VI~TAf3~ LIT~llATUll~

By Dennis Parks

AIR FACTS - 1946

In the immediate post war years of World War II the light plane industry exshyperienced rapid growth in strength It was assumed that many of the returning military pilots would want their own airshycraft and that other newly discharged veterans would take advantage of the VA flight training legislation

Many of the leading mass market magazines carried fanciful articles about post war airplanes for the comshymon man and woman These were to be used for personal leisure flying shyweekend jaunts and longer vacation trips The light plane manufacturers felt that a mass market was coming into being and it was the desire of the ordishynary citizen to fly It was predicted that the air-minded public would spend one billion dollars on personal flying in 1955

It looked like the market would be a good one and it was for a while In 1946 the first full year of peace 33254 light planes were built and sold This nearly doubled the size of the civil aviation fleet It was this period that saw the deshyvelopment of the personal pilots magazine as we know it today

Among the magazines which noted this phenomena and aimed its appeal toward the private pilot was Air FactsshyThe magazine for Pilots It was edited by Leighton Collins an active pilot with several thousand hours of experience The magazine started out as a monthly information service to pilots devoted eXClusively to an analysis of air accishydents From the first issue of February 1938 to July 1938 it carried the subtitle of Facts knowledge safety The esshysence of the first six years of Air Facts accident reports were published as a chapter of Wolfgang Langewiesches book Stick and Rudder published in 1944 The chapter was called The Dangers of the Air

Unlike its contemporaries which coshyvered the military commercial and inshydustrial scenes Air Facts coverage was aimed at private aviation Its main concerns were flying skills flying safety personal uses of aircraft and tests of general aviation aircraft

One of the regular monthly features was Dear Student done by Wolfgang Langewiesche This series covered bashysics of flying for the private pilot Topics such as control functions angle of atshytack and groundloops were covered Navigation and cross-country flying was heavily covered with over 20 articles in 1946 One of the cross-country articles was by the pilot who flew his wife and 12-month-old daughter from New York to Wyoming and back in their Cessna 140 Air Facts comment was The famshyily airplane it seems is here

Flying safety was a big concern of the magazine Almost every month there was a feature article devoted to the subject In October 1946 an article Safety is a Sorry Subject appeared written by Wilfred Owen He stated that the future of private flying depended on a good safety record the sad truth is that the private plane has been getshyting mixed up in a lot of accidents

Accidents had driven up the insurshyance costs to as high as one third of the total airplane operating costs Not only was there a financial discouragement to airplane ownership but the relucshytance among potential buyers to risk their valuable necks was making it difshyficult to develop a real mass market Among the other articles on the future of private flying were Is Private Flying Off Course and Keep Private Flying on Course

The real interest today in Air Facts lies in its coverage of light aircraft The covers featured the splended photoshygraphy of Hans Groenhoff and every issue contained a flight test of a light plane The pilot reports in Air Facts began in 1939 and by the end of 1941 there had been over 30 aircraft covered The reports in 1946 by Leighton Collins the editor included the new light aircraft awaiting the emerging personal plane market

Among the aircraft reviewed in 1946 were the Piper Super Cruiser Culver V Bonanza Seabee and Navion These flight tests ran about 17 pages in length Not only did the articles give the history of the development of the aircraft and its specifications but also included a hands-on flying report

The report on the Piper Super Cruiser said that it came about to provide as

much speed as possible without losing small field abilities as many of the new pilots were coming from the hinterlands where there are only small and usually soft fields

The flight test portion stated the most important thing to say about the ship is that much more attention than usual should be paid to how the airplane is trimmed at any given time On the whole the editor liked the Super Cruiser its true 100 mph cruiseand lauded its handling features such as differential aishylerons At $2905 with starter generator battery and cabin heater it left them wondering how Piper did it

Air Facts is a great source of informashytion on the emerging light plane market before and after the war When the story of the light plane in America is writshyten Air Facts will have to be a prime source of information

Contest

It is time to ask for help from our readership - and in this is a reward The question what is the first published pilot report in an aviation journal This is defined as a report of a flight test of an aircraft conducted and written by a staff member of an aviation journal

This is a common practice today but when and where did it originate These were appearing regularly in 1946 in Air Facts Flying and Skyways reported by people such as Leighton Collins Max Karant and Selby Calkins But what was the first of such reports Air Facts began publishing pilot reports in Febshyruary 1939 with one report on the Waco N Were there earlier ones

The Contest The person who sends in a photocopy of the earliest flight test reported in an aviation journal before 1939 will be rewarded with a reprint edishytion of the 1909 Janes All the Worlds Airships

So don your thinking caps and dig through that literature you have out there Send your answers to Dennis Parks co THE VINTAGE AIRPLANE EAA Wittman Airfield Oshkosh WI 54903-3086 The results will be reshyported in THE VINTAGE AIRPLANE The due date is February 28 1986

OSHKOSH 1985 THE NEW RESTORATION TENT

by Larry DAttilio and Pamela Foard AlC Press Co-Chairmen

(Photos by Larry DAttilio except as noted)

