In the past Ive writshyten this column at the

last minute Writing at the 11th hour made it possible to deal with late-breaking issues (HG does the same with the VAA News pages) But I will admit that at times Ive been a bit of a procrastinator and have held up HGs efshyfort to meet the magazines production schedule I promise to do better

Earlier this year the loca l weatherman told us the weather would be great for the upcoming weekend A coushyple of people in the office were planning to take off and go to a large car show in Myrtle Beach South Carolina

A few days before the event I told Norma we should fly down to Myrtle Beach on Saturday morning go to the car show and after an evening at a hotel on the beach fly back home on Sunday Around 1000 am on Saturday the sun did its job and burned off the fog We loaded up and covered the 220 miles in about 50 minutes of flying time The people at Ramp 66 at the North Myrtle Beach airport had our car waiting

The Waccamaw outlet parking lot where the car show was being held was only 15 miles down the road from the airport but the automobile trip consumed two hours of time Once we approached the parking lot we were on our own to find a parking place Once we fo und aspot to park we were able to walk around and look at whatever we wanted to see Everywhere you turned there were rows of beautiful autos to view Most exhibited great craftsmanshyship and many incorporated very original ideas and paint jobs Each time you saw something new youd begin to wonder How did they do it

Is this beginning to sound familiar There were vendors selling everything from old parts to

new kit cars This was a surprise to me as it has been 25 or 30 years since I had been to one of these shows I was reshyally surprised at the variety and quality of the kits now available Todays kits are a long way from a 1960s-era Volkswagen Beetle conversion using a fiberglass dune buggy body

From an organizational standpoint the best I could deshytermine there was a group or organization that invited different car clubs to attend Some clubs had as many as 35 autos attending the show The refreshment stands ran out of drinks by 1230 pm For what looked like 10 acres of show grounds I saw approximately four porta-johns but everyone looked happy

When it was time to leave there was no one to guide

traffic out of the lot You were on your own to drive out of the show Without a group of well-organized people and a plan to move cars effectively leaving was anarchy It took two full hours to get out of the traffic and back to the beachfront hotel Adjusting for the fact that I was a rookie at this event and didnt know any shortcuts I was stuck following the rest of the herd Next year I will be prepared and know which way the traffic is flowing

Many things struck me about the way this event was run Folks seemed to have a certain level of expectation reshygarding the car show and the show met them When we attend a fly-in weve come to expect a certain level of orshyganization Over the years both national and local EAA Chapter fly-ins have evolved to include many things we have come to take for granted As a rule we receive a high level of service from those who put on a fly-in We have developed a high-quality group of volunteers who undershystand this level of service I recall that in the mid to late 1960s many fly-ins were low-key events The trip to this car show made me remember how it used to be Some of it made me smile as I remembered the fun we had and some memories made me wince as I recalled the difficulshyties we overcame to make local events more enjoyable

Id like to emphasize that the car show attendees seemed to have as good a time as I did so Im not comshyplaining It wasnt a negative experience I didnt see an unhappy person during that Saturday We can take a lesshyson from that as well Do we sometimes expect too much from each other The remarkable events we enjoy during the year all require organized effort most often by volunshyteers They deserve not only our thanks but if pOSSible our participation It all goes a bit smoother if we add our efforts to the mix

The new pending proposal for the sport pilot program sure has been generating a lot of positive discussion around the airports I have visited lately I have not heard one person speak up and say that it is a bad idea Every person that I have talked to relates the hope that the sport pilot certificate will come to pass Well keep you posted

In the June issue of Vintage Airplane we will have comshyplete coverage of the 2001 Sun n Fun EAA Fly-In If you want to know if your buddy won an award the VAA awards list is published on page 3 of this issue

Now is the time for you to become more serious about your visit to EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2001 Lets all pull in the same direction for the good of aviation Remember we are better together Join us and have it all

PRE-OILER USE Dear Buck I just read your article on the

Freon tank pre-oiler in the December 2000 issue of Vintage Airplane

I had an occasion to use the same priming method but didnt want to go to very much trouble to modify the Freon tank so I didnt The probshylem is getting two or so quarts of oil into the tank through that little hole in the valve Heres how I did it

Its quite simple to do if you have a vacuum pump First make sure no Freon remains in the tank

Then using a hose that will withshystand the vacuum attach the pump and evacuate the tank Close the valve and disconnect the vacuum pump line

Now attach your flexible hose to the valve on the Freon tank and submerse the other end in a quart of aviation oil Open the valve on the tank and the oil will be sucked in to the tank To get the second quart of oil in the tank close the valve immerse the flexible hose in the secshyond quart and open the valve on

the tank When you have the proper

amount of oil in the tank let it conshytinue filling with air until the pressure in the tank is equalized with ambient air pressure Now conshynect it to your air compressor and pressurize the tank to about 40 psi or so Connect it to the oil gallery as mentioned in the article and open the valve to force oil into the enshygines oil passages

You will have to invert the tank when you are priming your freshly overhauled engine It works great Keep it clean in case you need to use it for this purpose again

AIRMAIL FOR SMALL TOWNS Gentlemen Thumbing through the March isshy

sue of Vintage Airplane the article about Dr Adams and the airborne pick-up and delivery of mail brought back memories of my youth in

Thomasville Georgia which is mentioned in the article The experishyments there were carried out at Archbold Plantashytion with Dick Archbold as a supporter or backer

The tests were menshytioned in the local paper but I dont remember the year Dick Archbold was an explorer (New Guinea I believe) and once bought a twin-engine twin-tailed Sikorsky amshyphibian (probably a Sikorsky S-38-Ed) to the

local airport I dont know the model but by oldest brother made a model of it which we kept for many years Im looking forward to the next inshystallment in the April issue

Thanks for a good magazine Sincerely Donald D Watt Sr Hampton VA

Thanks for your note Donald A few members have called to mention they had witnessed the airmail pickup system in action We really appreciate longtime member Earl Stahl sharing this well-reshysearched article with his fellow members and encourage any of you with a story to tell to contact the editor at the address listed on page 31 The conclusion ofEarls three-part series beshygins on page 5

