by ESPIE BUTCH JOYCE PRESIDENT VINTAGE AIRCRAFT ASSOCIATION

Welcome to the year 2000 Were all being inundated by all the various media about the highlights of the past thoushysand years and what we might expect to happen during the next century While looking back and recalling the past it became clear to me that the good friendships relationships activities and adventures Ive enjoyed have totally drowned out the not-so-pleasant memories It always seems that beshycause of the good people I have known whatever bad times I have had were short-lived because of their help I have had relationships go sour but the new relationships are much stronger because I had learned what I did wrong in the past Ill bet youve had the same experience

I have had some very good friends go west but I still enshyjoy their friendship All I have to do is recall the times I spent with them whenever I want and feel their friendship still with me Its also great that as time goes on I continue to meet and gain new friends both in and outside of aviation You can never have too many friends

There are activities I have enjoyed that will for whatever reason never be repeated but there will be new adventures better suited for todays environment all of them waiting for us in the new century Now the adventure part is not so easy to put your finger on This is the stuff that is purely an indishyvidual sport there are really no rules that I have ever found The adventure is the thing that keeps you young and puts that gleam in your eye It gives you that smirky smile when your friends ask and you cant tell them about the deed Its the stuff that keeps you enthusiastic and I will wager you that when you see some of the older pilots walking the airshyplane rows at a fly-in they have some adventures that they can not tell you about but would really like to do so

I look forward to all of these things in this new century especially the adventure parts Everyone loves Indiana Jones right The secret is when you climb out on that limb just dont be too far above the ground

On page four of this issue of Vintage Airplane please take a moment and read about the passing of Bob Lickteig Bob will be greatly missed by the Vintage Aircraft Association and the EAA he was a driving force as a director and was able to make ideas become reality I personally will miss his friendshyship and guidance as we talked to each other once or twice a week for many years I always valued his opinion Bob was the president of the then AntiqueClassic Division prior to my election in 1988 and he passed along a healthy growing organization when he handed the baton my way Ill always be grateful

As to the state of the EAA Vintage Aircraft Association

Inc Im pleased to report we are doing well Our bank acshycount is in the black membership is holding steady and your publication Vintage Airplane continues to improve unshyder the guidance of HG Frautschy your editor

All of that said it doesnt mean were going to sit on our empennages and enjoy the view We can all add to our conshytinued success Vintage Airplane is a member-supported magazine Sure its great that we have the EAA Headquarters staff to lean on for certain things but they cant do it all Since this is a members-for-members association Id really like to see more member input into the magazine particushylarly when it comes to technical articles Send them to HG and hell get in contact with you to get your ideas in print

Wed also like to see the membership ranks continue to grow as more and more folks see how enjoyable vintage aviashytion can be Some time in the next 12 months please talk one person and invite them to join the Vintage Airplane Asshysociation as a member All of us need to do this so the Association can continue to be strong and growing

Ill keep you up to date on how the membership as a group is doing by publishing a short report each quarter The first one will be in the April issue of Vintage Airplane Asking each of us to bring new member into the fold is a very simple apshyproach and will not require a great deal of effort by anyone Flip over your V AA membership card All of the information youll need to tell someone how to join up is on the backside of that card Dont have a card like that yet Then call EAA Membership Services at 800-843-3612 in Oshkosh WI Theyll be sure and get one in the mail to you if youre a curshyrent member or are renewing your membership

Winters in full swing now I know its cold out there but please take moment to check your hangars structure Each year we have a number of planes damaged by an old strucshyture giving away and falling on a beautiful airplane Can you imagine how that would break your heart Dont let it hapshypen to you

Ive been talking about putting a new instrument panel in the Luscombe but the weather has been too good for flying here Not any more - even here in the South the weather can be pretty poor in the winter Its time to get the drill out and start working I guess a new windshield and interior would be a good idea along with the panel Hmm how about the side windows and the Well you know how it goes Ive startshying to work on the airplane and I cant stop Sound familiar

Were just starting on a new Century Lets all pull in the same direction for the good of aviation Remember we are better together Join us and have it all

MINNESOTA VINTAGE AIRCRAFT REGISTRATION

The recurring annual cost and paperwork of registering collector aircraft in Minnesota will disapshypear for many owners under a new Law passed by the Legislature and becomes effective August I 1999

The new law replaces the Pioshyneer classification which was only for aircraft manufactured through December 311939 with two new categories Antique and Classic Antique covers aircraft manufacshytured prior to December 311945 and Classic applies to aircraft manushyfactured after December 31 1945 and are at least 50 years old at the time of registration If registered unshyder either of these categories and the owner operates the aircraft as a colshylectors item the owner only need to complete an application and pay the one time fee of $2500

