

due to personal obligations which preclude him from continuing
to serve in this area. If anyone feels to step in and responsibly coordinate and supervise our dedicated Young Eagles,
please contact President Monty Suffern or Kenny Grisham.
This is an urgent need and we owe it to our young group of
aviation enthusiasts to be there to offer guidance and organize
activities for their further participation in their aviation pursuits.

NOTICES TO AIRMEN
Our Annual Awards Banquet will be held February
18th, 6:30 pm at the EAA59 Hangar. Please come and
share this special time with your fellow aviators!
On Saturday, January 2, our cook staff arrived bright
and early for our First Saturday Breakfast to find the
kitchen sinks clogged. Ouch! Still the pancakes and sausage were as good as ever. Thanks to all who helped to
make that possible, especially to the Lawsons and Bob
Coomes who kept to the schedule of preparing the meal
while others worked on the drain problem. It is truly
amazing how many folks it takes to make this monthly
event a success. Rumor has it that the Waterbury girls
flew to Chapter 59 as fully qualified, ATP rated angels.
We are sure you appreciate the hard work of those
volunteers in the kitchen. Please remember to thank
them for they great job they do, while the rest of us do
what we do best- eat, socialize and eat some more.
Be a contributor to the Chapter 59 Grapevine. Please
send articles and/or photos to Homer Dale Cox by the
10th of the month at [email protected] and copy Mike
McMains, [email protected]. Please use single
spacing and indented paragraphs for text. The plan is for
Homer Dale to edit text, crop photos and do whatever he
can to ready the items for publishing with the assistance
of Mike. This process takes time and must be completed
several days before the publication date to get the newsletter out on time.
Anytime our U.S. President is traveling, TFRs go with him.
TFRs also go into place at sports and special events. A quick
& handy source of planned TFRs can be found on the
internet. Just type in www.faa.gov, then click on
TFRs. Mapped details are available there. It just takes a
minute to do this before each flight. P-49 is still at Crawford but has shrunk to a 2 mile radius up to 2,000 feet

are our sponsors and support us, so please support
them. Don’t forget to tell them you “saw it in the 59
Grapevine!”
Prez Sez –January 13, 2016
It is said that the success of an organization can
be measured by how it operates when key figures are
missing – either temporarily or otherwise. On that basis,
congratulations EAA Chapter 59 for the handling of a
few crises while I was in Australia for most of December
and part of January. I hear that we had some storms while
I was away, one strong enough to quite severely damage
our large hangar door. A number of people stepped in and
made the necessary repairs – one broken cable, two broken latches, and one bent door plus a few odds and ends.
Many thanks to Homer Dale, Ernie, Pat, Phil, and likely a
couple of others I have not heard about at this stage (I
have only been back 4 days). This really is how great organizations operate. My special thanks to Colleen Lawson
also who presided over two Board meetings in my absence.
My time in Australia was mostly family oriented,
along with catching up with a few friends from time to
time. Our Christmas celebration on the Saturday before
Christmas day was hot (over 100 degrees), so we spent a
lot of the day in the swimming pool. I guess that is different from Waco. My family of four children is spread over
about 250 miles in the State of Victoria (capital city, Melbourne), so that kept me busy with lots of driving (mostly
on the wrong side of the road), although I did also visit
friends in Sydney and my brother in Brisbane for two
days. I caught up with ex colleagues at Swinburne Univer-
sity in Melbourne, and talked with the person who took
over the Aviation programs from me who reported that this
too is doing very well, and without my help. It now has over
500 students in the program, and I must admit to a certain
degree of pride to have helped establish such a vibrant
program which continues to grow and flourish.
The trip to Australia is not as daunting as you all
might think. The direct flight from DFW to Sydney was less
than 15 hours, and the return flight had a good tail wind
and took 14 hours 35 minutes. Going over, takeoff from
DFW was about 8:30pm, so by the time they served dinner
while I watched two movies (Bridge of Spies and Mission
Impossible – rouge nation) and read a few pages from a
book, it was 1:30am Waco time, which is the time I normally go to bed. I managed to sleep around 7 hours, albeit
rather fitfully, so we are now at about my normal waking
time of 8:30am Waco time (even though we are now high
over the Pacific Ocean). Watch a few episodes of the Big
Bang back to back with no ads (alright then, six episodes)
and breakfast is served prior to landing in Sydney at 6:01
am local time. My body figures it is about 1 pm. A quick trip
through customs and immigration and a visit with two
friends in Sydney, and then another 1 hr flight down to
Melbourne, arriving at 4pm (or 11pm Waco time). Now the
hard part is to resist the temptation to fall asleep for the
next 4 hours, which is a bit of a struggle, but important. If I
can make it through until 8 or 8:30 Melbourne time, I will