This year there was a strange new tent at Oshkosh just nestled between the Type Club Tent and the Antique food concession So what you say Well dont just walk past this one charming people because theres magic inside Its kinda dark in there so allow time for your peepers to adjust and what do you see Airplane bones and carcasses One of them looks new and is in that familiar Cub Yellow shymust be some sort of Cub Yup thats what it is all right - an E-2 getting close to being done

Now I puts my finger in here while I hold this little fella there intones one of the tents residents who has two arms deep into the innards of an OX-5 enshygine This scene reminds one of a counshytry doctor immersed in a delicate apshypendectomy The speaker and engine doctor is Red Perkins who has a pershysonal bearing we all associate with Abe Lincoln Fact is that when Red is holdshying forth in his glowing baritone it makes an OX-5 overhaul sound as if it is the Gettysburg address being delivered Actually Red is as knowledgeable as anyone about the OX-5 and enjoys inshytroducing other people to the art of overshyhauling one This Convention saw this engines disassembly and work will continue on it during the year as this it belongs to the EAA Aviation Foundashytion Its easy to say that the lanky Red had one of the most popular attractions in the AIC Division s area of the Conshyvention and deservedly so

Elsewhere in this canvas theatre we see a Culver Cadet fuselage that has been most reworked and next to it laid out like small whale skeleton is the parshytially deskinned Culver wing When it was first brought over to the Restoration Tent the wing looked like a hopeless project But hopeless is a foreign word to restoration chairman George Meade and his two co-chairmen Dave Broadshyfoot and Clarence Schreiber George is president of the Milwaukee Wisconsin area AlC Chapter 11 These gents apshyproach hopeless looking restorations the way Tolkeins little heroes accepted their ring quest And besides what folk have been able to turn down a restorashytion challenge who deign to call themshyselves proper EAA members

have been overwhelmed with the task of getting the restoration facility preshypared for the Convention by themshyselves The airplanes and other paraphernalia from the Museum had to be catalogued first and some of the reshystoration had to be done in advance This would not have been possible withshyout the help of many members of AlC Chapter 11 Long before the Convenshytion Chapter members would journey to Oshkosh on Saturdays to accomplish the preparation Tom Hampshire was the main assisting worker for this effort

and for working the exhibit itself all durshying the Convention

By the end of Oshkosh the Culver wing had been properly denuded and plans were being made to rebuild its ribs and to apply a new plywood skin The original skin had been removed very gingerly involving the use of chisels to pry (or prise if you care to) the skin from ribs and spar This routine went on and on during the week and showed off the concept of the Restorashytion Tent It was a place for members to stop by roll up their sleeves and

work Although many members helped with the various projects one member of EAA Chapter 277 stood out Bob Lembcke had worked on Culvers beshyfore and he was like a moth to a light bulb with the work on the Culver wings

We were intrigued with this tent ourshyselves because we have found that you really dont appreciate the full beauty of a particular kind of aircraft until you have been involved with some of its reshybuilding

While Larry DAttilio was standing around trying to take in all of this activshyity he became aware of some of the elders hanging around the E-2 CUb As part of our job to insure good press for the AlC Division we needed to be lookshying for human interest stories to feed reporters Stories associated with the origins of airplanes are always interestshying Then there was that pretty E-2 Cub that Larry had just seen over at Gene Chases hangar on Wittman Airfield to further stimulate his interest Would he overcome his famous shyness () to ask these elders for an interview

One of these elders was Bite Livingston who is 82 and has quite a story to tell As it turned out his associshyation with Taylorcraft exceeded his asshysociation with the Piper product There is too much to tell for the scope of this article but a few highlights should be mentioned

Bite is the brother of now deceased Johnny Livingston a famous pilot who is said to be the role model for a certain perapatetic seagull As a showman pilot Johnny was dependent on Bite to help promote his aviation feats Bite was perfect for this as he was an experishyenced promoter of the airplanes for which he was a dealer

Bite said that in 1937 CG Taylor deshyveloped a distributorship for his airplanes at a whopping 25 percent margin for the dealer That begat Bites association with Taylor which lasted until 1946 when the Taylorcraft people went to a factory-direct selling operation only and he sold 137 of them in 5 months - sort of a last deep gasp (Gee whiz we heard only two new airplanes had been sold in all of Wisshyconsin in the first two-thirds of 1985) Another reason that Bite switched to Taylor back in 1937 was because of the crippling fire Piper just had at his Bradshyford Pennsylvania plant Our venerable Bite related that when Taylor heard of Pipers terrible fire he broke down beshycause Taylor wanted to beat him fair and square Really a wonderful person to talk to Bite is typical of the type of person you can meet at the Restoration Tent

Two other fellows to interviewed were George W Kirkendall 83 and Roger Wolcott 73 George had been with the Light Mfg and Foundry Co and said that brought him into early contact with Taylor Roger said he was chief inspec-

tor for Taylorcraft from 1946 to 1950 They both related stories on the deshyvelopment of the early Cubs and then the Taylorcraft

