between 36 & 37th, hopefully rebuilt after the windstorm the
morning of the 18th.

7/29/15 7 pm Top Propeller Designs
Craig Catto will discuss propeller design and manufacturing on the top Catto propeller projects. He will elaborate on high altitude
propellers to new world speed records and time to climb with the same aircraft and everything in-between! He will briefly touch on
new technology and how it is effecting the development of Catto’s Propellers.
8/5/15 8 pm Perils of Cylinder Work (^)
Maintenance expert Mike Busch digs into the thorny issue of tightening critical fasteners properly when installing cylinders on a
piston aircraft engine, explains why it is so difficult to get it right when doing it with the engine still mounted in the airplane, and
emphasizes the need to be very cautious when replacing multiple cylinders or doing top overhauls.
8/12/15 7 pm Chapter Chat: Tax Exempt Basics for Chapters - Part 2
Tax Attorney, Patti Arthur has many years of experience helping EAA chapters, continues the discussion of tax exemption and
reinstatement of lost tax-exempt status & determining your chapter's tax exempt status.
8/19/15 7 pm When the Engine Goes Silent... (#)
What should you do when it gets quiet up front? Nine-time engine failure survivor and FAA Designated Pilot Examiner Larry Bothe
discusses what really works and what doesn’t when the engine quits. Not only what you should do, but when you do it, this can have a
big impact on your likelihood of successfully dealing with the problem.
8/26/15 7 pm Flying with Your iPad using WingX Pro7 - Part 2 (#)
Jim Sweeney gives part 2 of how to use the WingX Pro7 application. The application’s capabilities include, GPS moving map and

in-flight weather and traffic.
9/2/15 8 pm All About Alterations (^) Sport Aviation columnist and maintenance expert Mike Busch discusses the complex subject of alterations to certificated aircraft. He
describes the difference between major and minor alterations, and the vastly different approval requirements for each. He explains
how to determine whether a particular alteration is major or minor, when an STC or Field Approval or FAA Form 337 is required, and
when a simple A&P logbook entry will suffice.
9/9/15 7 pm Eagle Flights: Making New Pilots
EAA members can make-a-difference, and help create new pilots. Brian O'Lena, Manager of the EAA Eagle Flights program will
share exciting information about the Eagle Flights program benefits; and provide tips for mentoring adults who have always wanted to
fly but didn’t know where to start.
9/16/15 7 pm What's the Spin on Stalls? (#)
Stalls are undoubtedly the most feared maneuver in the flight training curriculum. They are also an essential element of every single
flight, in that an aircraft cannot land if its wing is still developing lift. In this FAA Safety Team Wings webinar, you'll learn how to
love stalling the airplane just inches above the runway, while avoiding that dreaded stall/spin accident.

A BIG “Thank You” to Jeff Mullin for hosting the latest chapter shop/
project visit to his great shop and project!
About 20 chapter members got to see a great example of workmanship and engineering.
Jeff is doing a plans built airplane, not from a kit. A big part of the interest was in all of
tooling he had to build. One fitting comment was “that his plane might be a home
built, however, it is being professionally built!” Great workmanship! Thanks Jeff!