DIAMOND BIPLANE NOTES HI HG Weldon Cooke was John Thorps

cousin (of Thorpe T -18 homebuilt fame) and his inspiration to take up where Weldon left off as an aircraft designer Weldon was a real innovashytor Today hes all but forgotten Among other thing he made the first inverted in-line installation and a flying boast of advanced concept Weldon was killed when John was four years old so he never really knew his cousin although he reshymembered a flight Weldon made over the family home Johns mother was a Locke and he was raised in the historic Locke family home at Lockshyeford California which had been Cookes home early on John died there in 1992

4 MAY 2001

At wars end a newcomer Col Robert M Love returning to civilian life from the Air Transport Comshymand was selected to become the new president of All American Aviashytion It was expected he would bring a new vision to guide AAA into the future but many employees were unshyhappy with his appointment They thought he might undertake to run the company like the Army or even worse a large airline It was soon learned he in turn had no admirashytion for the hair-raising aspects of pickups as well as the wild individshyualized tactics of some of the pilots

Aside from the challenge of winshyning the confidence of the staff Love immediately had other probshylems With peace in Europe and the Pacific war materials contracts were being canceled and folks were comshying home this caused regular and express mail volumes to plummet Further at a time when operating costs were escalating the CAB had not boosted payment rates Also unshy

expectedly American Airlines trunkshyline service to Huntington West Virginia was terminated That action wiped out the means to rapidly move airmail and air express packages beshyyond the terminus of Routes 49A and 49B So a new terminal serviced by major airlines had to be recomshymended and approved In due course Cincinnati Ohio was apshyproved Once that was done six additional pickup stations were added to Route 49B between Huntshyington and Cincinnati (Graphic 6)

NEW PLANE PROBLEMS When added to the fleet two new

Beechcraft D-19CTs and one upshygraded Noorduyn Norseman aircraft had been expected to provide some relief to the weary flight equipment situation However the Beechs enshygines designed by Wright for WW-II tanks but adapted and manufacshytured for aircraft by Continental proved to be unsatisfactory With as few as 300 hours of use many overshy

hauls were necessary Thus mainteshynance costs were excessive and equipment lay-ups unacceptable During one period of time as many as nine engines in various states of availability were needed to keep the two Beechcrafts airworthy

As if that was not enough once the modernized Single-engine Noorshyduyn was placed in service it rapidly became unpopular with pilots Capshytain Harvey Thompson explained pickup planes had to respond at once to control inputs The Noorduyn a good stable plane was much less nimble than the Stinson SR-lOCs In turbulence he said a pilot could feed in aileron control to pick up a wing without receiving the immediate reshyquired response It was similarly sluggish about the pitch axis With pilots wary because of lagging control response the craft was relegated to backup use and then offered for sale

FATAL ACCIDENTS Three more tragic accidents would

occur before pickup airmail beshycame history In April 1947 at Bellefonte Pennsylvania the hook disengaged from the boom allowing it to wave about in the airstream To prepare for another pickup try the hook had to be returned to the cabin Some fellow crewmembers beshylieve during the procedure the hook somehow contacted the trailing edge of the horizontal stabilizer where it remained fasshytened When the attached rope was tensioned to draw the hook to the hatch the action caused the elevator to be pulled down thus causing the plane to dive abruptly to earth Captain Gearhart Porter and Robert Schneider were killed

Then eight months later on a clear calm morning Beechcraft Dshy18CT NC80011 was making its way along Route 498 Pittsburgh to Cincinnati At Wellsburg West Virginia a routine exchange of cargo was made However as the plane pulled up the right wing folded it struck the earth 6S0-feet beyond the pickup poles claiming the lives of Captain Thomas Bryan and flight mechanic Burger Bechtel

With that occurrence the Twin Beechs were grounded by President Robert Love Various govshyernment agencies along with Beech Aircraft Corshyporation searched for the cause It was determined the lower spar cap failed

(Top) Once put into service the Beech 1Ss proved to be a challenge to keep in the air as the Wright engines did not last long on the low-level mail runs The short overhaul intervals kept operating costs higher than anticipated

(Bottom) NXS0011 sister ship to NXS0010 was later involved in a fatal crash when the right wing failed durshying the pull up after a mail pickup It was later determined that excessive pickup speeds and high speed runs in turbulence between stations subjected the twin Beech to higher loads than AAA led Beech to believe would be encountered

in tension just outboard of the wing attachment bolts The National Transportation Safety Board along with the Federal Aviation Agency claim to have no copies of the invesshytigative reports in their files Beech

however took the position the planes were designed to AAAs specishyfications for flight conditions less severe than frequently encountered contending 130 mph pickup speeds were projected but in service pickup

speeds were frequently 14S-1SS mph Further there were reports of test pickups having been made at 200 plus mph Beech concluded that high-speed operations at low altishytudes commonly 20 to 1000 feet

These three shots show the military surplus Noorduyn UCshy64A Norseman V briefly used by All American Aviation The two photos showing the pickshyup and drop-off of a mail conshytainer were taken at two difshyferent times during trials in Montreal Canada After being placed into service AAAs pilots soon discovered the airplanes slower roll and pitch response to control inputs made the UC-64 a poor choice for work on the air pickup routes

subjected the plane to five-to-ten times as many air gusts with two-toshythree times the severity of roughness encountered by average air transshyports Beech NC 80011 had flown a total of only 2324 hours

Just weeks before the end of pickup service Captain Bill Burkhart had to land at the Clarksburg West Virginia Airport to unload cargo that was too large to drop Upon deshyparting the Stinson was observed to travel further along the runway and then climb more slowly than exshypected Nearing a hill the ship turned away with the angle of bank becomingincreasingly steep Upon stalling it plunged vertically to earth where it burned Along with the pishylot flight mechanic William Steinbrenner perished Inexplicably the takeoff had been made with the propeller set at high pitch

PICKUP AIRMAil SCRUTINIZED As the nation moved forward in

peace more normal functions of government were being restored The CAB undertook a critical examinashytion to consider the future of pickup mail Among the issues raised were existing and projected volumes of

mail value of such service to the public current and future costs to the government Particular attention was focused on the Post Office Deshypartments dwindling support because they had successfully introshyduced mobile highway units that moved mail at optimum times for well under 50 percent of air pickup costs