It is too bad that the history of the past could not have been recorded as it occurred with the same detail that is possible today through computers The development of a whole new airplane is a very important part of history espeshycially because it involves so much creashytive thinking This process is in the best human spirit and interesting to all of us later on Aviation history is incomplete since usually an aircraft ends up with a lot of other input into its ultimately sucshycessful prototype It is this input that goes unrecorded and its authors unshysung We guess there is no sense getshyting upset over this since thats life After all how many of us as parents have felt our contribution unsung when our kid got to be 18

Next years EAA Convention will once again see the curtain rise on this permashynent facility Plan to hang out and bring a shirt you can get dirty Most imporshytantly - this is not just an activity for men As we have discovered in restorshying our Bellanca we both enjoy the reshystoration work and Pam acquires skills simply by doing And by the way it is a lot of fun bull

DAVE SERENES

PIPER PA-20 PACER by Dick Cavin

(Photos by Carl Schuppel)

As we walk by the hundreds of disshyplay airplanes at an Oshkosh fly-in we tend to focus our thoughts and admirashytion on the ones that are the most outshystanding Usually we dont stop to visshyualize what the owner really had to do to get it to its present state

Each and everyone of those gleamshying restorations out there has an owner who has invested a good sized hunk of his money (and who knows how many hours of labor) to present the object of his affection in the most favorable light to the critical eyes of the assembled aficionados There is a real human inshyterest story behind each and everyone of those restorations - stories that would fire the spectators interest even more if they could but hear them Dave Serenes story is one of those

Its a story that began back in 1977 when Dave Serene (EAA 209915) 914 Main Street Ford City PA 16226 alshymost bought this particular 1952 Piper PA-20 Pacer with its 125 hp 0-290 Lycoming engine He got outbid a couple of hundred for it then but he kept

track of it for five years In November 1982 the owner in Kentucky advertised it for sale

When Dave first dickered for it he knew it had some corrosion on the lower longerons In the intervening five years he knew it was bound to be worse When he told the current owner about this he got a quick sale price of $2500 so Dave now owned Piper PAshy20 Pacer N1580A SIN 20-814 At about half of his original bid

It wasnt exactly a bargain though Dave described it as a flying basket case The engine turned out to be junk When he pulled 3 jug so much oil came out that he could have sold it to the Arabs he said He also found three of the four jugs were cracked so obvishyously the engine had to be majored EI Reno did the cylinder work and a Colshyumbus firm did the build up part of the major At this point his investment had more than doubled the purchase price but he hadnt really gotten started spending money yet

His next surprise came when he noticed the right wing had an unusual amount of washout He decided a pocshyketknife inspection was in order Sure

enough he found the rear spar badly bent That was just the worst part though There was much more

After he had completely stripped the right wing he decided hed better go over the rest of the structure with a fine tooth comb He didnt have to do much combing though until it was plain that a ground up restoration was called for Little did he realize then that the total bill for parts alone would add up to alshymost $20000 before he was through

The right wing damage showed the airplane had been ground looped at least two or three times Parts of the gear legs and supporting structure had to be replaced Before he could do much in that department though there was much much work to be done on the longerons and stringers This airplane had always been a tail dragshyging Pacer and the tail end of the longeshyrons caught a lot of water over the years Back in this area the rust flakes were desperately holding hands to keep it all together

It was big decision time about now for Dave He either had to go first class and build up an airplane that would last 20 years and spend a lot of bucks in the

VINTAGE AIRPLANE 9

Dave Serene and his son

process or push it over a cliff and forget the whole thing A good friend an excelshylent AampP entered the picture here and helped Dave decide so it was damn the torpedos full speed ahead time

The airplane was towed over to the friends shop which was 35 miles from Daves house Dave works for US Air in the stores department and normally had to drive 65 miles to work each day His new routine was to get up early and drive to the friend s shop work a few hours drive home grab a quick bite drive to work and then do it all over again the next day It was over 200 miles per day driving plus working two jobs (in effect) a real grind for anyone

When new tubing was spliced in on the lower longerons and all sub-strucshyture and U-channel stringers replaced it was all sprayed with epoxy primer This time the tubing got an internal oil bath to ward off future rust A new stainshyless steel firewall was installed and all new 18 control cables of stainless steel were installed along with all new fairleads and pulleys

The original wheels and tires were 800 x 4s with the notoriously poor exshypander tube brakes Dave decided to replace them with 600 x 6 Clevelands with double puck disc brakes along with all brake lines and dual toe brake cylinders This got into a lot of work and ate up quite a few belts of wampun too

It was looking much better now but there was lots of work still ahead The airplane was completely rewired and modernized with Klixon pop-outs along with a heavy 00 copper cable from batshytery to starter and oversize ground

box under the right front seat had to be replaced along with the battery itself

Back on the tail most of the structure was pretty good but Dave decided to go with all new brace wires All hinges had to be replaced due to wear The 8 maule tail wheel wasn t original but was good enough to survive the junk pile An all new stabilizer jack was installed as the old one was rusted solid

