THE RESTORERS CORNER

By J R Nielander Jr

Its again that time when we start planning for the annual safari to aviators paradise The 26th Anshynual EAA Convention and Fly-In will be held at Wittshyman Field Oshkosh Wisconsin from Saturday July 29 through Saturday August 51978

Your AntiqueClassic Division has again organized a full week of activities for antique and classic airshycraft and their owners These include the judging of the exhibit aircraft and the awarding of trophies in many different classifications Additionally well-known aviation pioneers and outstanding restorers will be recognized at the daytime Interview Circle and the evening Pavilion Program On Thursday evening the Division will present a History of Flight Pageant as the evening air show program The Forums Commitshytee has a full schedule of type club and general inshyterest forums planned These generally include inshyformation on maintenance problems parts availability and substitution modifications specific restoration techniques flight characteristics and aircraft availshyability Additionally there will be forums on techshyniques and procedures applicable to all aircraft These forums are scheduled for a 1 14 hour period and are held in a large meeting tent located next to the AnshytiqueClassic Division Convention Headquarters barn The tent is complete with blackboards rostrum pubshylic address system projection equipment and 250 seats

Again this year we are inviting all type clubs to make the EAA Convention one of their annual fly-in

actiVities Due to the limited parking space available in the Display Aircraft Parking Area we do not plan to park the aircraft by type However we do have the aircraft type signs available so if any type clubs want to have their own row(s) we shall be happy to supply the signs but it will be necessary for them to make arrangements directly with the AntiqueClassic Division Parking Chairman Arthur R Morgan 3744 North 51st Boulevard Milwaukee Wisconsin 53216 before July fifteenth and to police their own rows with their own members starting on Wednesday July 26 and continuing through the entire convention period

While we are talking about the Display Aircraft Parking Area we would like to point out that the EAA Convention is somewhat different from the average fly-in which we usually attend EDUCATION is the basic theme of the EAA Convention and your Antique Classic Division tries to encou rage this theme in both its forums and its Display Aircraft Parking Areas We would appreciate your cooperation in using the Disshyplay Aircraft Parking Area exclusively for parking those aircraft of which you can be justifiably proud of your work or efforts spent in its restoration reconstrucshytion or continued Tender Loving Care mainteshynance In this area we want to display that which we consider excellence in our field and that from which others can learn by close inspection by example and by conversing with the owners and restorers In this area he who is planning to restore an antique or classic aircraft can see what he can expect to achieve and can thereby be fired with enthusiasm In this area photographers can snap the finest collection of the restorers art In this area he who comes to admire historic beauty on wings can savour the excellence of workmanship

In the centerfold of this issue you will find a balshylot for the annual election of Division officers and directors In addition to the candidates nominated by the nominating committee there are spaces for write-in candidates of your choice Please exercise your right to vote and show your officers and direcshytors that you support them or write in the names of those whom you would prefer to see on the Division management team Only with your active response can we determine what is necessary to give you the organization which you want

JOINT DIVISIONS MEETING AT EAA HEADQUARTERS

The Officers and Directors of the Antique Classic Division the Warbirds and the International Aeroshybatic Club met on April 29th for the first annual Joint Divisions Meeting Chaired by Paul and Tom Pobershyezny the agenda focused on the state of the divisions and more effective methods of working together in solving problems that are common to all three divishysions Each division is interested in expanding its membership said President Paul in citing an example of how the three groups are unified and it will help us all if we exchange ideas for increasing our membershyship lists The reaction produced a wealth of ideas and suggestions all of which contributed to a highly successful day

Major discussions also developed on the subjects of EAA services to the divisions developments in the FAA (Charlie Schuck was there to explain FAA attitudes and action) participation at Oshkosh and in the museum

The days events proved what Paul Poberezny has long sensed that although the EAA tJas several divishysions it is not divided The special interest groups within the organization of EAA are tightly bonded by their mutual interest in flying and their desire to preserve their own way of doing it

Representing your interests at the meeting were J R Nielander Jack Winthrop Brad Thomas Claude Gray Art Morgan John Turgyan Kelly Viets Dale Gustafson and Bill Ehlen

A STINSON By Byron (Fred) Fredericksen

3240 W Beezewood Lane Neenah Wisconsin 54956

(Photos by the Author unless otherwise noted)

Left Mr J D Berr y right th e author and Stin son N NC 15 165 on an island across th e riv er fro m Nenana Alaska M ay 16 1972 (A ircra ft was landed in 50ft snow with the gea r up 90 miles w est of here in 1947)