NEW GOALS FOR AAA A devastating blow to All Amerishy

can came in August 1947 when the CAB finally rejected the long-standshying application for combined pickup and revenue passenger carrying flights Confronted by these realities AAAs top management moved for authority to convert to a convenshytional short-haul passenger airline In early 1948 All American was granted approval to provide such sershyvice in the Middle Atlantic Region With that good news they moved quickly to acquire a fleet of war-surshyplus C-47s converted to the DC-3C configuration by Douglas Aircraft Company Under a new name All American Airways their first flight occurred on March 7 1949 Washshyington DC to Pittsburgh with six

stops for passengers enroute Pickup service would wind down

over the next three months With a familiar reliable tough but tired Stinson SR-10C the final flight was made on June 30 1949 Most fitshytingly (and poignantly) Chief Pilot Norman Rintoul and flight me shychanic Victor Yesulaites who had made the first run ten years earlier brought the activity to close Mail had been transported over 115 milshylion miles with almost 630000 deliverypickups enroute During the period about 30 pilots carried out the spectacular activity Seven lives were lost all in the latter years after routes were familiar and procedures rou shytine

Successfully carrying mail and exshypress is not the only legacy All American s personnel also developed and refined the apparatus and proceshydures to enable in war-time the pickup of humans from remote and secret sites as well as the snatching from earth and towing of troop and cargo-carrying gliders It should furshyther be noted that All American Airways was the root airline of what over 50-plus years grew to become a major airline US Airways

Glenn Pecks superb restoration of a Curtiss Robin is now flying

by AI Stix Sr Photos by Don Parsons

10 MAY 2001

he complexities of rebuilding a vintage aircraft vary

in direct proportion to the desired results to which

the rebuilder aspires How many of us have begun a

project simply with the idea of getting the aircraft back in

the air as quickly and easily as possible-only to find that

three years later we were only halfway there Few of us

have the luxury of making these rebuilds a full-time eHort

earning a living always seems to get in the way

VINTAGE AIRPLANE 11

In 1983 I bought one-half of a Curshytiss Robin project The idea was that I would pay for the aircraft

and my partner would rebuild it-his half being the value of that labor exshypended during the rebuild Within three months the fuselage had been covered an interior started and the OX-5 Tank engine with which it was to be powered had been disassemshybled for inspection and rebuild I fully expected to make it to Oshkosh in 1984 Boy was I ever a neophyte

In 1998 I purchased the other half of the project The earlier work such as it was had been ruined by the Midwest Flood of 1993 Most of the OX-5 parts had been either lost or damaged during the moves that ensued The project was placed in the hands of Glenn Peck who has since 1993 been the head of mainteshynance and restoration at the Historic Aircraft Restoration Museum And the fun began

Glenns first order of business was to make an inventory of parts Havshying restored a Continental-powered Robin some years earlier in Califorshynia the aircraft type was familiar to him-at least firewall back The mashyjor pieces like fuselage landing gear wings control surfaces empennage and supporting struts were identifishyable The hard part was finding the little stuff Things such as beIlshycranks fittings trim cables throttle

12 MAY 2001

linkages etc were all scattered about Dick Fischer and Lane Tufts made it a pOint to come to Creve Coeur Airshyport in St Louis Together with Glenn they all spent hours going through buckets of rusty fittings that had been rescued from the muck of the flood Each bucket surrendered a few encrusted gems and they manshyaged to find missing pieces of the plane that we hadnt even realized were missing It was the kind of help for which no amount of monetary compensation could ever repay the debt owed for time saved and quesshytions answered

The fuselage was first uncovered Several places had to be repaired Tubing had to be removed straightshyened or replaced and gussets formed or re-welded Drawings were conshysulted Why didnt our pieces look like the draWings What shade tree aircraft mechanic changed this or that all those many years ago More questions were asked than seemed answerable But by using a little 1928 logic and a few more trips through the buckets to find that vaguely reshymembered crud-covered part that was suddenly identified as being necshyessary Glenn was able to piece everything together

The original air wheels made the airplane look stodgy-so Fishers fabshyulous 30x5s were used adding a little dignity to an airplane that

Rolling down the dew-covered grass runway in the Missouri river bottom land of Creve Coeur airport the Robin needs only 600 feet of ground run before taking to the air

needs some Of course axles had to be changed hub castings and back plates made brakes modified etc The gear needed to be rebuilt new springs for old Just for sport (hey it never hurts to ask) a call was made out to Lambert Field After all didnt they make them there Yeah 75 years ago Chevron seals you say Good luck But pretty soon there it was on the landing gear And check out the brass hub caps on those 30x5s Glenn cast them from scratch since the originals were too far gone to use

How many aircraft restorers can sew up their own mohair upholstery interiors while theyre waiting for paint to dry on the new fabric they just put on the tail surfaces Or make the little pulls complete with brass grommets that go on the windows which just like in 1928 can be raised and lowered in flight The wicker seats were sent out twice While not 100 percent perfect yet they look neat and are surprisingly comfortshyable

Unbelievably Forest Lovley found the Consolidated instrument cluster original to this particular aircraft His restoration of this polished jewel reshyally sets Glenns interior off and its the correct piece too All compleshymented by the polished wood in the floors and on the door and winshydowsills

The wings having been restored by the previous owner and kept out of harms way during the three wet periods of Creve Coeurs history were now covered and finished with Stits products Although initially not as glossy as dope much less prodshyuct can be used in the interest of lightness and the gloss can be forthshycoming Next time you see a Robin see if it has the factory mounted gap strips between the control surshyfaces and spars Glenn made and installed those as per the factory drawings where none had existed before Tail surfaces were also covshy

ered and painted the factory yellow during this period Boy it was really starting to come together

Only one more little detail left The motor The engine The power plant The Tank

The Museum currently has two airworthy Curtiss OX-5 powered airshycraft a 1926 KR-31 and the neatest aircraft on the planet the 1916 Canuck Our Robin was originally OX-5 powered At some point the engine was replaced with its airshycooled bigger brother developed by the Tank brothers at Milwaukee Parts