Prez Sez (cont’d. from page 3)
sleep for 12 hours and wake up at 8am with my body
pretty much adjusted to local time. It is a little more difficult
on the return journey, but I think after 3 or 4 days, I am
back on Waco time. BTW, the 6:01am landing in Sydney is
because of a strict curfew due to the close proximity of the
airport to the City Center. No aircraft may takeoff or land in
Sydney between 10:30pm and 6:00am.
I hope I have not bored you too much with my
travel tales. We have a few important things happening in
the Chapter in the next few weeks with the Jake Parish
flyby on Feb 14, the awards banquet on Feb 18, and the
Pinch Hitters course on Feb 6, coinciding with our first Saturday pancake breakfast. Details of each of these events
are elsewhere in this newsletter. We are drawing closer to

these events, and certain deadlines are looming large. I am
still amazed at the number of people who claim they do not
know about the upcoming pinch hitters course which has
been planned for months now. There have been emails explaining it, newsletter articles about it, it has been mentioned
in previous Prez Sez articles, and still people say they have
not heard about it. How much do we have to do? Some of
those who have heard about it and indicated an intention to
come have not yet registered, and I would urge them to take
advantage of the early bird registration which offers a 25%
discount. Tell your friends about it also, and let us make this
a great day of learning and education.
I wish you tail winds both coming and going.

Member’s Projects
Lambert Havelka RV-10
The experimental homebuilt category of airplanes
has become amazing in the last few years with aircraft like
the RV-10 and the Velocity proving that these custom aircraft
are not just toys. These airplanes put ordinary production
four seaters in the “has been/antique” category. Here’s another RV-10 progress report from long-time member, Lambert Havelka.
This was the year for wiring. I retired in February 2015 so you would think I would spend 40 hours a
week on the project. Wrong! Retirement is good for the
soul so maybe 10 hours a week are spent at the hangar,
the rest with my soul mate and doing yard chores. Besides, I am a believer that the journey is as much fun as
the destination!
The dual Dynon Skyview 1000, plus com radio,
transponder, ADSB, Engine Management System and
dual ADAHRS arrived in February. Reading the massive
manuals made me realize I must learn to draw electrical
schematics, and I did. Thank heavens!
I left enough space to eventually install autopilot if I so desire. Right now, I believe the plane
should be “hands on” to let the pilot/co-pilot
So December 2015 has me completing
panel installation, wiring, electrical door ajar
warning, engine information wiring, overhead
console, and static, pitot and AOA air systems.
Some of it took my 8 year old grandson working
in the tail section, the elevator trim required the
steady hands of an eye doctor, Dr. Karl Stottlemyre, and the rest required I become a contortionist! First time construction leaves one with a
lot of experience!
I just received my FAA registration so the
aircraft now has a tail number of N817LH. Had to
stick my initials in there somewhere just for vanity’s sake. Plus it will help my son’s remember me
when I’m gone!
The battery went in Jan 3, 2016 and she
came to life. The only bug is that the co-pilot and
pilot intercom wires are crossed and that is an
easy fix. All other systems are fully functional.
This year will be spent doing detail work with first
flight planned for Fall of 2016 or Spring of 2017!
-Lambert
What a pleasure to see this come to life!

With helpful advice from Mike
McMains and Gary
Drepela, engine
wiring got done,
redone and then
finalized.
No matter how hard you try, wires just
keep building up. This rat’s nest got
combed and secured behind the panel but
I’m sure a craftsman could find some
faults with it.
Each Skyview has about 37 wires so
it made sense to make a harness so
that after panel installation, each unit
could be independently removed
with ease, leaving the harness in the
panel.
Love is a misnomer. The DG clamp gets
called a GD clamp many times during
installation in tight spaces. Am I the only
one that sometimes struggles with these
clamps?
Seats installed! Now I
can sit in it and make
airplane sounds.

