HANGAR ECHOES
APRIL, 1978 - BY DICK CAVIN
Locally our big news for Ylarch was the Southwest Regional meeting of Headquarters representatives with chapter officers and designated representa:\;ive·s at the Cibola Inn in .Arlington on the weekend of Narch 10th and 11th.,
The meeting was a success in every way, both educationally and socially. RON SCOTT headed up the delegation from HQ, along ·with BONHIE SOUCY, and ISABELLE WISKE. CHARJ.d:E
. , SCHUCK represented the Washington office of the FAA, and VlDJ WHITE, of Lubbock, represented Region 3 .as a Director.. DAVE :·::!:OI:IAI.J~ of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, another FAA Director, r.0.u.nded -out the ciontingent<-
Chapter officer attendance was excellent and in view of the distance involved it was exceptional. Chapter representatives frorn P.epve'.£, Colorado,; Little Rock, Arkansas; Net,r:-Orleans, Louisiana; '.!'.uli?.<l> Oklahoma; ~sbur:g, Kansas; were registered and Texas was well represented with delegates frou1 S}j--~~ "· c--.:~~:,··;~-- f!J- Paso, Killeen, Austin,· San Antcmio,. Waco~ Sherma11, Beaumont. ]i_ousi~pll,, !forth .Houston, Plainview, Abilene, Amarillo, Dallas, and the host Chapter of Fort vlorth., With the exception of the N:LdlandOdessa, HcAllen, W"ichit.: Falls, San Angelo., Baytmm~ and College Station Chapters, every Texas Chapter ·was represented.
A considerable a.mount of infor:.;,at:Lcn was exchanged between the groups. Althot the President, PAUL POBER.EZi:-JY., could not be present, his daughter BO:NNIE SOUGY (dimples fuidall) gave a good substitute account of' Chapter activities from the HQ standpoint and a President 1s Overview of' long range goals and.future decisions to be made. As most o:f you knm·r~ P.Aut-·and AUDREY were guests of the Australian and Hew Zealand EAA Chapters, returning only a day before our meeting~ Still suffering from Jet Lag, it -;ould have been too much to expect them down here so quickly., His mission 11do1-m under11
w::i.s an unqualified success and we can expect to see considerable modification of some . 9.-f: the most restrictive regulations of the Australian and New Zealand FAA, that hamper ·homebuilders in that part of the world ..
. 111)hether we realize it or not, the 1~ecord of ~..:. in the USA. and our relations with the FAA, have been held up all over the world as a model of reasonable, responsible procedures -&nd regulations drafted in an atmosphere of mutual trust and understanding. The relax ... ation of official restrictions has a 11doraino effect 11 , thus making it easier for the v.:n•ious rule making bodies ·~o justify increased confidence in _the amateur builder. The barriers to private sport flying are coming do1-m, one by one, over the world. i'Jelll know that we 1ve rea,'.1ed the Zenith when a sc :adron of amateur 1:)Uilt Russian and Chinese J'Jttsky Specials and Variezeovik~ arrive en mass at Oshkosh, wonlt we?
Chapter 168 was well represented at Arlington, too~ r_-r.,.;_-'~~ ?:":]'RY, PETE OHLSOJ:J, DICK JOrmson, FRANCIS RICHA.RDSOH> BOB GEREN, BOB CUTLER, PJtY HI\RDY, and HYSELF were there, along with our wives., It 1-1asn 1 t ~11_ business there and the social end of it was enjoyed by one and all., We were agn.in treated to antertainment by the bard of Cedar Rapids, DAVE YEOHAH, and a qui7er full of his original EAA songs set to guitar music •
. You haventt lived until you1ve heard Dave is n;,3.-uminum Love Songll!_ Those of you that made our 1976 Xmas party will woll remember Dave 1 s renditions, Itm sure •
. .. ROfr SCOTT recounted the _detc1ils of a massive ne1-r IIFJ..y-Out 11 program that HQ is champion
. •ing; ·in-addition to providing llki. tsH foJ'.' this program~ The objective is to get EA.A posters in every airport in the nation, to carry the message of EA.A to non-commercial private flyers everywherec One of the areas of greatest·concern to flying schools, fixed base operators, nnd manufacturers, is the high rate of altrition of student pilot llstal'~Sllo It. is a matter of recoi•d that ar1 µnht;ialthy percentage of these people with-
.. '&alef.,:£;~,}Jying;:~ftex :a very few h6u1~s in the air. ·. If fil e.f.forts can appeal to signi.ficant mnnbers of these. reople and keep thfliT .interest in aviation alive, then more ::;·~·:r and used aircraft will '.be bought_. more airplaµes rented, more :n.ew hangars bu:i.lt, etc.., Perl;t~sthe 0 soc:ial aspects of hangar flying af.'fly'-'ins, dinners, a.ricl C11.q,pt~r me~~fp.gsi ?-11d :the "being a part of' a group of\ people o:t '.:Li~e inter.:~.s~,s, 1:i3;1l appecil to an.'-e.-r.rBr· growing number' of these form.er. 11 drop-outs 11 e Dorit t be timid abou.t advancing yourideas on this subject, either positively or negatively .. . ··_::.·..:_:._:·:·~·>•: .... · · .....