(Right) The land surrounding the airport is some of the best cropland in the Midwest Glenn Peck the Robins chief restorer guides the 100 mph monoplane over one of the local farm fields

(Below) The Robin flies by slowly in the morning light its Tank engine chugging along at 1500 rpm

Corporation Basically an OX-5 enshygine bottom end with air-cooled cylinders this power plant develops 115 HP at 1650 rpm-25 more than its original Sibling The twin spark plug installed in each cylinder and more normal valve train arrangeshyment were two of the most important improvements the Tank engine had over the stock OX enshygine-although before its last gasp the OX-5 had matured into the OXX-6 If the Miller gear was added the result became a much more relishyable power plant than the original OX-5 configuration

Our hope chest was filled with what appeared to be enough parts to

build one and a half good Tank enshygines-except for a couple of cast exhaust manifolds and some pisshytons They had become corroded during exposure to the urea-satushyrated floodwater and were either unusable or missing altogether Deshyspite a long-running advertisement in Trade-A-Plane most always a cershytain bet to obtain anything needed no pistons or manifolds were forthshycoming But with the help of Dick Jackson we arranged the purchase of enough parts to build several OX-5 and Tank engines Included were several dozen pistons and the reshyquired number of manifolds Ah hah success at last But not quite

yet In the purchase was a Tank enshy

gine which had unfortunately been hurt when the aircraft it was propelling fell to earth It was supershyfiCially dinged not too badly damaged But when the time finally arrived to build up the power plant we were amazed to find the pistons were Wiseco slipper pistons of a type most suited for hopped up 350 cushybic inch Chevys Bad dodo

So began more frantic searching for the right pistons But now the problem was more complex In order to fit those slipper pistons all the cylinders had been bored out to plus ten too big for even our crummy

The water-cooled OX-5 in the Curtiss Jenny and Canuck was improved by the Milwaukee Parts Corporations Tank engine modification The Tank which used the bottom end of the OX-5 was an air-cooled version with improved cylinders and manifolds By installing a Tank the lower weight of the engine installation and increased horsepower combined to give betshyter cruise and climb performance

standard pistons and not large enough for what was available in suitable pistons plus twenty We felt that going twenty thousands over on a stock Tank cylinder was unwiseshythere is no data to support this larger bore And really no correct pistons either

Not to worry said Glenn Ill just make a mold and well get some cast up Yeah right But this upholshystering fool has even more talents and mold making was one of them In no time the mold was made proofed pistons cast machined and fitted It started on the first pull

The existing sheet metal that surshyrounds the cowling was made it was promised for an OX Tank-powered Robin Robin red breast maybe Not a Curtiss Robin The nose bowl was close and could be modified But the top cowling had to be raised and loushyvered to clear the tops of the cylinders so a new one had to be hammered out And then done again for the spare engine which had been fitted into the mounts as a

(Top) When the original hubcaps proved to be too far corroded and damaged to be restorable Glenn knew what to do-he simply recast them

(Right) Wicker seats and nickel-plated controls not to mention the beautifully restored Consolidated instrument cluster in the center of the panel all combine to make this restoration a real gem Glenn Pecks attention to detail in the entire restoration is highlighted in the smoothly curved fuel lines running alongshyside the forward window frames

pattern turned out to be about a quarter of an inch shorter than the engine which was to be used for flight Happy days

Finally after two years of steady work on June 29 2000 Curtiss Robin N263E was ready for its first hop With its tailskid supported by a small dolly the orange and yellow wonder trundled out to the eastwest grass runway at Creve Coeur the dew glistening off its 30x5 smoothshyies Gently the tailskid was lifted off the dolly and the big bird was aimed into what little wind was available Glenn eased the throttle forward

Shaking herself stiffly like an old dog that had been lying too long in the sun this 72-year-old newborn lifted easily into the sky For those of us standing by the side of the strip the thing we marveled at most was the muted sound of the engine as it continued to lift the Robin into the sky No growly rasp of a modern enshygine not even the throatiness of a radial Just the gentle purr of an old

gentleman taking his lady friend out for an early morning stroll After a few circuits Glenn brought her down making the perfect three painter that we all expected The eight probe cylinder temperature gauge fitted for the break-in period was reading slightly higher than anshytiCipated After carefully inspecting the aircraft and finding nothing more serious than a minor oil drip Glenn restarted the Tank engine on the first pull

The takeoff roll again was noted for its lack of drama and within 600 feet of ground run the Robin was once again aloft Ever since initial run-up the engine has gained power steadily This has been manifested in the ability of the V-8 to absorb more and more pitch in the Hamilton Standard propeller With almost every flight more performance has been extracted from the motor-unshytil at present an honest 90 mile per hour cruise speed at 1500 rpm has been achieved without degrading

climb performance at all The Robin was rigged to exact facshy

tory specifications and only a slight vertical fin adjustment was necesshysary to maintain perfect trim Anyone who has flown a Robin or just about any other aircraft from that era knows there is no such thing as hands off flight Like a drunk running across a plowed field with his shoelaces tied the Curtiss seems to lurch across the sky its ailerons sluggish despite the gap strips deshysigned by the factory But once you settle back in the surprisingly comshyfortable wicker seats slide down the window and stop trying to force the aircraft into holding too tight a heading the pilot and airplane seem to get along pretty well together The whole ambience of planes from this era makes one think of things like village greens badminton games on a Sunday afternoon and trying to sleep without air-conditioning in

Wat gives with that color Well answer that question right away - its Cessna Airshy

master Green and yellow Brigh t colors were one of the ways Amerishycans tried to pull themselves out of the doldrums that came with the Great Depression Airplane manufacshyturers certainly werent immune to the idea of perking things up a bit so Waco Cessna and others all used bright colors to help boost product awareness The exceptionally bright green Cessna chose for the Airmasshyter certainly stood out back in the 1930s and it still does Love it or hate it you just cant turn away from the colorful airplane when you first see it

Back in the 1970s Arnold and Margaret Miller of Osseo Michigan put their Taylorcraft in storage after it was damaged intending to restore it But time seemed to slip away and after 18 years it was time to let it go Ron heard about the airplane from a friend and made arrangements to drive out from New York and pick up the project