Not much to
say here, except that it’s

FLIGHTS OF FANCY
I’ll admit that the view from the passenger’s seat is not as gratifying as that of the pilot’s, but still, on an a clear
day you can see a long ways, if not forever. Creature comfort also goes a long way in making an enjoyable plane ride
even better and my recent ride in a new Cirrus SR 22 was very enjoyable.
I was in Springdale, Arkansas for a Granddaughter’s graduation when a family acquaintance offered my son and
me a sightseeing trip around the area. Razorback Stadium, Beaver Lake, etc. was nice, but I had a difficult time keeping
my eyes off the glass cockpit and the luxurious interior of this aircraft. Soft music coming from the Bose headset didn’t
hurt and after you’re finished sightseeing, a 200+ mph cruise gets you home in a hurry. This isn’t your Grandpa's usual
Spam Can!
There is a downside to be sure, but if you can handle the $750,000 purchase price and a qualified A & E, you
probably could learn to like this airplane. ~ Homer Dale

The vision of this museum was presented to community
leaders in the fall of 2002 by WASP Deanie Bishop Parrish and
daughter Nancy Parrish. The vision came to fruition when the
site was incorporated in July of 2003. It has continued to grow
since then and now has a hangar
of its own housing historical memorabilia from the early years.
EAA Chapter 59 was honored to have Deanie Parrish,
the former WASP, visit our hangar at PWG and share a meal
with us several months ago. It was a pleasure meeting one of
these brave women.

33rd Annual Jake Parrish Fly-by
Sunday Feb. 14 at 2 PM
Each year, Chapter 59 remembers its members who have “gone west.” We honor those
members with a short ceremony at our brick memorial followed by a fly-by over the Parrish
airstrip (TX52) in the scenic area just east of Cranfils Gap (27 nm from PWG). We will start at
2:00pm and then have a flight briefing at 2:20 pm with the slower aircraft scheduled for engine
start between 2:30 and 2:35 pm.
Jake was “before our time” for most of our current members, but he was one of the early
pioneers in the homebuilt airplane movement in Texas & Chapter 59. For years, his family has
helped sponsor our “Keep ‘em Flying” awards presented each year to completions &
restorations in the Chapter. This is a brief but unique and very enjoyable flying event by our
EAA chapter. It only takes 13 minutes to get over there from PWG at 130 kts., or 18 minutes at
90 kts. The event will be thoroughly briefed for safety & efficiency. Follow the directions & you
won’t get lost. We are looking for maximum participation this year. Following the flyby airplanes will return to McGregor airport for coffee and cookies. This is a time honored Chapter
59 tradition, so please come and participate.
LAST CHANCE for Pinch Hitters’ 25% Discount
Register and pay by January 29th for anyone you’d like to encourage to fly with you so they can attend
the AOPA Pinch Hitters’ course, to be hosted by Chapter 59 on February 6th, for just $30. Thereafter the
price will rise to $40. It includes tuition, lunch and materials and is still a bargain thanks to Chapter 59,
since elsewhere the course costs $55.
The oneone-day ground school is specially tailored for pilots’ companions, and for anyone who is curious
about or perhaps wary of flying, either in general aviation or commercially. It will explain the fundamentals of
flying, radios, talking with air traffic controllers, navigation, and basic emergency procedures. It aims to give
sufficient information to make companions more comfortable in the airplane and more interested in the
flight itself. Suitable for teens as well as adults. But beware: Sometimes students want to start flying lessons,
at least to solo!
This is the only time AOPA instructors will bring their school to Central Texas.
9am – 4pm on February 6, 2016, while pilots continue their pancake breakfast and hangar chat.
For further information, to register and to pay:

NOTE: For the course to cater to the needs of the most people, it is crucial that participants complete all the
information requested on the registration website. If you have already paid without completing the requested information, please submit it either via the website, or email it directly to [email protected]