According to the Department of Transportation this will be effective only for aircraft after August I 1999 The Department is also beginning the design and procurement of speshycial decals for these new categories

This expanded recognition of collector aircraft was initiated by Ken Hengler of Hanover and Tom Render of Eden Prairie both collecshytors of antique aircraft and guided through the Legislature by State Senator Gen Olson (R Minnestria)

Flying Fingerlings and Aerial Lumber Yards

I n subsequent years Cranberry Lake in the upper Adirondacks became our spring and fall base

of operations continuing till the late season iced over ponds would force us to quit While at Cranberry we operated from behind Givens Grocery Store at Cranberry Village tying up alongside a long quite ofshyten awash low floating dock used by lakeside camp owners who came by small boats from down the lake to the village for supplies

Many a fall morning Barb and I would come down from our roomshying house quarters to the airplane only to find it covered with several inches of new wet snow To make her flyable one of us would perch on the upper wing center section throwing buckets of warmer lake washyter onto the wings to slosh the snow off And sometimes on a cold mornshying the start air storage tank would be depleted while trying to get the Continental running When this happened wed have to paddle her

to a nearby sandy snowy beach nose her in and then swing the proshypeller by hand while standing with rubber boots in several inches of chilly water

Following a cold morning liftoff in quick freezing spray only by greatly exaggerated actuation of the stick and rudder could the freedom of vital flight controls and water rudders be assured with the planes resultant aimless gyrations remindshyful of a wounded duck flopping through the sky

During the fall season while workshying at Cranberry we contracted with the State of New York to plant finshygerling trout in several backwoods ponds We rendezvoused with an aerated state tank truck at the settleshyment of Stillwater on Beaver River Flow where the baby fish were transshyferred into ten-gallon milk pails which were lashed to wooden racks bolted to the Wacos float support struts As the day wore on the loads were gradually increased and by

mid-afternoon we were carrying four ten-gallon cans on each of the float racks and two in the front cockpit When she was pushed off the beach and taxied out in the lake for takeshyoff the back third of the floats would be awash by several inches Yes she was overloaded but the Wacos pershyformance appeared to suffer little However during approach unless considerable power was used to maintain an acceptable sink she didnt glide in for landing at our desshytination pond she kind of fell in

I flew these planting flights alone stopping the engine after landing so I could get down to the floats to unshycover then dump the cans one at a time It was late afternoon when the last load had been flown and I reshyturned for Barb Now lightly loaded we took off and banked low and headed north across the hills for Cranberry Low clouds had been forming since noontime gradually obscuring the November sky and they were now gray and cold and

spitting light snow The route home would have to be from lake to lake using the large-scale topographical charts and I steered without the benshyefit of familiar streambeds like those I knew so well in the lower Adironshydacks The fall light was fading fast and the heavying snowfall was fast reducing visibility to little better than straight down In the drafty cockpits we were cold and shivering in our wet clothes and wet boots

We passed low over Witchopple Lake where I had planted some fish earlier and as it slid beneath I saw friendly smoke drifting from the stone chimney of the hunting lodge located there I quickly banked and circled back and hunters in red plaid shirts waved to us through the dusk and now steadily falling snow It didnt take long to make a decision as the wings were brought level and the end of the long narrow lake we had just passed over could barely be seen ahead through the snow A short glide and we were down

We tied the seaplane to a tiny cashynoe dock covered the engine and the cockpits then trudged up a short trail through the woods to the lodge where hot coffee and a crackling fire soon warmed us We were now warm and secure and the seaplane was in a safe protected spot Some while later when the hearth fire was getting low Barb and I were shown to a bunk shack situated near the main building

Heavy warm blankets covered our assigned bunks Barb first crawled into his and fully clothed he quickly covered up with chattering teeth I too then kicked off my boots and made a running dive over the end of my bunk where to my great surprise I landed with a crash Barb although snug hadnt inshyformed me that there were no mattresses and that the blanketed boards were only there to keep a person in a sleeping bag off the cold floor

The next day was nice and we flew home to Cranberry in the sunshyshine but with me nursing a bruised shoulder

Some day perhaps I

will understand why

nurses and aviators

are attracted to each

other An awful lot

of them are

Deep in the Adirondacks near Cranberry a hillbilly named Rudy had camped for many years Every few weeks he would visit the village for supplies rowing his leaking boat six miles up the lake from where the trail ended on the far south shore

The Waco was tied alongside Givens dock one day as Rudy was getting out of his tippy boat alongshyside the half sunken slippery dock He hobbled over to our seaplane his long whiskers dripping tobacco juice on his boots and pants and a large chaw bulged his cheek beneath his matted stringy hair and small round metal framed spectacles