Perhaps the tima i~· rire bo form g 'i/u~)1{;ly knit organization of the Texas EAA Chapters as. the .Texe.s Sport Avi0ction J1.s1::oci;:~t-icm~ . A c1J11r,non newsletter o:.' magazine ·would be

Hhether we
. like it or not., v:a have to ci~:al trl.t!1. ·,:nll1icipalitias, shatc and federal officials, on · _:· r.egv.latio:ns, taxation., gene:i."'cl policie3; hazards to flight, licensing, etc .. and we
found out a long tir.1e ago that an org2,nization to deal with these problems is a thou•• san'··. times morA effective .. ·than fragmont_ed individual effort.,
Orio,oi',t1~e-::ri1;s;t-~isc:ussed itenm rd;,A:dirrgtonvras the subjed of fly-ins .. The location o;f the Southweat Regional Fly,Jin has been a bo:i:ie of contention for-several years, One
\r.e1"'y, obvious fact emerged, even-·tho: it Is been there ail along: . T'J.1.e very sizs. 9f--. T'9xas.is the .rea1 probl€m &nd 7ery pJ~obably WG need to designate two regional fly-ins;
'bne in the Soutitand onein ·the Horth part of the state:, . One of tii.e other problems that- constantly recurrs is t 1.1e aGlection o;:' a date that doesn 1 t clash with other fly~•inq, major football weekends: etc,, Ex:perience has· .. shown that it. is siniply impossible to please everyq119 ~ H_o:r·bJL.J'.~~1 squawk if a fly-in is too far $,outh and, South Texans. belly ache .. ±: ·}·Pac ,too f'arnortho :'i: it•s centrally l0cated tliE! town is. too rn;ia1:['.;::no'h .e\1oµgh mo·G·\?l:.S.,rcJX.d;:i:·eiJta.u;ran-c;s, · iiw.dequate airport facili'!;::\,~~s, ad, .infinitura. An early September· da_t~ ·.i:_s t.bo hot., a latB"•·Odt'd'bcr date messes 11:p a' big footb~1.l ive~kend or falls on tcp of'• ,a,,hig Oklaho·,na fly-in, To please sveryone would take the wisdom of SO10£.f?T and the pe. tience of JOB~
The heck of it is th3.t th8re is consiC:erabla S'J.bstance to all of these complaints and objections., To make m"-ttors K01'38 t:~1e weather mx!.st aJ.so be ,:on,3idered., We lucked out at K::irrvillc this ·oact ye::::r, b'J.t n Zew days lc1.ter would have killed us" Fog, low ceilings,-Tf;unde:r:storm3 and blistering l12crt have all been a plague in Central Texas in late_§§,:et'fillli22:1: or early 9..:?~.2£B::., not to mention an occasional hurricane coming a.shore in that t:i.rn.e period~
Plans are firmed up for Kerrville j_n 19785 but perhaps the time is ripe for the Chapters in our region to analyze all asp9cts o.f'-the ·i;wo f'ly,,.in proposal with the overall view towards 11~I!!9!3~11tu loca~jions o.nd dates" One obvious benefit would be the availability

If i-1e should -i:tlice the regions in two it seems logical to include Oklahoma City and _Tulsa in a so-called Horth Texas region and prohahly ~'orthern Arkansas as well. Smithern Arkansas and~sian~ would logically be grouped with the South_Texas -C"!h:1p1.,,...-a_ It 1 s not too eai·ly to ce,nsider these and other que3tions that arise" I wouid siJggest as a starter that £cl.Ch individu.Jl Chapter hold a discussion on ·the subject., then send a copy of their resolutions mid recor.m1endations to the president of all other Chapters., Such an irr.fornration exchange certai.·· ~- would benefit the chapter representative at their pre-fly-in n:cetingsc Perhaps it uould also provide for more f'lexibility and purely objective ac'bion 1i;,1en it comeD righ'!:; dorm to decision m'.lking time,, Surely reasonable men can arrive at equitable solutions to problems if the;- are dedicated in purpose., How do 7£9~ feel a.bout it?