What do you think about this my friend asked as he reached across the the table and handed me a color Polaroid photo My mind was still with some home movie films of airplanes we had just viewed when he spoke and I really only half heard what he had sa id The autumn Alaska air was cool even in the cabin as I shuffled my feet to a more comfortshyable position gulped some freshly brewed coffee and gazed at this photo As I began to realize what I was looking at I answered I didnt think any of these existed anymore My host then said Well this one does it is mine and I wanted you to know about it as I may dispose of it maybe there is still some work to do

I got a magnifying glass from my briefcase and studied the photo in detail The photo was of good quality but was taken very late in the day It showed a forest in the arctic twilight with some snow cover and parked in the shadows beneath some huge trees was an airplane A big airplane It had three engines on it complete with cowling and propellers The wheels and tires were removed but the gear was down and the airplane was mounted in this position on a very large log frame skid The fuselage top and windshield was covered with a canvas The tail group was visible as were the wing struts It was of course a low wing Stinson tri-motor airliner all complete except that the outboard sections of the

wings were removed I had a hundred questions to ask but thought better of it I poured some more coffee and listened to a tale about which one should write a book then make a movie As my friend reshyvealed his story of where this airplane was when he found it why it got there how he moved it to its present location and what sti ll remained to be done to get it out of the wilderness I realized a once in a lifetime adventure was unfolding here

Some readers will by now know my friend with the photo was Mr J D Berry for he briefly wrote of and had a photo of this subject Stinson in an Antique Airplane Association magazine some years ago This was 1970 when he informed me of this airshyplane and told me his story Ever since then I have been hoping he would write a complete story about his ten year ordeal to recover this rare bird He has not chosen to do so as of this date nor will I write of the COMPLETE story here I would however like to share the portion of this adventure in which I was personally involved along with some rare photos I took for those interested in Stinson history

I have always had a special interest in the Stinson airplane Twenty years ago I bought my first Stinson It was a 108-1 model Voyager I owned three other 108 series after that and some of the most pleasurable hours I have ever spent flying was in the left front seat of a Stinson Gull Wing I onee owned The publicashytion entitled THE STINSONS by John W Underwood is an excellent reference for the Stinson buff It contains good photos and history of all three models of tri-motors built by the Stinson Company In another of Mr Underwoods books titled THE VINTAGE AND VETERAN AIRCRAFT GUIDE there appears on page 42 a model A tri-motor with a caption which states N15165 is the last surviving model A N15165 is the airshyplane in the photos on these pages There is also a fine discription of the model A Stinson ATC 556 in Mr Joseph P Juptners book titled U S CIVIL AIRshyCRAFT VOL 6 I have not read where anyone has stated the exact number of these models produced It seems however some 35 were manufactured of which the prototype was first flown in mid 1934 with the bulk of production in 1935 and 36 Production had ceased by 1937 and by this time the As were operatshying in many foreign countries as well as in the US namely by American Airlines Central Airlines Delta and others I can ju st barely remember seeing these airplanes when I was a kid and I have always thought the A was a very hand some airplane The model A specifications and performance data were very impressive for it s time and they were well built

Arrival a t th e village of Nena na (Note huge tu g boats req uired to move the se barges and their cargo)

(My associates and I are rebuilding a 1931 high wing Stinson tri-motor at present which is the same type construction as the A with 4130 ClM welded steel tubing fuselage as well as wing spars welded up with same material into a truss) Ribs are square aluminum tubing The only wood used is for fairings here and there But then these fine aircraft like so many others of the past gave way to the more modern method of construction such as used on the Boeing 247 and Douglas DC-2 and 3 series with all the rivits and shiny aluminum

I will be brief here with the events involving the recovery of N15165 and its subsequent rebuild as I do not wish to steal the present owner s thunder or former owners should either ever decide in the future to do a complete story of this interesting adventure

Going back to 1970 at J D s home where he first showed the photo we speculated on what the airplane might be worth I have always felt any antique was worth what some one might pay for it However thi s airplane might well be the last of its kind Then two things happen one you can begin to justify the time and dollars spent to recover it and second one can dictate the selling price If it is the only one and the prospective buyer gives you a hard time on your price simply ask him to check around on the price of these models for sa le and if he cannot make a better deal come back and see me J D indicated what he might wish to take for it however we did not make any deal at that point in time Later when I was back home in Wisconsin I w as given a price which included the airp lane being brought out to civilizat ion where one could drive a vehicle to it At the tim e I was shown a photo of the airplane which was about halfway on its middotalmost one hundred mile trip from its original loca tion sight to the nea rest road J D had all hi s equipment in the bush at the Stinson site This included a D-8 Caterpillar equipped with a dozer blade a huge sled on skids which conshytained many fifty gallon drums of fuel and oil two five ton co me alongs snowmobile many parts and hand tools and the two airpl ane wings Along with