Despite the beard and exterior apshypearance Rudy seemed an educated man and he spoke well Perhaps he hibernated in the solitude of the woods to get away from it all Rudy asked me if we might be able to help him He explained that his tent badly needed some new flooring and because the woods were so wet and soggy from recent rains he had been unable to get to his campsite with a team and wagon Rudy inshyquired if we could possibly deliver

some lumber to him with the seashyplane leaving it on the shore of a nearby pond

I leaned into the cockpit and pulled out the large-scale topographshyical chart that showed the Cranberry area of the Adirondacks in the smallshyest detail Careful measurement showed the pond to be too small and I believed the matter dismissed but Rudy bit off a new chaw and asked Well why dont you drop the boards in to me Initial conshytemplation showed this to be a somewhat ridiculous suggestion unshytil at Barbs suggestion he and I put our heads together to talk things over It was Barbs proposal that we could easily make up some bundles of about a dozen boards each to be held together with bailing wire With a bundle lashed to the deck of each float we could complete the job with only a couple of flights down over Rudys camp dropping two on each trip Arrangements were made to complete the task a few days hence

Rudys tent was deep in the woods among dense and high trees So we could locate his campsite it had been previously agreed that he was to climb a nearby tree and tie a white flag to the top

With two of Rudys bundles lashed to the floats we took off flew south and after much searching fishynally located our prearranged target As we circled to keep the tiny white marker in Sight Barb eased himself out of the forward cockpit and out onto the lower wing walk He then very carefully lowered himself over the lower wing leading edge an inch at a time until he was standing on the deck of the left float In the meantime I had begun a long slow approach toward Rudys campsite As we got closer and lower Barb loosened the lashings then upon a prearranged signal the boards were released and Barb pushed the bundle free with his foot The first load plunged toward the forest far below tumbling over and over As I gently banked the Waco for another pass Barb clambered back up to the lower

wing into the cockpit and now fu ll of confidence out the other side and down onto the deck of the other float where our lumber dropping procedure was repeated Another trip back to Cranberry for a second load and we were done On our way home there was much shouting and laughing between cockpits

I must say now that during this process there were plenty of things for Barb to hang onto struts wing and float brace wires etc and once down there the floats did provide a wide stable platform upon which to stand even in the strong propeller stream But would I do it

NO On Rudys next journey to Cranshy

berry Village we were paid with soggy bills and also complimented on our bombing accuracy It was exshyplained that even though each of the bundles had burst on impact and one had landed butt end first on a large stump only one of the boards was unusable and for this he was most pleased But he also told us when he had first seen us circling in order for him to be certain where the tumbling boards were landing he had positioned himself very close to the targeted tree but then soon found h imself dashing about t he woods in all directions as he fran tishycally en deavored to stay out fro m under the plummeting lumberyard

8 JANUARY 2000

second of july-it really wasn t until two days later on july 4th when I was busy hopping passengers at Owasco Lake that it all suddenly sank in

The seaplane with me at the conshytrols was on a right descending turn toward the lake and passing low over the roller-coaster at an amusement park near where we were flying when my mind suddenly ceased working as a total realization of my very recent marriage dawned on meshyMy God what have I done

As I contemplated the enormity of it all the Waco continued its deshyscent its pilot now an unseeing zombie and we hit the water and bounced in a cloud of spray and bounced again Finally we were down and I had done nothing to asshysist The seaplane dropped off the steps and for several minutes wanshydered aimless ly over the lakes surface as the prop slowly ticked over and over and Barb on shore wondered what was going on Then suddenly I came to shook myself smiled at my puzzled passengers swung her around and taxied for shore

Some day perhaps I will undershystand wh y nurses and aviators are attracted to each other An awful lot of them are

Much as I loved fl ying in t h e Adiro ndacks our business in t hi s lovely area even during the summer season was just too slim Besides th is in order for us to do any busishyn ess it was n ecessary to d o considerable non-revenue flying beshytween mountain lakes looking for it

What I looked for was a new base of operations where people would com e to m e a base wh ere the airshyplane would only be flown when it was producing revenue The colorful village of Alexandria Bay situated amidst the magnificent Thousand Isshylands on the St Lawrence Rive r seemed an ideal spot We operated just the F-2 there during the summer of 1937 giving up our operations in the Adirondacks except for the still lucrative fall hunting season But flyshy

ing a seaplane from the St Lawrence quickly revealed itself as far more difshyficult than I had anticipated Dozens and dozens of large 100-passenger tour boats cruising between the 1900 closely packed islands plus th e countless boats of the island resi shydents themselves and large ocean-going tankers and freighters resulted in heavy and very congested conditions as well as a troublesome seldom-abating surface dead swell which caused me many delays airshyframe punishing takeoffs and landings and severe problems from the boat swells when lying dockside