Dave decided to use a 56 Tri-Pacer instrument panel in order to get the radios where he wanted them Post lighting was installed but he retained the original moonlight system as a back up and as a map light The starter button between the pilots legs was eliminated and replaced with a key switch

Many of the instruments had seen better days so a brand new airspeed indicator altimeter VSI electric turn coordinator compass and artifical horishyzon were called for The Pacer orignally had only a King KX-150 installed but

Dave put in a Narco 120 NavCom a Narco AT -150 transponder and an Apollo Loran C for his avionics packshyage The NavCom is only a backup as the Loran works so well Dave says he can even get down in the valleys with confidence using the Loran when he has to contend with low visibility on cross country flights Dave also added an EGT to the panel and uses it religishyously A dry vacuum pump to run the artificial horizon and directional gyro was still another addition

All the sheet metal work on the airplane was replaced Only the nose bowl and spinner were useable Door skins belly pan boot cowl and wrapshyaround were all meticulously fitted right along with all new metal leading edges on the wing

New wing parts were used where needed and even new struts made the team New windows and windshield were next but here Dave went back to the original sliding side windows for cooler summer operation even though the fixed windows were much quieter A stall warning indicator and windshield defrosters were the next items to be added

It was recover time now and Dave opted for Ceconite 102 and Randolph urethane paint but before he started this he put the former interior back in It was fast approaching Oshkosh 83 time and just three days before its opening they shot the yellow of his tri-color paint scheme at 1 30 am They went to breakfast and came back at 830 am and shot the red They shot the orange after lunch at 1 pm and that night they trailered it to the airport and assembled and rigged it

An hour test hop verified the engine and airframe to perform as advertised so on opening day he struck out for Oshkosh Enroute the VOR and comshypass played dead but that was only a minor annoyance for a guy who had been through what the last year had disshyhed up for Dave The new engine purshyred like a kitten all the way and soon the tires were squeaking on runway 27 at Wittman Field

As he flew he thought back over the

straps throughout A new 65 amp altershy Over 1400 hours went into this beautiful custom restoration which resulted in a Best nator was also installed The battery Piper Award at Oshkosh 85 10 DECEMBER 1985

The Pacer is finished yellow with red and orange trim The attractive paint scheme compliments the crafts lines

past year and all those dollars and torshyturous hours His buddy had put in over 1000 hours on it and Dave another 400 At the midway point he wanted to sell it and pay his good friend for his work but his buddy would have none of it He said Go fly it and pay me when you can Since then Dave has worked many hours of overtime to pay his debt

When he saw the gleaming polished beauties at Oshkosh he realized a fabshyric airplane would have tough sledding to make Grand Champion so he was content with the Best Piper Award When he got back he yanked the old interior and reupholstered everything in a matching crushed velour

One day while flying through some heavy rain all the paint peeled off the wing leading edge He had to replace that before he went to Sun n Fun 84 where he drew another Best Piper Award He later built up a pair of superb fiberglass wheel pants that added a lot

X-3790 the prototype Arkansas Aircraft Company CommandshyAire later to be deSignated as model 3C3 Note ailerons on both upper and lower wings

sign This new design was a low wing monoplane powered by an 80 horseshypower engine (after World War I Gershymany was limited to aircraft production with no more than 80 horsepower by the Treaty of Versailles)

In the United States the airplane was slowly evolving from a fighting machine into a pleasure business and instrucshytional machine One Heinkel engineer Albert Voelmecke (later spelled VolshyImecke) was fascinated by the growth of civil aviation in the US He decided to explore the possibility of becoming involved with a wide open aviation inshydustry with no restrictions

Vollmecke saw an advertisement in a trade publication for an aeronautical enshygineer at a small manufacturing plant in Little Rock Arkansas He answered the ad and was hired by the Arkansas Airshycraft Company in early 1927

The company had a designer who had constructed an airplane that could be used for training and business flying The airplane was a biplane powered by a surplus Curtiss OX-5 engine of 90 horsepower and was designated as the model 3C3 There were some problems with the design both in construction and flying characteristics The original designer a graduate of the Masshysachusetts Institute of Technology by the name of Kronk did not have a great deal of experience in the new industry

Vollmecke was hired to modify the original design in order to make the airshycraft more stable He redesigned the wings removing the ailerons from the upper wings and lengthening the aileron on the lower wings In addition he instalshyled slotted ailerons originally developed in Germany by Dr G Lachmann The new design flew quite well and was exshytremely stable

Application for an experimental license for the aircraft was made to the Department of Commerce Aeronautics Branch on December 6 1927 License number X-3790 was issued December 16 1927 to the Arkansas Aircraft Comshypany for the Command-Aire model3C3 Later on May 31 1928 serial number 500 was assigned to the aircraft