At about the same time Ron went to Michigan Brian Marchetti was finshyishing his Pitts S-2 Brian was doing the work with Ron who runs his FBO with his son Michael As the Pitts was nearing completion he reshyalized he would miss working on an airplane project so he asked Ron Whats next

The whats next was on its way to him tied down to a trailer

What Ron found in Michigan was a very complete project with all the hard to find pieces still with the airshyplane He was pleased to find that the Millers had been careful to store the airplane in a dry barn When he got the airplane home he offered the project to Brian who jumped at the chance

Neither Ron Michael nor Brian had done a Taylorcraft in the past so a crash course in learning about the type was begun With all the pieces spread out on the hangar shop floor the airplane looked like a kit with no directions included Where exactly did each part go And just what is that odd looking fairing used on Manuals were gathered drawings beshygan to come in and the wings which had been started were reworked with new spars and many new ribs

18 MAY 2001

The cockpit of the Taylorcraft is neatly appointed with a crinkle finish paint and instruments that were refurshybished by the legendary Keystone Instruments of Lock Haven Pennsylvania

When first built by Taylorcraft the wings were covered using Martin fabric clips For those not familiar with the Martin system which is still available it consists of a 25-foot length of stainless steel wire which has a barbed clip formed every 3 inches Each of these barbs is inserted in small holes drilled every 3 inches in metal ribs or control surfaces The bare ends of the wire are also inserted in a hole in the rib to prevent them from poking a hole through the tape

Then standard surface tapes cover the wire The system seems to work well in production environments and was standard equipment on Tayshylorcrafts Some folks dont care for the system feeling that among other factors the rib is weakened by the hole

When it came time to attach the fabric on this project they decided to rib stitch the wings preferring the fashymiliar system of the hidden-stitch method

When they got to the fuselage they found out something quite inshyteresting Their Taylorcraft was actually two different airplanes welded in the middle In 1975 the airplane was damaged by a tornado and it needed a new aft fuselage A new back section was ordered from the Taylorcraft factory and it was grafted onto the serviceable cabin section With the Taylorcraft fuselage now straight and true some work continued but progress was slow Eventually it wound up being stored

The engine was overhauled in the Jones shop with careful attention paid to the final balancing of the dyshynamic components Under Rons supervision an engine shop specialshyizing in precision engine work was commissioned to do the balancing Both remarked how smoothly the Continental ran thanks to this extra step While one of the original Benshydix tower magnetos was retained the other was replaced with a Slick magneto equipped with an impulse coupling which makes the 65 hp Continental easier to start They also installed the 100 octane valves hoping to stave off the erosion often seen when the little Continentals are run on a steady diet of lOOLL fuel

As they began to assemble the airshyplane the restorers decided to replace each sheet metal component None of the original fairings were used for anything but patterns Some of the sheet metal was bought from the latshyest version of the Taylorcraft company Plenty of new old stock (NOS) parts went into the restorashytion

Since it was not a full time project it took the gang two years to finish the project After Brian had flown the

Pitts he built for a while he sold it to an airline pilot in Germany so he was without a light airplane to fly (his airline job helped satiate some of his flying desire but its just not the same)

The Taylorcraft now took all the time he could spare to get it done Still there was no major rush Taking their time they sent out the instrushyments to Keystone Instruments in Lock Haven Pennsylvania The craftsmen at Keystone overhauled the instruments and made new faces for each of the dials A nice black crinkle finish was applied to the panel The exterior finish is Ranshydolph dope applied over Ceconite with PPG basecoatc1ear coat on the sheet metal Years later the dopepolyurethane color match is still very good on what many would consider a tough color match to make in the first place

Ron enjoys the dope over cotton process but for extra durability he also feels comfortable using the dope on Dacron system and has also used urethane paints over the synthetic fabric Because of his experience with their product quality control he parshyticularly likes Randolph products

A couple of years of work went into the project and when it came out of the shop doors it immediately started turning heads The checkershyboard tail and yellow and green combination did the trick

Jim Herpst had been an airport kid growing up His dad Rolland was an EAAer from back in the 1960s and was actively involved in the restorashytion of Taylorcraft NC43831 a project put together by EAA Chapter 68 As a lad of 11 Jim rode with his dad all the way from the Pittsburgh

Pennsylvania area to Oshkosh landing at the 1970 Convention While he loved airplanes it wasshynt until 1995 thatJim earned his private pilots license In the back of his mind he toyed with the idea of airplane ownershyship looking at the various kits such as a Kitshyfox or an Avid Mk IV But he knew that in the long run none of those airshyplanes would really meet his needs so he began

When he was a youngster Jim became enamored with Taylorcrafts when his father Rolland and other members of EM Chapter 68 restored Taylorcraft NC43831 back in the late 1960s

his search for the airplane he was sure was just what he was looking for-a Taylorcraft

It took a few years to find the right airplane and as Jim talked on the telephone to Brian Marchetti it really sounded great Right up to point Brian mentioned the color scheme

Jim recalled that the first words out of his mouth were straight to the point

I dont want a green airplane he said

Just let me send you the pictures replied Brian

The pictures did the airplane jusshytice and as soon as the envelope was opened Jim knew he was headed to upstate New York to buy it Brian inshysisted that Jim fly up on a US Air buddy pass before hed even let him send some money to hold the airshyplane

He just fell in love with it but couldnt just write a check and take it home There was one little detail still to be worked out Jim didnt have any tailwheel time in his logbook But that was soon remedied as Jim took instruction from a well-known antiquer in the southeast United States Xen Motsinger Xen got him checked out so that when the Taylorshycraft was flown from New York to Lexington South Carolina he was ready to get in a go His first passenshyger His dad Rolland He and his father brought the airplane to Sun n Fun and had a ball enjoying the atshytention such a bright well-restored airplane can bring

Jims son Charlton really likes dads airplane as well-hes certain that the path to an Air Force F-22 will start with the Taylorcraft and Jims not one to discourage such a thought Encouraging youngsters seems to be part of the Herpst family tradition