The business potential proved exshycellent but I was very discouraged and frustrated with the conditions under which I was forced to operate Gradually however I became more and more familiar with and able to recognize from the air the many tour boats operating from Alexanshydria Bay as well as the boats of the Islanders where on the riverfront they were normally apt to go and where they were most apt to be comshying from I memorized the tour boat schedules and those that threw large wakes and those that did not

Most of the landing approaches to the river on busy days were from a 270 degree descending pattern started from directly overhead my planned but ever changing touchshydown area th is permitting a view of the river th roughout the approach From above it seemed a turmoil of cri ssc rossi n g boa t s and con fused crisscrossing wakes but by studying the boats and their wave patterns r was almost always able at th e last minute to pre-select a comparatively smooth spot for touchdown and still close to our dock As we neared the surface I would loosen my seat belt and stand on the rudder pedals with head and shoulders high above the small windshield this so in the last few seconds of the approach I could see over the airpl an es long n ose Hundreds of touchdowns were made in this manner

When it was necessary to bash through big waves the softest peneshytration would result with the float

bows high just before going onto or just after coming off the planing steps And the retreating sides of wakes undulating across the rivers surface in the same direction as a takeoff or landing run would proshyduce a softer impact than crashing into a wakes advancing edges Probshyably the softest ride of all would result when taking off or landing parallel to the swells But on takeoff the rhythmic wing rocking that reshysulted greatly interfered with essential smooth air flows over the lifting airfoils which was certain to produce a much longer takeoff run In the case of landings however it made little difference as the quicker lift was lost the better

The summer tourist was the prinshycipal source of income for the natives of Alexandria Bay The exshycursion boat tours in this magnificent area were and continue to be a big business and there was considerable local concern that my scenic seaplane flights over the Isshylands might cut into the business of the tour boats This was made clear to me in various ways on several ocshycasions But I tried to be a good neighbor and as it turned out we were not hurting anyones business at all On the contrary it was soon agreed we were probably actually helping everyones business in the form of another village attraction

Over the ensuing years I made many good and lasting friends at the 1000 Islands The tour boat captains as they became aware of my operatshying problems did much to help me by keeping an eye out and not cutshyting in front of me turning so as to parallel my runs for better wave patshyterns and not objecting when I landed close alongSide Often I would receive a friendly horn blast when under tight conditions it would be necessary to make a low flat skidding turn plunking down right in front of their bow

In the late fall the F-2 was reinshystalled on her landing gear We hauled her out of the water alongshyside a tiny grass field bordering the

west shore of Onondaga Lake and then hoisted her up on a chain fall rigged between two trees The bolts were knocked in place and soon she was sitting on her landing gear and tail wheel A very short run across the postage stamp field and she was airborne with her still spinning wheels skimming the lake then anshyother few minutes and she was back under a hangar roof for the first time in many months

The tour boat captains

as they became aware

of my operating

problems did much to

help me by keeping an

eye out and not cuffing

in front of me

During the ensuing winter I did some heavy thinking about the 1000 Islands operation Very often on busy days we lost an awful lot of business because I was able to carry but two passengers at a time and prospective Sightseers facing a long wait for a flight would just walk away Also the seaplane operating season was only at best about six months long the rest of the year the airplane was not very productive If I had a seaplane that could carry four passengers and an airplane that could also be operated in the south over the winter months a far better operation would certainly result But besides this I now had the upshycoming responsibilities of a father -to-be

The only four-place airplane that even came close to my performance and capacity requirements was the Waco cabin biplane I was fortunate to find one a Standard Model YKSshy7 It was only a year old and it was mine for $3000 I was able to locate

a set of used floats for $1100 But now the F-2 had to be sold

and on a cold blue skied February day I flew her south across the snowshycovered hills delivering her to her new owner in Philadelphia Alshythough very proud of the new Waco cabin and full of hope for the sucshycess of a new type of operation I was also torn and hated myself for now turning my back on this lovely lovely airplane that I loved so much and that had served me so well As the hills and valleys passed below I was tempted several times to turn back with her and I winced Tears of frustration came and I was angry at the way I was coping with a situashytion of my own doing

The air was smooth and stable and the Continentals song was crisp and sweet in the cold winter air I wouldnt let myself toss her around and play with her a bit because she knew where to nip me and tease for more So I let her doze and hoped she wouldnt realize where I was taking her

This beautiful thing With my lap belt tight I was

joined to her and I was part of her With the gentle pressures of her conshytrols she allowed me to feel her and feel her element the sky And when I responded to her pressures with guiding pressures for her to feel we were one and totally dependent upon each other

She was vibrant and quick to sense my moods perhaps reflected back to me in joyful frivolous flight or at times there were worrisome distracted flight where her plaCid nashyture would do most of the work for me times when I had many other things on my mind Sometimes she was kittenish and without much teasing could be coaxed to stand on her tail or do a back flip or even roll over