Vollmecke was hampered in his deshysign work because many parts fittings and components had already been fabshyricated before he was hired The proshyduction Arkansas Aircraft Corporation Command-Aire 3C3 was perfected from experimental work on X-3790 Arkanshysas Aircraft Company had purchased a number of surplus Curtiss OX-5 enshygines from the government and conshytinued to install them in their aircraft until the supply was exhausted Approxshyimately 116 OX-5 powered aircraft were manufactured by the firm which was later renamed Command-Aire Incorposhyrated

In the early days of aircraft designing airworthiness requirements were very vague When the Department of Com-

merce Bureau of Air Commerce instishytuted the Approved Type Certificate in March 1927 it also adopted Aeronaushy Stabilitytics Bulletin 7 It was a small publication with less than 50 pages Bulletin 7 conshytained requirements dealing with deshysign construction and flight characterisshytics of aircraft for use in air commerce Vollmeckes designs always exceeded the Bulletin 7 requirements

Vollmecke modified the basic model 3C3 by installing various engines of the 90 to 185 horsepower range as the supshyply of surplus Curtiss OX-5s dwindled He used Warner Curtiss Challenger Siemens Halske Wright and others He designed the model 4C3 for the Walter radial engine manufactured in Prague Czecholslovakia It developed 120 horshysepower at 1550 rpm Only 1 aircraft was built because the engine refused to run smoothly on the low octane fuel available in the United States

Vollmeckes model 5C3 was origishynally designed for the 175 horsepower Curtiss Challenger 6 cylinder radial enshygine Approximately 35 aircraft were built by the factory during 1929 and 1930 under Approved Type Certificate 184 Other modifications built under difshyferent ATCs included the 5C3-A (Hisshypano-Suisa 180 hpj the 5C3-B (Axelshyson 150 hpj and the 5C3-C (Wright 185 hpj The model 5C3 first appeared in 1929 and featured many improvements of the model 3C3

In January 1930 Vollmecke designed the model BS-14 and BS-16 These airshycraft used the basic 5C3 wing and emshypennage but the fuselage and landing gear were different They were deshysigned primarily for aerobatic training Only 1 of each model were built the BS-14 being powered by a Warner 110 hp engine and the BS-16 being powshyered by the new Lycoming 210 hp enshygine

On July 7 1930 work was completed on a small racing plane powered by an American Cirrus supercharged engine developing 110 horsepower It was deshysignated the model MR-1 and was VolshyImeckes last design for CommandshyAire Incorporated With pilot Lee Gelshybach at the controls it won the All Amershyican Flying Derby of 1930

Command-Aire Incorporated went into receivership due to the depression that had spread across the country The company never reorganized and ceased to exist in 1931

Albert Vollmecke stayed with the company until the end He worked odd jobs to make enough money to survive the hard times

In 1933 Vollmecke joined the newly formed Aeronautics Branch of the Deshypartment of Commerce He stayed with the Civil Aeronautics Administration through reoganization into the Federal Aviation Administration In 1968 he reshytired from the FAA He was Chief of the Airframe and Equipment Branch bull 16 DECEMBER 1985

REMEMBERING THE STEARMAN I The 14th National Stearman Fly-In

1 L It L

Headquarters for the Stearman Fly-In is this building on the Galesburg IL airport Clear weather and light breeze was a special order

by Philip Handleman (EAA 227599 NC 8488) 555 South Woodward Suite 1308 Birmingham MI 48011

The seldom heard rumble of dozens of round engines reverberated across the dew-moistened cornfields of central Illinois As the first rays of sun cracked over the horizon one could see silhouetted against the gradually brightening sky the outline of a lone open cockpit biplane circling at low alshytitude as if harkening to its brothers to come and join it aloft And so they did In groups of two and four the colorful antique biplanes broke out from their neat wingtip-to-wingtip parking rows and ascended into the still calm mornshying sky formating into a veritable airshyborne bouquet

This is a regular highlight of the anshynual National Stearman Fly-In at Galesshyburg Municipal Airport Most of the asshysembled Stearmans (73 altogether this year) participated in the dawn patrol to tiny Monmouth Airport 16 miles to the west The ostensible incentive to climb out of bed before sunrise is the

promise of a hearty breakfast at Monshymouth but the rare privilege of flying low over unimposing Midwest cornfields in unison with a horde of other roundshyengined biplanes appears to be the pilots real motivation

After breakfast an aerobatic compeshytition is held at the Monmouth Airport It is amazing to see what intrepid Stearshyman pilots can do with their massive 18 DECEMBER 1985

aging double-winged airplanes - from loops to rolls from Immel manns to Split Ss they all make the maneuvers look so easy For safetys sake and in acshycordance with federal regulations the aerobatics are conducted at a minimum of 1500 feet Looking up that high you can develop a stiff neck before too long but that is a small price to pay to ensure safety