Last night I watched the last episode of Ken Burns docushymentary Jazz For the rest of

the night I dreamed about New Orshyleans jazz and the Funk airplanes Ive owned As I write Kenny G is playing Summertime and my Amerishycan Queen steamboat mug is filled to the brim with hot black coffee made from beans brought back from the last New Orleans steamboat trip Im all set to spin you a story about Funks music wash pipe and how these three things tie together

My high school band director was a neat guy He not only loaned me his sousaphone to play in the band he got me gigs to play in larger cities with famous visiting orchestras In the late 1940s and early 50s the Guggenheim Foundation was fundshying tours of large orchestras to smaller ci ties and if I could get to New Orleans with my horn (actually his horn) my band director would

20 MAY 2001

arrange for me to play with bands like the Boston Pops (under the dishyrection of Arthur Fiedler)

Who me Get there Hey I have a Funk The smaller sousaphone would just barely fit and if r turned the bottom end of the bell up rcould pull the yoke all the way back which I thought was important at the time It was not comfortable but the flight was only 3 hours long Then I caught the rubber-tire bus to the end of the streetcar line and jumped on the Streetcar Named Desire which went right by the Opera House

Jazz crept into almost everything we did in high school band At footshyball games wed start playing as directed by the leader but after a while the drummer a fellow named Bodad was inspired to pick up a jazz beat Then a trumpeter named Birdshysong would take a ride akin to When the Saints go Marching In Then Delshymas Jackson would join in on the

saxophone and that was it wed switched to jazz It was like the Second Line at a New Orleans Jazz festival

The majorettes could really jive to the beat and the whole band was completely and wonderfully out of control The band director finally reshyalized the audience liked our fooling around better than the straight stuff Ill have to tell you we were good back then very good and never mind what we were supposed to play Little did we know it at the time but jazz was everywhere and Ken Burns film brought back some of that thrill of the times

Being a highly trained Funk Pishylot led me to later save the world and contribute to the overall advenshyture of Music to Fly By I do not recommend this for everyone but I had the unique adventure and privishylege of flying and playing the worlds

Music to fly by

Cllbs and

by Jon Schroeder

largest and loudest flute not once but at least a half dozen times

As many of us know there is a whole lot more joy to flying than just takeoffs landings and going places Its a feeling inside that lives on well after the event as the Funk Brothers well know Flight is a lot like the music we hear and hum unshyder our breath Flashbacks of flight are with us Funksters as we go about our everyday lives Its not music and yet it is its both and when we cltgtmbine the two we really have something to hang on to and chershyish

This story is one that I dont tell normal (non-pilot) people so I save this for you guys Anyone who hasshyn t flown a Funk and knows of its gentle nature its superior flight characteristics would not undershystand that theres a whole lot more to flight than just stick and rudder Were talking about understanding

the soul of the airplane our own souls and what can and cannot be done in flight

This took place in the mid-1950s at the Karachi (Pakistan) Internashytional Airport Id just returned from my second pipeline run to and from the drill camp As I taxied the Cessna 195 up to the company hangar I saw the most amazing disturbing and distressing sight of my life The local fellows in turbans had loaded a piece of wash pipe on my Super Cub The pipe hanging from the wings ran span wise beneath the wing It passed through the cabin through the pushed-back left window and right through the open clam-shell door

Whose cockamamie idea is this I asked myself as my passengers climbed out of the Cessna and went on their different ways Approaching the Cub in utter disbelief I asked Whose idea was this

The tool pushers was the reply

So I phoned Arlie Daniels the tool pusher He was serious He wanted me to try and fly a piece of wash pipe to the rig Drilling at the rig had stopped because of an earthquake and they needed the pipe to help free the drill shaft

I told him it wouldnt work Someone was going to get killed and I had a very good idea just who that might be

Just try it he said Arlie reminded me that I was the

one who sa id a Super Cub would carry its own weight and that a wash pipe weighed less than 1200 pounds It was just crazy That piece of pipe was 29 feet long and the outshyside diameter must have been 12 inches or more

Well Ill show them that it wont fly like thiS and that will be the end of this craziness I thought I inshyspected the lash up and it didnt look too bad They had tied the pipe

VINTAGE AIRPLANE 21

to each of the strut ends where they meet the wings to the tubing inside the cabin and everywhere they could to relieve the stress at anyone place If that thing had ever let go it would have cut the Cub in half

To be safe I figured Id better fly from the back seat That way only my feet would get crushed if the pipe let go As I got ready to fly I thought Ill show these fellows that a Cub wont stand such abuse I cranked up and taxied slowly As I maneushyvered to the active runway I thought This is a heavy load Ill use the same technique I use with the 195 If the tail wont come up Ill return to the ramp But what if I cant hold the nose up

I was sure that would be the end of the test All I had to do was run away from the crash site (Its always a good thing to have a survival plan for just these kinds of circumstances) I pushed the throttle forward and away we went

You know what The thing flew It was heavy with lift off at about 75 mph instead of 40 but the Cub balanced out just fine I cruised about 85 or 90 in case there was turbulence

I turned and headed in the genshyeral direction of the drill rig Flying something strange like this and meeting the challenge elation reshyplaced fear But something was very strange about all of it The engine sounded too powerful much too powerful When I pulled the throttle back and forth I could barely pershyceive any change in the sound of the engine and I realized that the sound wasnt the engine

What was that noise The pipe had open ends Could that be makshying the noise I thought about the time when we made an aluminum model airplane wing in my sheet metal shop The open ends of the wing made a howling sound as the plane flew That must be it I figshyured

Kicking the rudder a bit produced an overwhelming whistling sound I reached up and touched the pipe It was vibrating and its tone and pitch

22 MAY 2001

changed with the rudders input Flyshying straight the sound was a low whale-sounding cry Kicking a little rudder increased the pitch and volshyume as if it could get any louder So there I was flying a Cub to the drill site with a piece of wash pipe slung under the wing playing a tune as we went

With a little experimentation usshying various slips and yaws that only a highly trained Funk pilot would know I found that I could play what seemed to me like the rudiments of a tune on this flying flute I needed a simple tune to play just a simple whistling tune

The John Wayne movie The High and the Mighty had not been released at that time or that would have surely been my choice of melodies to try and play I would be lying if I told exactly which tune I tried to play but who would really know Probably something I learned on the tuba