When I left her at Philadelphia I believe she thought Id be back I didnt go back to pat her Maybe someday Ill find her again and I am certain well know each other

Many of you wrote in to idenshytify the October Mystery Plane Pete Bowers Seattle WA sent in a nice collection of photos and this response

The October Mystery Plane is the 1919 Curtiss Oriole an optimistic effort by the giant Curtiss Aeroplane amp Motor Co to provide a new post WW-J design for the commercial marshyket Unfortunately it faced an unpleasant fact of life Competition from cheap war-surplus models like Curtiss own IN-4D Jenny and the Standard J-1 many of which Curshytiss had bought from the government for refurbishment and resale

Structurally the Oriole was a step ahead of the Jenny in that it was a three-seater with a lamishynated wood semi-monocoque fuselage The wing was essentially shortened Jenny and the engine was the same 90 hp Curtiss OX-5 a water-cooled V-So

The Oriole was initially priced at $9S50 but with refurbished Jennies being sold by Curtiss for $2000 the price of the Oriole was slashed to $3000 A further blow came when the government began selling war surplus directly to the public instead of to manufacturers for refurbishshyment and resale

Curtiss then aimed for a higher market It put the new 160 hp Curshytiss C-6 engine an in-line six into a larger and heavier Oriole with a

four-foot greater wingspan The longer wings and canted inboard struts were normally a recognition feature of the C-6 Oriole but some Short Wing Orishyoles were retrofitted with the C-6 engine

The improved perfornwnce didn t help sales and Curtiss soon ended Orishyole production Undelivered airplanes were dismantled and stored Suprisshyingly some of these were sold to other

PASS IT TO BUCK

HG your friendly editor came down last weekend to immerse himshyself in airplanes One of the BIG disadvantages he has as your editor is that he is so far into Vintage Airshyplane hes out of it

Now that may seem like a foolish statement but in reality he very selshydom gets a chance to just fly for fun Once in a while this leads to his showing up at my hangar door for an afternoon of revitalization This was one of those times

HG is going for his Commercial Instrument and maybe his Instrucshytors ratings I have the airplanes and an old simulator so hes gravishytated to the Funny Farm strip to sharpen up for the flight test

Preflighting the Cessna he found my spoiler installation of sufficient interest to ask me to do an article on them so here it is

Here at the Funny Farm Airfield we have some pretty strong southshywesterly winds I was watching the airplanes bucking their tiedowns one afternoon in 30 plus gusts and I deshycided there must be a way to minimize this so out to the Aero Shop and here are the results in words and pictures

I found two eight-foot lengths of 1 x 3 furring strips whacked them in half and made a T Next came attachments of one-inch aluminum bar stock formed in the shape of the leading edge I screwed them to the T and padded them with some hishydensity foam and put some padding on the bottom of the T as well

On the backside of the T I made a couple of loops to hook on some

cheapie bungee cords Now to prove my theory I went

out and installed them on the airshyplane I slipped them over the leading edge pulled the bungees back to the trailing edge stood back and 10 and behold they WORKED The bucking all but stopped They are now standard equipment on several of the airplanes parked outshyside here at the Funny Farm Airfield

Take a look at the picshytures and if you want to reproduce t hem got to it The who le shebang came to about $20 and that sure is minimal when you re protecting an airplane investment Oh yeah I painted them with leftovers that were just laying around

Another neat litt le field expedient for a pilot cover a plastic film cartridge can worked out just fine So well in fact that its now standard equipment in the tiedown kit You may want to add a length of red ribbon to it (just put the tail in the bottle and then snap the top down) as a Remove Before Flight reminder

Over to you

Vagabond Outshyside of aviation the name conjures up images of a free

spirit who spends his life moving from one happy experience to anshyother without a care in the world Say the word within aviation circles however and the image is of a stubby-cute little airplane that today is seldom thought of as floating across the landscape like thistle in the wind Today its thought of as a long-ago airplane ideally suited for hamburger runs and local hops

And then there is Gale Perkins Vagabond Now were back to the original definition of the word And how do we know that Because a quick review of Perkins long shelf of awards will show a preponderance of longest distance plaques and troshyphies This particular Vagabond actually is a free spirit that enjoys the open road and doesnt consider distance to be an obstacle

Gale who calls Richwood Ohio home can walk down his trophy row and proudly point out his Clyde Smith Award earned at Sentimental Journey in Lock Haven Pennsylvashynia Thats not too far from his Longest Distance awards from places

like south Texas and Colorado Flight planning a meager 90 mph Gale is flying for the right reason Hes flying beshycause he enjoys being in the air So the longer the trip the better As a true vagabond knows the joy is in the jourshyney not in the arrival