Although it is still early morning some of the townspeople of Monmouth are present The most enraptured are the children who approach the Stearmans on the flight line with obvious awe in their eyes Some of them poke at the shining fuselage of one of the planes only to find that these old birds are

made of fabric not metal Most of the grown-ups on the field by constrast are oblivious to the airplanes for they have come to a cattle auction being conshyducted in a stockyard that appears to have been a row of hangars at one time The auctioneers rapid-fire yodeling can be heard against the steady hum of the competing Stearmans

In the comfort of a nearby air-conshyditioned office a few old-timers includshying Deed Levy the original chief test pilot on the Stearman project reminisce about the founder of the company Lloyd Stearman who made the plane and his lasting contribution to aviation There is of course talk about the fashymous airplane itself and how it became

Americas leading primary trainer of World War II

This sturdy two-place open cockpit biplane variously known in its military trainer days as the Kaydet and the Yelshylow Peril but now usually called simply the Stearman fills a hallowed place in the hearts of most aviators It was an airplane that made the dream of flight come true for nearly a whole generation of aspiring pilots and today hundreds of that airplane are kept flying by dedishycated enthusiasts as exemplified at the National Stearman Fly-In held this past September 4-8

The sun now stands high in the hazy sky above The aerobatic competition concludes with a flourish and it is time to return to Galesburg

Unbeknownst even to many of the regular attendants of the Fly-In is the fact that Galesburg is not merely home to the worlds largest annual gathering of Stearman aircraft but also is the

Photographed as it was climbing out from Monmouth was this North American T6-G SIN 49-3066 registered to John C white and red Stearman which we are unable to identify Any Hooper New Orleans LA was flown to the Monmouth Fly-out help from the readers

from the festivities for just a few moshyments I meandered to that dot on my city map indicating the location of Sandburgs historic birthplace To my delight this quaint white-frame cottage with picket fence and flowered lawn was accepting visitors It is a museum now with framed letters signed by the immorshytalizer of the common man and musty old books stacked in corners here and there

On one table rests an ancient Reshymington typewriter a piece of equipshyment one would rightly expect to find in a museum I wondered how anyone even a literary genius like Sandburg could hammer out parts of the multi-volshyume THE PRAIRIE YEARS on such a seemingly slow and ill-suited machine But then I thought many of the local folks watching the vintage planes lumber over their town during the Fly-In probably wonder how such ancient machines could have trained the men who became our nations greatest comshybat pilots in World War II

Back at Galesburg Municipal Airport the fun was in full swing The farmers and their families who could find the

of the Stearman Club

time to drop their chores stood in line for rides in accommodating Stearmans and a couple of AT-6s Nearby hangars were full of items of interest everything from brand new intercom systems to Tshyshirts and other knick-knacks that sold like hotcakes The headquarters buildshying though boiling from poor ventilation processed a constant stream of eager new members to the Stearman Restorshyers Association

The sky above Galesburg blossomed with practically all the Fly-Ins Stearshymans even those belonging to the pilots who snoozed through the dawn patrol At times the atmosphere resemshybled the way it must have been in an earlier era at places like Randolph Field and Pensacola It was hard not to feel a chill run down your back as this mulshytitude of ragwings flew overhead majesshytically on a bright day in the Midwest

There was more competition - spot landing precision drop formation flight - all conducted in sportsmanlike fashshyion without serious incident As the sun began to wane the lines of people wanting rides grew longer The Stearshyman pilots giving rides finally starting

to tire from a day packed with flying from dawn continued to offer the last ride of the day hoping to quench the town s thirst for the thrill of flight in an open airplane until at last fatigue got the best of them and the patient people of Galesburg had to be told to come back tomorrow for their rides

The Fly-In contingent sought relief from the stifling heat before dinner by soaking in the pool at the events central hotel It has become almost a tradition to dunk one of the unsuspecting pilots into the pool so I stayed a respectable distance away

By evening everyone appeared in the ballroom amazingly refreshed and in good spirits This would be the last official night of the Fly-In with tomorshyrows professional airshow capping off the annual five-day event As the myriad awards were handed out you could see in most everyones face the desire to keep this wondrous flying exshyperience from ending At the close of the awards banquet you could sense something in the air - that you would see these same flyers at next years Nashytional Stearman Fly-In bull

Restorations - How Complete Are They

Many admirers in searching for their first Waco may be totally unaware of what they are actually purchasing A complete restoration the seller says but how complete Is it just a clean-up with new fabric new paint a highly polished propeller new stainless wires new tire and wheel pants etc

How sure are you of the conditions beneath fabric and polish Annual Inshyspections do not include such items as shown below Wings must be removed and attachment fittings removed for proper inspection

Waco Aircraft - Corrosion Inspecshytion

Intergranular corrosion was found in the spar crush bushings in all wing fitshytings of a Waco Model UPF-7 aircraft during overhaul The corrosion was most prevalent in the lower wing at the root and UN strut fittings It is recomshymended that these areas be examined very closely during inspections The bushings are a close press fit and can be removed by using a wooden dowel and a hammer If they are seized this is a good indication of expansion caused by intergranular corrosion When this occurs the spar holes should be checked for elongation caused by expansion of the bushing It may be necessary to remove the reinforcing plates to accomplish this inspection If the spar holes are elongated it may be necessary to replace the entire spar