We passed out copies of' our newslette2 to Chapter reps p::."esent and we got some very complimentary cor.:ments. He 1rill be exchanging ne-,r'3lettm."'s with all Chapters in our region and each mo:1th 1-re 1Jl be doing a thumb nail sketch on one of' these Chapters., so that on"' members c:~1. stay abre:st of c.ctivities c::1d events all over the region. Such an exchange .will be of gr-sat vc,lus ·to sJ.l concerr.Gdo
1-Jhile on the newslBttar w .. 1.bjeJt, you night like t0 ~mow that through the eff'orts of your President~ · · ',, r··---.~y., tllat our nei:slstter mJ.iling costs have been drastically cut Q By going oVGl' the rriJ.gic m;;.;.:::k of goo __ i'or c,ur monthly mailings, our postage drops from 13¢ per copy to 7f:2¢, nea~.0ly h:3.lf ! Tb.at uill save us at least ~J.30 per year and the_ savings can be applied to improving the newsletter quality, Under the bulk mailing permit He ca.11 · also ne ~ly double om' allcrrabl-e waight :i so now ue can publish many, many pages of' tips, techi.'1ical ini'crmation, hor ~o-do.,it articles, calendar of events, charts, diagrams, drauingsj etc~ Ha:w of you 1-Jill probrtbly like to .file ·the material in• a 3 ring noteboolc :.::s a sho1J reference,, '.i.110 possibilities offer considerable promise.
There is one thin3: we nE:ed very badly if our newsletter is to improve in quality (outside of a now editor., that is) c:nd Ghat is an ·ffset press., Our present Gaeste~ner mc:.chine does fairly Hclll., but the p:~inting f'ades out or nskips 11 on a lot of' the copy, making it hord to rcacL, It takes much p:.rnctice and knou how to j:rr.prove the quality by only a li·ttle., Ou.1' photo p2.go 2nd ccver is offset printed at present and you can :.:22.dily see the dif'ference"
I believe our Board o:f. Directors and ChaDter Of'fice1·s should look into the matter and r01Jort to ·~he me:::bersbip 011··-their f'indings. The res°a:LG value of our present machine, pluc the sinking fund that wc 1ve iJuilt up for repair of' th:: present machine, should a-::r~ount to as much as 60 - 70% of ·0he purchase price of a new of'f'set machine. Possibly we could have ano·the hangar sale or so11~e st 11· ·00 raise the 11101.ey., it actually wouldntt amount to r.1ore than a dollc:i.· or tuo pe-c 1.nember,; I 1d guess,, In a;.1y case letts take a good look at tba idea. &nd r,1uybe some of yousG g1.1.ys c.:;,n J'igger out an angle.,

Like a lot of:._. homebuilders he took time out to enlarge his garage, so that he would have room to -. build the ail"plane~ He bought the complete kit .from Bede Aircraft ru1d it was a pretty complete kit, as advertised, and 2aved him a ten of running· around chasing d01m parts and -ha.rdwai"'e</ · The ldt included basic instruments, switches, controls, gear legs., wheels., brakes, etc-, It even included a fixed pitch prop,,

BUCKING BARS
BUCKING BARS ARE USUALLY FABRICATED USING COLD-ROLL (1025) OR CHROllEMOLYBDENliM -(4130) STF.EL BECAUSE IT IS MOST READILY AVAILABLE TO THE AIRCRAFr INDUSTRY. COLD ROLLED STEEL IS IDEAL FOR THE CUSTOM BUILDF.R/ RESTORER OF AIRCRAFr AS IT IS EASILY FOUND IN MOST LOCAL STEEL SALVAGE YAROO. CASE HARDENING OF (1025) HELPS TO INCREASE BAR LONGEVITT WHICH MAY BE LOST WHEN THE UNIT IS RECONDITIONED. CHROME MOLY STEEL BARS ARE IDEAL AS THEY WILL REMAIN USFABLE INDEFINITELY. ALMOST ANY TYPE OF STEEL MAY BE USED IN YOUR FABRICATION OF A BAR FOR USE IN BUCKING ALUMINUM