Its obvious the little PAshy1517 series both called Vagabond has outgrown its original image as an econoshyplane to become a well liked little classic The original deshysign was Pipers desperate attempt to survive the crash of the much heralded and toshytally non-existent aviation boom market of 1946 At a time when it looked as if few manufacturers were going to survive the money man William Shriver came through Piper and laid down one law Gale Perkins and his EAA AirVenture 99 build the cheapest airplane Reserve Grand Champion Classic trophy you can build and use as much in-stock already paid for mashyterial as you can That meant using the cheapest motor (Lycoming 65 hp in the PA-15 because freight was cheaper than for Continentals) with as few luxuries and use as few mate-

Gale loves to fly his Vagabond long distances and prefers to use this thumb on the map and a good stopwatch Hes added a few more items to the instrument panel including an a-day clock turn and bank directional gyro and cylinder head tempshyerature gauge

rials as possible This automatically meant the airplane had to be small And the wings could be shorter if the airplane was lighter This meant fewer ribs less spar material shorter struts etc etc In the original PAshyISs the gear was simplified by the removal of any shock absorbing system After all they rationalized thats what tires were for The panel featured the absolute minishymum of instruments and military surplus mag switches were used Simplify simplify

A year later the design was subtly modified into the PA-17 still called Vagabond with the most important changes being the installation of a bungee landing gear and an A-65 Continental engine At some point in its early history before he bought it Gales airplane received several additional modifications that made it even better Chief among the changes were a C-85 Continental a wing tank the side D windows which eliminated a serious blind spot and a normal sized tail whee I

Gale came into aviation as a farm

14 JANUARY 2000

kid who wanted wings In fact the family farm on which he now has his house has been in the family for three generations However Gale had no taste for farming choosing instead to go into education while his brother ran the family farm For 30 years he was an occupational teacher who helped kids continue their education who might othershywise drop out He would tutor them in English History and Government for half a day and they would then get on-the-job training for hands-on occupations for the rest of the day

He learned to fly while he was still in college as part of Ohio States well-known aviation program He laughs when he talks about getting his PPL in a Cessna 140 for the grand sum of eight bucks an hour wet Oh for the old days

Gale moved onto the farm in 1965 and bought a J-3 shortly there after to utilize the grass strip he and his brother had carved out of a pasture The Vagabond came to live with him in 1973 and it was love at first flight I dont know why I just love the way it handles and the way it looks he says

At one point he thought he might like a clipped Cub

so he sold the Vagabond to a neighbor Then he felt so bad seeing the airplane sit outshyside and missed flying it so much he talked the neighshybor in to selling it back to him

He had been thinking about restoring the airshyplane for a long time when Ma Nashyture made the

The aileron horns should look familiar to anyone whos flown a Cub and dinged his scalp on a turnbuckle

decision for him As he puts it I called home from the Rocky Mounshytain Fly-In in 1991 to tell my wife I had good news and I had bad news The good news was I won a trophy The bad news was just after the airshyplane was judged it got hailed on and was full of holes

The hail was bad enough that it punched over 60 nice clean holes in his airplane I got out the duct tape and sealed each one of them up Then I flew home being very careful

to keep my speed down I was a little nervous although I probably didnt need to be

The airplane had been rebuilt in 1971 by a previous owner so the cotshyton cover was 20 years old and ready for replacement anyway

Gale didnt feel as if he could do an adequate job of restoring the airshyplane to his own satisfaction so he talked to a friend who lived over in Chatfield Ohio Tom Schulze Gale had seen a PA-2220 Tom had done and II bullbull 1 knew he could do exactly the kind of job I wanted

Gale credits Tom who has a full time job as an auto mechanic with

VINTAGE AIRPLANE 15

If the Vagabond were judged as art (and many of us might be tempted) it would have to classified as Minimalist since the airframe includes just a little more than is absolutely needed for flight

doing the lions share of the work although Gale was right there on weekends helping out

The airplane was dismantled inshycluding taking the wings completely apart The aluminum spars were cleaned and Scotchbrited and any rib that wasnt perfect were replaced with a new-old-stock part Then the parts were epoxy primed new leadshying edges fabricated and the wings reassembled

The fuselage was stripped and sand blasted and we were lucky in that we could find very little rust anyshywhere Only one small piece around

the doors needed some work Although the old expander tube

brakes have gotten ridiculously exshypensive to overhaul Gale decided to stick with the originals rather than going for a Cleveland convershysion Besides as many who have made the conversion have found out Clevelands are often too much brake for such little airplanes

From the door forward the Vagabonds sheet metal was typical of the breed it had nearly a halfshycenturys worth of small dents and dings There was nothing major wrong it just had enough minor