Complied by Gene Chase

These conditions may exist in other models of Waco aircraft or other aircraft of similar design

32 degrees before top dead center with full advance The firing order is 1-3-5-7shy2-4-6 (1-3-5-2-4 for the Junior)

Best results will be obtained if the magneto breaker point assemblies and distributor blocks are removed at 20shyhour inspections and thoroughly cleaned in gasoline using a soft brush to remove all foreign material and then allow to dry before replacing When disshytributor blocks are moved the disshytributor drum inside of the magneto can be wiped clean with a lintless cloth moistened in gasoline Place a very small drop of light aero oil on the breaker arm axle before re-installing the breaker point assembly While cleaning these parts check for defects andor wear

Do not tighten magneto synchronizshying rod bolts where they attach to the magento advance arms A bit of play must be provided here to permit free movement

It is advisable to lengthen the magshyneto advance spring (as provided on the Fairchild 24) by stretching it about 12 inch This decreases its tension tends to prevent breakage and provides easier operation of spark control

Valves and timing

The valve timing is arranged 10-60 ie the intake valve opens 10 deg beshyfore top center and closes 60 deg after while the exhaust valve opens 60 deshygrees before bottom center and closes 10 deg after top center Timing clearshyance is 0027 in for both valves

The correct valve tappet clearance is 0010 inch with the engine cold Adjust the cylinder one at a time in the firing order beginning with NO1 The tappet clearance is adjusted by means of an adjusting screw located in the push rod end of the rocker arms held in place by either a locking nut or bolt depending upon the model of the engine

Oiling the valve stems daily with a generous quantity of good grade of low carbon neutral oil such as Marvel Valve Oil Springeeze Mystery Oil etc will prevent sticking valves When it is imshypossible to get suitable valve guide oil a mixture of two parts of kerosene and one part of light aero oil can be used with good results (early models with open rocker arms only)

Operators of the old style Warner Scarab engines have developed a very ingenious and successful means of preshyventing breakage of the rocker-box mounting brackets

The mounting brackets are subjected to tremendous stresses due to the force exerted by the cam in opening the valve being transferred to them Hence if a rocker box becomes even slightly loose on its mounting bracket (which is a part of the cylinder head casting) the excessive bending strain will often cause failure of the bracket 24 DECEMBER 1985

Steel hooks are attached to each rocker box by means of 632 steel machine screws A length of 18 in airplane cable is run entirely around the engine from cylinder to cylinder through these hooks and tightened up snug by a turn-buckle joining the cable ends Just enough tension is given the cable with the engine cold to take up the slack and bring the cable up snug Avoid excessive tightening which will nullify the advantages of the cable harshyness

This method of preventing breakage of the brackets has been thoroughly service tested and has proven satisfacshytory and effective However even with this do not neglect inspecting the rocker box mounting studs for tightness and security every 20 hours

If while servicing the engine a pushshyrod should be accidentally dropped it should be carefully inspected for nicks or blemishes on the ball-ends If any are present they should be carefully honed smooth before replacing othershywise the damaged ball-end will overshyheat soon after the engine begins to run frying the grease away and possishybly resulting in push-rod failure

Carburetion

A single-barrel model NA-R5A Stromberg carburetor supplies the mixshyture The important jet sizes and the float level setting are stamped on a metal tag riveted to the top of the float chamber cover

A gasoline strainer is located inside of the carburetor This may be removed by unscrewing the brass plug in the botshytom of the carburetor directly below and in line with the gasoline feed pipe connection Also drain carburetor bowl

The Super Scarab engine has been found to idle best with the idling adjustshyment in full lean position Do not attempt to lean the carburetor still more by altershying the prescribed jet sizes as this will cause the engine to overheat

Avoid tightening the intake-pipe-toshycylinder nuts excessively when servicshying These pipes are easily damaged by excessive tightening

Important clearances Clearances are given in thousands of

an inch and fraction thereof Unless otherwise stated all clearances are diametrical

Lubrication

Conventional lubrication of the dryshysump type is used At least two gallons of oil should be present in the reservoir at all times

The correct oil pressure at normal rpm and oil temperature is 60 pounds and the normal oil outlet temperature is 120-160 degrees F for Scarab Jr and early model Scarab engines and 180

deg F for late model Scarab and all Super Scarab engines At no time should the engine be operated with an oil outlet temperature in excess of 200 deg F

Warner engines are fitted with an oil screen located inside the gearcase secshytion near the bottom This may be reshymoved by unscrewing the large acorn nut on the left-hand side of the gearshycase section and withdrawing the cover with the screen

The oil relief valve is located on the right-hand side of the gearcase section directly above the oil outlet connection and in the right-hand end of the oil scshyreen chamber