these he had built a six foot by twelve foot cabin for shelter mounted on skids for pulling This home away from home is called a Wanigan He would go ahead with the Cat and clear a few hundred yards of timber along the route he chose through the bush and over the ridges come back and hook up his train airplane sled and Wanigan and then unhook again and clear another path and so on The only catch to this process was that this had to be done in the winter months only as the unfrozen tundra would not hold up the Cat in the summer months And what with the break downs problems with starting and operating a diesel engine in fifty degree below zero weather uncertain ice thicknesses to cross over rivers coupled with very few hours of daylight that time of year in Alaska one wonders if any price is worth that A man all alone in this type of operation could get himself killed In fact the Cat did go through the ice once He got it free all by himshyself Another time be broke a foot in a mishap and laid in the Wanigan in that condition for ten days before a refueling plane he had ordered found him Talk about a dedicated antiquer Once again would this story not make an interesting movie And all it would require was a one man cast

I accepted J Ds asking price and had in fact made a deal with a third party here in the Lower 48 to acquire it I might add that was the first and last time I will ever be the in between man on a deal like this it cost me a very good friend and one cannot put a dollar value on that One cannot state he lost money he never had however I was offered thirty thousand dollars more for the airplane than I got for it while it was still in Alaska but then thats water over the dam I really was not in this for money J D and I only wanted to see this A find a good home and people that would rebuild her and fly it again And I understand it is being rebuilt at this time in a very professional manner

Anyway due to an almost inhuman effort the man

The monumental task is nearing comp letion and may be flying when you read this

This musellm and its contents has since burned to the ground

I then said goodbye to J D and spent the next six and a half hours inhaling Vodka martinis on a non stop jet to Chicago

The tri-motor was picked up by semi truck along with a new set of wings Mr Berry had aquired that went with the deal The airplane is being rebuilt in Crvsta Lak~ Wisconsin and should flv this summer Perh rt ps some day J D and I may watch it fly at sClIe antique meet

Bills Cessna 140 slips through a quick left turn in a test of-rhe new splas h rails

A Harbor for Classics By David Gustafson Editor

Some fo lks would argue that Bali Hi is a mythical Island out in the South Pacific where the best in life is an everyday affair There are a few peoplehowshyever who would be inclined to suggest that the protoshytype model for Bali Hi can be found on the Southshyeast corner of Stafford Pond in Westport Masshysachusetts Thats where Bill Walsh lives What makes it special Well hes got several acres of land in the secluded inlet of a clear lake He doesn t have palm trees though his Norwegian pines give the same effect on a warm and breezy summer night To improve the natural scene Bill put in a dock laid down some railroad track for a movable ramp that can be winched right into the hangar he erected 200

16

feet from the water Naturally there has to be someshything to place in the hangar so Bills lined the walls with tools and bending brakes The space thats left is reserved for his Cessna 140 Floatplane and the Aeronca Sedan hes rebuilding so he can be a twoshyfloatplane family

The Cessna 140 was built in 1948 and sent directly from Wichita to Sea Wings of Connecticut for conshyversion to floats It was then sold with floats and wheels With the stock Continental 85 horsepower engine the plane was marginal as a hot day aquatic performer Getting off the surf with two husky adults when its over 75 degrees out is a groaning process Some of the problem relates to the high speed airshy

foil that works nicely in cruise but does little to generate the kind of take-off lift you get in someshything like a Cub or Champ Even as a ground plane the Cessna requires a long take-off roll

Once airborne however the 140 levels off to a respectable 90 mph with a corkscrew that measures a wide 76 x 38 Bill s hoping to swap the C-85 someday for an 0-200 so he can take up so me of his fat friends in the mint julip season

As fa r as skidding around the pond Bill reports theres very little difference between the 140 and comshyparably sized float planes Of course the take-off runs lon ge r but once airborne (40-45 mph ) it climb s well and flies with much greater stability than a

land model The floats give it a big plane feeling says Bill

Stalls with a floating 140 are similar to the land configuration and intentional spins are strictly verbotten

When Bill bought the plane in 1963 it was on the floats but he couldnt get it off the water The floats leaked Experimentation revealed that the keel opened up on a take-off run so they were replaced Later he added spray rails which eliminated the center wake and brought the plane up onto the step quicker

In the wintertime the floats are replaced with skis and Bill goes out to race the ice boats Between

he floats and the skis the wheels havent been on the 140 for several years now When he wants to bounce around a paved runway he heads off to Fall River Airport haul s out a 170-B (of which he owns 1115th) and renews his acquaintance with toe brakes and squealing rubber