I circled the rig trying to play the tune Id just learned but with the noise from the rig no one on the ground heard anything except the screeching sounds changing pitch with yaw I lined up on a rogue camel and set it down on the desert floor not too far from the rig The crew came out and gently removed the pipe and I flew the Cub back to town for another piece of wash pipe

It was late in the evening when I got back but the turbaned crew beshygan loading another piece of pipe on the Cub for another pipe-flight early the next morning I took a rickshaw to the bachelors apartment cleaned up ate a bite and settled into my bed That night Im sure the music was on my mind What would I learn to play the next day on the way out to the rig

I think I made about eight trips with the Cub-and-pipe combination and each time I got just a little better at playing the tunes Im not sure if anyone appreciated the effort I made to get the music just right but that kind of thing satisfies the soul of the player not the listener just as must be the case with jazz musicians

Maybe this is why they close their eyes when they play as if to play only for the angels

Perhaps that was what I was doing in Pakistan and the angels didnt have to be reminded to listen with all the noise that wash pipe was makshying I think the crew used six pieces to wash over the drill line seized in its hole by the earthquake and get it unstuck Now they could continue drilling Working around a drill crew was fascinating having done nothshying more in growing up than going to school and flying around the country in a Funk or two or three or four or so

The lesson to learn from all this nonsense I want us all to fly safely Enjoy our flying Savor every moshyment Listen to the music of the engine in flight Try humming the theme song from the The High and the Mighty next time you fly your Funk Your hands on your Funks yoke will feel just like when the Old Pelican bringing his leaking DC-6 home on two engines over the Pashycific flying between the Twin Peaks as they let down safely into SFO I wish theyd bring that movie back On film John Wayne was our kind of pilot dont you think This is NC91167 reporting from somewhere out here

PASS IT TO BUCK

Hi Buck I have been wanting to write you for

some time I enjoy your articles very much especially the recent ones on rust in the engines

As you probably know the Continenshytal W670 engine is a cold running engine Most of them never really get up to goo d operating temperature The problem that we have is on No1 cylinshyder It does not get enough oil and the moisture does not dissipate This causes rust on the rocker arms and valve springs I remove the rocker covers every spring and check Last year I did replace both rocker arms and greased them with high temperature grease

We also have oil temperature probshylems with the Ranger engines in winter It does not get up to operating temperashyture The Fairchild PT 26 has solved this problem by putting a control valve in the front inlet to the cooler In winter I close the valve most of the time and I can control the temperature at about 165degF It has worked well for me It is very important to keep the engine close to normal operating temperature

Keep up the good work Buck Your friend Edward C Wegner Plymouth WI

Eddie What a pleasure to hear from one

of our senior members (and a fellow Hall of Farner no less)

I appreciate your comments and they go hand-in-hand with my experishyences The Warner 145 on my Fleet lOF manufactures water just like the Continental I too have taken to pulling the rocker box covers off at very frequent intervals like every four hours and there is always an accumushylation in the upper rocker boxes

While I have them open I do a valve clearance check The Warner doesnt have overhead oiling so there isnt any way to carry off the condensation with oil flow And youre right in cooler weather the round engines never get up to what

by EE Buck Hilbert EAA 21 VAA 5

PO Box 424 Union IL 60180

Id call operating temperatures The oil lines to the remote oil tank dissishypate a lot of heat and the tank itself takes a long time to get warm

The Menasco Pirate on our R an STA didnt have an oil cooler like your PT-26 We did not fly it very much in really cold weather and when we did the oil temperature needle never came off the bottom stop Even my Champ with its long underwear in place and the winter front installed takes a long time to come up and then it rarely gets above 140QF

We pre-heat with a contractors kerosene burning torpedo heater and thats about the only time the oil temperature shows Soon as we start up in the really cold weather the temperature takes a dive

Guess were just lucky to live up here in the frozen north

Those guys down south sure have it nice and easy but I like it up here

Over to you Ed Buck

Dear Buck I thought you might get a kick out of

this I enjoy your Pass it to Buck colshyumn in Vintage Airplane I am an old-time low-time SEL-SES pilot [m now restoring a 1946 Champ N2923E and will soon retire from gold mining and move back to my hometown of Ely Minnesota-float country

Ron Riikola Elko Nevada From the Elko Nevada Free Press 25 Years Ago April 7 1976 A United Airlines pishy

lot EE Hilbert flying a Swallow biplane that he restored arrived in Elko yesterday commemorating the 50th anshyniversary ofcommercial airmail sevice He followed th e original Varney Air Lines (now United Air Lines) route from Pasco Washington to Elko with a brief unplanned stop at the Petan Ranch to verify his way to Elko At noon Hilbert spoke of his adventures at the Rotary Club He has been working on the plane

for several years after finding it stored in a garage in the Chicago area The routes original pilot Leon Cuddeback now lives in Oakland California

Ron I cant believe its been twentyshy

five years since I flew the Swallow into Elko [m still having flashbacks about my experiences on that leg

I left Boise on the morning after the big event and started for Elko I was following a road that I thought was going to take me right to your airport Ill admit the celebrations the night before and the late hour had taken its toll and maybe even impaired my thinking some Anyshyway I was charging along and came to a ridge perpendicular to my line of flight The road did a ninety-degree turn to the right and went uphill to the west I pulled up a couple of feet and saw what I thought was the same road on the other side of the ridge so I jumped over the ridge and conshytinued to follow the road

About forty-five minutes later [ reshyalized the road [ was now following was climbing up the mountain and turning into a trail I headed downshyhill to the west into a valley with a big lake and couldnt find anything even resembling a paved road Mother Nature was hammering at the door and about the time I was getting desperate I stumbled onto a paved landing strip about five thoushysand feet long I landed shut down and hopped out to take care of busishyness As I was finishing up a cowboy

came driving up in a jeep asking if I was all right and if there was anyshything he could do to help

I asked where I was and found I was on the Bing Crosby ranch I was one valley west of where I was supposed to be The man gave me explicit direcshytions on how to find Elko I cranked up and went on my way By now acshycording to my watch I was late and I was pushing pretty hard