Theres no doubt about where the vent is for the fuseshylage mounted fuel tank Gale runs his Continental C-85 on auto fuel as the EAA Auto Fuel STC sticker attests

imperfections that it would drive anyone restoring an airplane nuts The cure Replace all the sheet metal This part of the project started with locating a new old-stock nose bowl which a California Piper dealer still had on his shelves Fortunately PA-17s and PA-lls share the same nose bowl and Gale lucked onto one Then they spent a huge amount of time getting a really good fit Even the facshytory sheet metal had little puckers and we worked to make sure

ours fit tight The entire airplane including the

metal was shot with Randolph dope rather than using enamel on the metal This guaranteed a perfect color match Gale says We attended some Randolph workshops that showed us how to shoot dope on metal but we still wound up redoing some cowling pieces several times The only enamel is on the struts

The airplane was covered with Ceshyconite with the two of them dividing the labor Tom did the outside and Gale did the interior To guarantee that the envelopes fit they had a woman come to the airport with her sewing machine and stitch them right on site

While he was doing the interior Gale put sound deadening material in the walls in an effort to cut down noise and keep heat in He says I really wouldnt recommend doing the same thing to anyone as I can hardly tell the difference

They decided to do the engine themselves with Tom doing the asshysembly work and farming out the machine work The hardest part of the project was finding a good crank for the engine Then a new Sensenich 7244 prop was fitted which Gale says II bullbull falls somewhere between a climb and cruise prop

Gale doesnt believe in fancy anyshything and his airplane shows it The only electricity in the airplane is in the ELT battery and there isnt even a telltale mark where a GPS clamp might have been placed When Gale goes somewhere it is with chart in hand and his eye on the lubber line He doesnt know for sure how many miles hes traveled in the airplane but everyone of them has been by pure pilotage

So now that he has the Reserve Grand Champion-Classic trophy to add to his collection was the sixshyyear effort worth it II Absolutely he says but not because of the troshyphy Its just nice to do something right without cutting corners and be satisfied with the result

Apparently the judges were satisshyfied too ~

rye recreational aviation renaissance is in great evidence all over the

country A great place to see it in action is a wonderful small airport on the western outshyskirts of st Louis Missouri Dauster Field in Creve Coeur is a wonderful mix of regular general aviation activity and good old fashioned fun At any given moment you might see a Stearman in the pattern with a Cessna Conquest or if youre really lucky and pick the right day you might even get to hear smell and taste the castor oil in the air as a LeshyRhone rotary engine powered Sopwith Pup is flown or pershyhaps a OX-S powered Jenny Its quite a place and later this year well tell you more about the airport and its amazing collection of airplanes and people But this time well concentrate on one activity shythe hosting of the National Monocoupe Fly-In by Al Stix proprietor of Dauster Field and the Monocoupe Club

The weekend event drew Monocoupes from all over the United States including the 110 Special flown from Virshyginia by Bob Coolbaugh Monocoupe Club president and Andrew King who comshypleted the restoration of the airplane with Bob

Lets take a look at what went on

Andrew King and Bob Coolbaugh tend to the needs of the 110 hp Warner engine Still a bit tight after its overhaul it was still depositing quite a bit of oil on the fuselage of the 110 Special

Bud Dakes Mullicoupe got plenty of use over the weekend as the master builder himself demonstrated the exceptional abilities of the R-985 powered speedster to many firstshytimers Buds masterful touch extends to his flying as well - the Mullicoupe is flown by very smooth capable hands

These are the bare bones of the very first Monosport built by Mono Aircraft of Moline IL This Monosport 1 SIN 200 was registered when first built as NC-89S7 A souped-up airplane for its day the Monosport was powered by a 110 hp Warner and coupled with smaller wing area than the Monocoupe 113 it had plenty of speed often w inning closed-course racing events Glen Peck is working on the Monosport for the Historic Aircraft restoration Museum based there at Creve Coeur

Jim Harvey is one of the local Monocoupe afishycionados who loves to fly at Creve Coeur and Snappy his Monocoupe 90AL is no hangar queen Jim is out flying it as often as he can

18 JANUARY 2000

Curtis Whitehead of Sanborn NY owns this Lambert-powshyered 90A Monocoupe

Jim Harvey put these history boards together so we could all learn more about the history of Mono Aircraft and its successors The Monocoupes mystique and performance potential have kept it in pilots minds for over six decades

Monocoupe Club president Bob Coolbaugh grins as he adds throttle to the Warner on his 110 Special as we climb out after a high speed pass down the grass runway at Dauster Field

(BELOW)Master builders Bud Oake and Jim Younkin pause for a moment under the wing of Jims Mullicoupe Bud was busy during the weekend flying his 90AL Jim as usual is also busy on a number of fronts One of his many current projects is a new autopilot for homebuilts that promises to be quite an advanced system for a reasonable cost