RIVETS. TYPICAL BAR CONFIGURATIONS ARE SHOWN IN THE ILLUSTRATIONS. RF.ADY TO USE BARS IN A VARIEI'Y OF SHAPES AND WEIGin'S ARE AVAILABLE FROM llOST AIRCRAFr SUPPLY' ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS: AIR WORLD, P.O. BOX 160, NEW HYDE PARK, L.I., NEW YORK 11040 AND U.S. INDUSTRIAL TOOL & SUPPLY CO., 13543 AUBURN, DEI'ROIT, MICHIGAN 48223, FREE CATALOGS ARE AVAILABLE ON REQUEST. BUCKING BAR CARE: BAR FACES SHOULD BE KEPI' SMOOTH AND FLAT. ALL FACE Nictfs ANDBURS--SHOULD BE R;;;i.tOVED PRIOR TO USE. oo NOT USE BAR AS A HAMMER. A FILE MAY BE USED FOR LIGHT RESURFACING. IN USE THE FILE MUST BE KEPI' CLEAN TO PREVENT SCRATCHING OF BLOCK. FINISH THE FILED SURFACE WITH MEDIUM-GRADE EMERY CLOTH WRAPPED AROUND THE FILE OR BY DRAWFILING. BE SURE VISE USED IN HOLDING BAR DURING RESURFACING HAS PROTr-:CTIVE JAW GUAROO. A COARSE ENERY DISK SANDER WITH TABLE SEI' AT RIGHT A.'WLES TO DISK MAY BE USED TO REMOVE DEF.P NICKS. ABRASIVE MARKS RESULTING FROM _THIS SMOOTHING OPERATION, IF NOT TOO DEEP, ARE HELPFUL IN BUCKING AND SHOULD NOT BE REMOVED. THE'f ELININATE THE TENDANCT OF THE BAR TO SLIDE AROUND ON THE SHANK OF THE RIVE!'. REMOVE ALL BURRS AND SHARP CORNERS TO PREVENT CUTTING OF YOUR HANDS OR MARKING OF SURROUNDING STRUCTURE. BUCKING BAR USE: SELECT A BAR BY WEIGHT AND SHAPE. FOR 3/32 D. ALUMINUM RIVEI'S - 2-3#, 1/8, 3-4#, 5/32, 3-4.5# & 3/16, 4-5#. FABRICATE SPECIAL SHAPED BARS FOR BUCKING OF RIVErS IN CONFINED AREAS. HOLD BAR AT RIGfil' ANGLES TO THE RIVET SHANK. FAILURE OF BAR TO VIBRATE AT GUN-SEl' SPEED CAN CAUSE RIVET AND MATERIAL TO SINK INTO A DEPRESSION. THIS CONDITION RESULTS FROM UNCOORDINATED BUCKING. TOO LIGin' OR TOO HEAVY BUCKING BARS MAY ALSO CAUSE CONDITION. DF.PRFSSIONS MAW' ALSO BE CAUSED BY THE BU(l(ER BEING LATE, OR THE GUNNER BEING TOO ANXIOUS TO BEGIN. THE BAR SHOULD MOVE BACK AND FORTH AT THE SAME SP1"ED AS THE GUN RIVE!' SEI'. BOTH GUN SEl' AND BAR VIBRATING IN UNISON. COORDINATED AND UNCOORDINATED BUCKING ARE SHOWN IN THE ILLUSTRATION. FLARING AND FLASH-ING OF UPSEl' HFAD ARE CAUSED BY LACK OF VIBRATING ACTION, USE OF TOO HEAVY BAR, OR EXCESS SIDE MOTION OF BAR. 00 NOT BEAR OOWN HEAVILY ON THE SHANK. LEl' WEIGHT OF BAR 00 MOST OF THE WORK. YOUR HANDS llEREL'll' GUIDE BAR AND SUPPLY NECESSARY TENSION AND REBOUND ACTION. USE OF PART OF HAND ON SHF,ET WILL ACT AS A STEADYING ACTION, THE BLOCK MUST MOVE BACK AND FORTH IN A STRAIGin' LINE AND NOT SLIDE AROUND ON THE SHANK END. TO CORRECT A RIVE!' SHANK GOING "CLUB HEAD'' THE BAR IS RAPIDLY MOVED ACROSS THE HEAD WHEN THE GUN IS IN OPFfil.TION. REMmBER - ADJUST AIR RIDULATOR WHICH CONTROLS THE HITTING POWER OF THE RIVEl' GUN Bl' HOLDING THE RIVEI' SET AGAINST A BLOCK OF WOOD WHILE PULLING THE TRIGGER WHICH CONTROLS THE OPERATING TIME. TIME THE GUN TO FORM HEAD IN ONE "BURST" IF POSSIBLE

I flew JIH BEDE~ s //2 BD.:.4 here several years ago and was impressed with its performance, control response, and directional and pitch stability,. Lateral stability was about as e:i>.-pected with the zero· dihedral of the wing" I don t t really care for the castering nose wheel personally, unless there is enough rudder for good directional control doHn to very low for1rard speedo