I came roaring into Elko and after a quick pattern I landed to find only the high school band practicing The band leader then told me I was an hour early Would I mind going back out and coming back later when the reshyception party was there My watch was an hour ahead of the actual time

I took off again and I flew up and down the main street and did some sightseeing When I got back to the airport the people were there and we had our celebration It was great

Gerardo Rivera and his television crew showed up and he was the first one to get a ride in the Swallow What I remember the most was his mugging for the camera crew following in a heshylicopter I told him a couple of times to sit down and buckle up I finally gave him a fright by shoving the stick forward and lifting him off the seat He sat down and did what I asked afshyter that I met him again later in New York where he rode again along with Gene Shalit for the television news people

Yes Ron that was a time for sure With a compass that told me I was in the Northern Hemisphere no radio or navigation equipment and with little experience in flying around the mounshytains its a wonder I made it You cant buy experience like that I met a lot of really nice people and learned a lot about open cockpit early airmail pilot problems The more I flew the old routes and bucked the elements the greater my respect for those pioneers who started it all We sure owe them a lot I like to think that every time I see a contrail way up there high in the sky its a tribute to those guys

Enough of that Ill be looking forshyward to seeing you and your Champ at AirVenture or even down here in Northern Illinois We gotta rap a little about Ely My sister-in-law is from Virshyginia Minnesota

-ROBIN from page 15

summer cool lemonade warm beer and drug store soda fountains with that funny sound when cherry phosshyphates are being made Thats what a Curtiss Robin is

After about the third hour of short hops the cylinder h ead temps seemed to stabilize between the eight cylinders but still a little hotter than Glenn felt comfortable seeing Sensshying that perhaps the e ngine was running leaner than necessary and after some discussion with Bud Dake adding a little choke while in flight was suggested Voila an immediate 2S-degree reduction in the cylinder head temperatures right where we wanted them to be A few more flights and it was time to go to Oshkosh

Glenn was all packed up Tent in place in the baggage compartment extra socks etc Tim Adcock who flies probably the only aircraft on the field that is slower than the Robin (a VW powered WW-I Neushyport 11 scale replica) volunteered to ride shotgun Don Parsons along with his wife and toddler son were to fly their Cessna 140 as a chase plane and radio communicator for the tower at Oshkosh

I was on the web last night Seems theres an OX-S Robin up in Seattle Looks like its complete Rebuilt OX engine-but Ive got pistons this time

Im holding out for something with a Hisso

Remember Were Setter Together

In the past Ive writshyten this column at the

last minute Writing at the 11th hour made it possible to deal with late-breaking issues (HG does the same with the VAA News pages) But I will admit that at times Ive been a bit of a procrastinator and have held up HGs efshyfort to meet the magazines production schedule I promise to do better

Earlier this year the loca l weatherman told us the weather would be great for the upcoming weekend A coushyple of people in the office were planning to take off and go to a large car show in Myrtle Beach South Carolina

A few days before the event I told Norma we should fly down to Myrtle Beach on Saturday morning go to the car show and after an evening at a hotel on the beach fly back home on Sunday Around 1000 am on Saturday the sun did its job and burned off the fog We loaded up and covered the 220 miles in about 50 minutes of flying time The people at Ramp 66 at the North Myrtle Beach airport had our car waiting

The Waccamaw outlet parking lot where the car show was being held was only 15 miles down the road from the airport but the automobile trip consumed two hours of time Once we approached the parking lot we were on our own to find a parking place Once we fo und aspot to park we were able to walk around and look at whatever we wanted to see Everywhere you turned there were rows of beautiful autos to view Most exhibited great craftsmanshyship and many incorporated very original ideas and paint jobs Each time you saw something new youd begin to wonder How did they do it

Is this beginning to sound familiar There were vendors selling everything from old parts to

new kit cars This was a surprise to me as it has been 25 or 30 years since I had been to one of these shows I was reshyally surprised at the variety and quality of the kits now available Todays kits are a long way from a 1960s-era Volkswagen Beetle conversion using a fiberglass dune buggy body

From an organizational standpoint the best I could deshytermine there was a group or organization that invited different car clubs to attend Some clubs had as many as 35 autos attending the show The refreshment stands ran out of drinks by 1230 pm For what looked like 10 acres of show grounds I saw approximately four porta-johns but everyone looked happy

When it was time to leave there was no one to guide

traffic out of the lot You were on your own to drive out of the show Without a group of well-organized people and a plan to move cars effectively leaving was anarchy It took two full hours to get out of the traffic and back to the beachfront hotel Adjusting for the fact that I was a rookie at this event and didnt know any shortcuts I was stuck following the rest of the herd Next year I will be prepared and know which way the traffic is flowing

Many things struck me about the way this event was run Folks seemed to have a certain level of expectation reshygarding the car show and the show met them When we attend a fly-in weve come to expect a certain level of orshyganization Over the years both national and local EAA Chapter fly-ins have evolved to include many things we have come to take for granted As a rule we receive a high level of service from those who put on a fly-in We have developed a high-quality group of volunteers who undershystand this level of service I recall that in the mid to late 1960s many fly-ins were low-key events The trip to this car show made me remember how it used to be Some of it made me smile as I remembered the fun we had and some memories made me wince as I recalled the difficulshyties we overcame to make local events more enjoyable

Id like to emphasize that the car show attendees seemed to have as good a time as I did so Im not comshyplaining It wasnt a negative experience I didnt see an unhappy person during that Saturday We can take a lesshyson from that as well Do we sometimes expect too much from each other The remarkable events we enjoy during the year all require organized effort most often by volunshyteers They deserve not only our thanks but if pOSSible our participation It all goes a bit smoother if we add our efforts to the mix

The new pending proposal for the sport pilot program sure has been generating a lot of positive discussion around the airports I have visited lately I have not heard one person speak up and say that it is a bad idea Every person that I have talked to relates the hope that the sport pilot certificate will come to pass Well keep you posted

In the June issue of Vintage Airplane we will have comshyplete coverage of the 2001 Sun n Fun EAA Fly-In If you want to know if your buddy won an award the VAA awards list is published on page 3 of this issue

Now is the time for you to become more serious about your visit to EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2001 Lets all pull in the same direction for the good of aviation Remember we are better together Join us and have it all