The highlight of the weekend was the surprise roast of soonshyto-be EAA retirees Jack and Golda Cox seen here with Bob Coolbaugh Jack and Golda were honored for their work at EAA and their years of dedication to Monocoupes Indeed some have accused the Monocoupe Club of hiring them as Monocoupe Operatives within the walls of EAA While not exactly true between John Underwood Jack Cox and Jim Zazas a major portion of Monocoupe history over the years has been documented in print

Ted Oilse of Scranton NO flies by in his Monocoupe which is the prototype 90A and was featured in the center spread of the May 1996 issue of Vintage Airplane This airplane was once flown by Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart among other notable pilots of the 1930s It is SIN 662

by ESPIE BUTCH JOYCE PRESIDENT VINTAGE AIRCRAFT ASSOCIATION

Welcome to the year 2000 Were all being inundated by all the various media about the highlights of the past thoushysand years and what we might expect to happen during the next century While looking back and recalling the past it became clear to me that the good friendships relationships activities and adventures Ive enjoyed have totally drowned out the not-so-pleasant memories It always seems that beshycause of the good people I have known whatever bad times I have had were short-lived because of their help I have had relationships go sour but the new relationships are much stronger because I had learned what I did wrong in the past Ill bet youve had the same experience

I have had some very good friends go west but I still enshyjoy their friendship All I have to do is recall the times I spent with them whenever I want and feel their friendship still with me Its also great that as time goes on I continue to meet and gain new friends both in and outside of aviation You can never have too many friends

There are activities I have enjoyed that will for whatever reason never be repeated but there will be new adventures better suited for todays environment all of them waiting for us in the new century Now the adventure part is not so easy to put your finger on This is the stuff that is purely an indishyvidual sport there are really no rules that I have ever found The adventure is the thing that keeps you young and puts that gleam in your eye It gives you that smirky smile when your friends ask and you cant tell them about the deed Its the stuff that keeps you enthusiastic and I will wager you that when you see some of the older pilots walking the airshyplane rows at a fly-in they have some adventures that they can not tell you about but would really like to do so

I look forward to all of these things in this new century especially the adventure parts Everyone loves Indiana Jones right The secret is when you climb out on that limb just dont be too far above the ground

On page four of this issue of Vintage Airplane please take a moment and read about the passing of Bob Lickteig Bob will be greatly missed by the Vintage Aircraft Association and the EAA he was a driving force as a director and was able to make ideas become reality I personally will miss his friendshyship and guidance as we talked to each other once or twice a week for many years I always valued his opinion Bob was the president of the then AntiqueClassic Division prior to my election in 1988 and he passed along a healthy growing organization when he handed the baton my way Ill always be grateful

As to the state of the EAA Vintage Aircraft Association

Inc Im pleased to report we are doing well Our bank acshycount is in the black membership is holding steady and your publication Vintage Airplane continues to improve unshyder the guidance of HG Frautschy your editor

All of that said it doesnt mean were going to sit on our empennages and enjoy the view We can all add to our conshytinued success Vintage Airplane is a member-supported magazine Sure its great that we have the EAA Headquarters staff to lean on for certain things but they cant do it all Since this is a members-for-members association Id really like to see more member input into the magazine particushylarly when it comes to technical articles Send them to HG and hell get in contact with you to get your ideas in print

Wed also like to see the membership ranks continue to grow as more and more folks see how enjoyable vintage aviashytion can be Some time in the next 12 months please talk one person and invite them to join the Vintage Airplane Asshysociation as a member All of us need to do this so the Association can continue to be strong and growing

Ill keep you up to date on how the membership as a group is doing by publishing a short report each quarter The first one will be in the April issue of Vintage Airplane Asking each of us to bring new member into the fold is a very simple apshyproach and will not require a great deal of effort by anyone Flip over your V AA membership card All of the information youll need to tell someone how to join up is on the backside of that card Dont have a card like that yet Then call EAA Membership Services at 800-843-3612 in Oshkosh WI Theyll be sure and get one in the mail to you if youre a curshyrent member or are renewing your membership

Winters in full swing now I know its cold out there but please take moment to check your hangars structure Each year we have a number of planes damaged by an old strucshyture giving away and falling on a beautiful airplane Can you imagine how that would break your heart Dont let it hapshypen to you

Ive been talking about putting a new instrument panel in the Luscombe but the weather has been too good for flying here Not any more - even here in the South the weather can be pretty poor in the winter Its time to get the drill out and start working I guess a new windshield and interior would be a good idea along with the panel Hmm how about the side windows and the Well you know how it goes Ive startshying to work on the airplane and I cant stop Sound familiar

Were just starting on a new Century Lets all pull in the same direction for the good of aviation Remember we are better together Join us and have it all