Still another BD--lt builder in our Chapter is JACK HcDOHALD., Jack is in the process of 1;1oving and his BD:,4 is in an inaccessable· posi-:;ion in his garage, along with the ~-2-?rpio~~)I helicop~,ar that he 1 s building)/ ::o ,;-;e couldntt get a pho00 for this issue. When Jack gets moved we 211 get one for the newslettero Jackis BD-4 is quite modified .. It sits on a conventional t?.il dragger gear and it; has a straight line back on the fuselage:; rather than having the regulaJ." break in the profile of--the fuselage. JACK bought only the fuselage kit f:rom·-BEDE and he plans to b"J.ild an all-metal wing for his bird. There have been seve1"'al BD-•4 builders around the country that have gone the all metal wing route o JACK also is usiri6 m;;:.in gear legs of his mm design and a modii'ied gear boxr. His wings are the extended version, having 12 ftosections on each side of the fuselage., He, too., will use the w:Lng folding feature'-o.f the design. He hasn't bought an engine yet and hasn 1 t done much yet on the interior"
That's understandable, thoi, as he!s spent a lot of time on the §_corpion II helicopter (2 place),, Ho recontly ,-rEr'.l't to the factory in -€:f:Lzoi::i?-, and went thru the first 5 hour phase of their 15 hot:.r chu:}k out p1"0gram~ This .f1.rst 5 hours is to solo in the hover mode.. Thenext 5 hours will dec.l with t:ranslationa.l maneuvers in forward flite., _/lJ..lof' ·iihis is part of-their t:packagE!_n that goes with their kit,, Their program is 6::,pensive by s0ms etandards..? but without a doubt it!s the only scmcible ·way to go. I can 1t co11ceive o:f anything 2.ny mora :frigh"i:;ening than someone t::i.-ying to teach themselves to fly a helicopter¢ A gyrocopter, yds, but a helicopter, noo
'Ihe fi:-st BD-4 builder in Chapter 168 was GEORGE Bl\RTOH, who flew his several years ago,. G:::::Jrge is one of those real E\A types that built nearly every part of his airplane., He. c-•;2;1 -:Jade his O"Wn vary prof'essional lookin;:; molds to mold his mm fiberglass wing parts,, Gc~''.Y.l.~ge had to give up flying ·when he hurt his arm in an auto accident and he sold his BD~.1-1- to RAY FOWLER. here in Dallaso RAY isn!t a Chap'Ger member now, but maybe we can f;Gt hi1~\ back in this year" GEORGE also took on the building of a Scorpion II after finishing the BD-1~ and he also still has a sin·_ "Le place tethered. lilchopper in his back ya~ed that 11flie~1 a fcot h1gh on a Co:;."Vairsngi;.130
The other BD-4 projc--:t in Cl.:apter 168 is th(·'; of AL Bti.U.HlU'T" Alts p: Jject is also buried under various and assortsd household stuff in his ga7'.'age and wa couldn't get a picture · ::f it either., ALt s work 2s an rn1.gineer takeG him to Sigg_g_Eore from time to time, so he gets pretty far behind thi:1ss ati home that eats u.~0 his time off and so the airplane has 'to take a lower prio~~ity in that case~
RICH UALKER, e1.',1other ~I pilot.') forncrly na8 the Bn,,4 dealer in the area and was one oi' the Chapter 168 live wiras., Ee '?~ovad out c.f c,;::1 ars-n ·to a· suburban acreage west of DFH and taking care of his 11 ancheti:,e has zilched ,,;he BD-1~., He, too., had a full kit, less engine, and he had his p:1 ojscb up on trd goax when he moved., Het s detrided to give :up on it and sell it, so if any o.f you people gst tha urge to build a BD-4 Itd sure reconnnend his workmansh::p., Hoi s ons of those p8:::-f'cctionists,. He was a thorn in the ,side of BD Aircraft .for a.while, aa he f'onnd nu~nerov.s pl.::n errors and brought them to their attention with gusto,,. RIGHI s :r:rice f01"' the kit is a good buy, too,.'