No adjustment is incorporated in the relief valve as low oil pressure is genershyally due to causes other than improper adjustment However the relief valve may be at fault such as dirty leaky stuck open weak spring etc The presshysure may be varied to a certain extent by varying the thickness of the washer under the relief valve cap or by placing a 14 inch plain washer between the valve spring and the guide

When plain oil rings are used it is imshyportant that they be provided with drain slots cut through their circumference

Watch the oil level closely Most ships using Warner engines have small oil reshyservoirs the Fairchild 24 for example having an oil capacity of 3-1 2 gallons Owing to the small amount of oil it should be changed regularly at 20-hour inspection periods

Service

Early Scarab engines should be primed before starting Later Warner engines use a carburetor equipped with an accelerating pump These engines may be sufficiently primed by opening and closing the throttle a few times while the engine is being rapidly reshyvolved by hand with the switch OFF

Set the spark at full retard when using a mechanical starter otherwise severe damage to the starter may result from a kick-back Should the starter fail to reshyspond instantly upon pulling the starter button investigate at once to avoid damage to the switch or starter Warm engine up at about 800 rpm

Excessive gasoline consumption and high oil outlet temperatures are someshytimes due to a slow indicating tachomeshyter resulting in the engine being opershyated at speeds beyond its maximum recommended rpm Always check the tachometer before looking for other causes

Do not fall into the all-too-common habit of stopping the engine abruptly by switching off the ignition It only requires a few moments and a cupful of gasoline to turn off the gasoline and let the enshygine idle until it runs out of gasoline switching off the ignition just before the

The early 1930s saw the estabshylishment of short domestic and feeder airlines in all parts of the world on which a number of Puss Moths were used for want of a type more suited to the task To meet the obvious requirement for something more roomy and economi shycal AE Hagg designed an aeroplane which would be not only cheap but have a useful performance while carrying the maximum possible payload on the power of one Gipsy III engine The reshysult was the Fox Moth unquestionably the first British aeroplane in the words of CG Grey to support itself financially

in the air Low initial cost resulted from using standard Tiger Me mamplanes tail unit undercarriage no engine mounting the only new major composhynent being the fuselage This marked a return to de Havillands time honoured spruce and plywood construction with accommodation for four passengers in an enclosed cabin with the pilot in an open cockpit aft DH 50 fashion On short pleasure flights it would carry five adults on a mere 120 hp an astonishshying feat of weight lifting which has selshydom been equalled If extra fuel was carried in place of the fourth passenger a range of 360 miles was possible

G-ABUO the prototype first flown at Stag Lane on January 29 1932 was

shipped to Canada and evaluated on floats and skis by Canadian Airways Ltd So sturdy was the design that it flew as CF-API for nearly 20 years enshyding its useful life with Levens Bros at Toronto in 1950 It was forerunner of seven Fox Moths erected at Downsview from British built components A total of 98 Fox Moths was built

Letters To Editor

Cliff Douglas Waco is the only Model EGC-8 in Australia

Dear Butch Joyce

Enclosed is a check for $100 from the Cessna 120140 Association to again show our appreciation for the AnshytiqueClassic Division s support of the Type Clubs We had over 200 people sign our registration book during the week of the Oshkosh Convention and 48 people joined the Association I dont know if its a record but it ain t bad

We had a ball at Oshkosh this year I was a little apprehensive about bringshying the wife and three kids to the Conshyvention but everything worked out great The kids made new friends and the wife and I renewed old ones This was Carol s second trip to Oshkosh and it was a present for getting her license in the Cessna 140 last year It is going to be tough for EAA to top this one next year

Hope to see you at Sun n Fun

Sincerely

26 DECEMBER 1985

Dear Dennis Parks

I have finally completed my Waco EGC-8 SIN 5051 of which you were inquiring It has taken about 2-14 years full time to restore it from the wreck which I purchased in Darwin in 1974 It was re-engined in 1958 with a 300 hp Jacobs as it appeared spares were hard to get for the Wright Whirlwind

The completed aircraft has turned out to be quite an eye stopper and it attracts a lot of attention from all of the enshythusiasts I suppose it being the only EGC-8 in Australia it cant help drawing attention

I have now just about completed all of the test flying and have flown it about five hours Apart from a few minor teething problems it flies hands and feet off just like a dream

Please find enclosed a photograph of the aircraft on the tarmac at Coolanshygatta Airport prior to its first flight regisshytered VH-CGF for Chewing Gum Field Aircraft Museum

Best regards

(1) It displays in accordance With 4521 (c) marks at least 2 inches high on each side of the fuselage or vertical tail surface consisting of a Roman capital letter N followed by

(i) The US registration numbers of the Aircraft or

(ii) The symbol appropriate to t~e airworthiness certificate of the airshycraft (C standard R restricted L limited X experimental) folshylowed by the US registration number of the aircraft and

(2) It displays no other mark that beshygins with the letter N anywhere on the aircraft unless it is the same mark that is displayed under subshyparagraph (b)(1) of this paragraph

4529 (b) HEIGHT the character marks