Like a growing number of people in EAA Bill divides his time between flying one project and tinkershying with another Hes lucky enough to have an Aeronca 15 AC Sedan as that other project He picked it up a couple years ago at a price that would take the wind out of some people Ask anyone who knows Bill or his close friend Fred Chew and theyll tell you that those two guys deserve a special suit that says SUPER-SCROUNGERS across the chest They have uncanny talents at picking up materials for nothing or next to it More than once in recent history theyve plucked chicken feathers out of an old Continental or Lycoming that was retrieved from the dark corner of a barn for around $100 (Actually Bills just finished a two-year term as President of EAA Chapter 51 in Middletown Rhode Island and Freds still the Chapter Designee - they have both done an excellent job)

When the opportunity arose they dickered and diddled and sang the song of a snake charmer until they could come home with a smile and that particular Sedan

Naturally the plane needed a little work The previous owner had argued with a pine tree The tree not only won but took the left wing as a prize The Aeronca was apparently so shocked by the action that it pulled back and stood up on the right wing as if to say I beg your pardon When things got back to level the right tip was mashed

How many times do you suppose guys like Bill and Fred have set out to unbend a wing but wound

Off and flying the 140 is a marginal performer on hot days with a full load

This Cessna 140 has been a regular feature in Bills back- yard for 15 years

up rebuilding the entire machine You can add their names to the list

One thing Bill quickly points out is that he and Fred are not engaged in a full-scale down-to-theshylast-screw restoration project Nope When it flies again i t will still be clearly recognizable as an Aeronca Sedan but there are some (approved ) changes in store Most obvious is the addition of brackets for float struts A presto-change-o routine with a few bolts will convert the plane from land to sea or vice versa

Conveniently it so happened that the greatest crash damage occurred on the left side Fred happily ripped out the bent tubes bent a few new ones and followed the STC cookbook for installing a left side door that opens upwards to the wing Its an approved mod for a seaplane configuration

Each of the large metal wings originally contained 20 gallon rubber gas bladders (say that three times) and both leaked after the crash Replacement cost was $700 apiece so the wing panels were torn off and Fred bent up a couple of metal tanks that are larger than the originals Between the tanks and the twisted metal from the crash Fred figures hes disshymantled at least 80 per cent of the wings and replaced 50 per cent of the total materials Included are a number of ribs shaped by hand on wooden formers which were also hand etched from the pieces bound for the junk heap That translates into a lot of aluminum the wing span is 376 with a chord in excess of 5 feet which produces 200 square feet of wing area In the end Fred will be able to reproduce any curved part of the Sedans wing and yes he plans to come up with quotes for others needing help (write Fred Chew 158 Meridian Street Fall River Massach usetts 02720)

With the Clark Y airfoil and a Continental 145 horsepower engine the Sedan leaps off the ground almost as fast as a two-place Cub When you turn it into a Seadan by adding a couple EDO 2000s it breaks surf suction with a simple hop skip and a slurping leap The only drawback is that with the 2000s you cant hop unless there are only two people on board With four people and full tanks the floats become submarines As a result the two resourceful metal benders who plan to build their own floats are giving serious thought to making something bigshyger

Detail of the float attachment fitting

Bills Aeronca was built in 1948 and like most classics its alread~ changed hands a few times Dr Paul Nussbaum was the first to drop mud on the carpets in 49 John Ru sh moved it from Missouri to Ohio ten years later After another decade a pair of partners in Pennsylvania flew it for awhile and then left it with another partnership in New York Gerry Broskin and Harris Gordon revamped the panel and went IFR Soon after that it became the answer to a dream for Ron and Diane Rissone in Randolph Massachusetts But then there was this pine tree That brings the odyssey of N1365H to Bill Walsh hangar and private seaplane base

The next time Bills Sedan sees another runway itll obviously be sporting rebuilt wings and new float brackets in addition there ll be a new windshield all new woodwork new ceconite new headliner new used back seats (from a Tri-Pacer yet) a new panel (still IFR) and discussion has already started about a total engine overhaul

Theres one other new item in the works for the Sedan When its checked out on its wheels again there ll be a streamlined gas tank nestled in the gear bay You see Bill and Fred have promised themselves this extended tour of South America once they finish

Then the Sedan will bob in the harbor beside the Cessna and Bill can wrestle with the question which one do I fly today

The Babv Cessna

It was born in Wichita Kansas at the Cessna fac-shytory in 1929 Because of the stock market slump the Airplane manufacturing business fell off drasshytically To try and keep the plant in operation Eldon Cessna decided to design and build a light airplane that could be sold at a low price As a result the EC-1 was developed It was powered with a 25 hp Cleone engine

At the time I was enrolled at the Braley School of Flying which was located directly across the road to the east of the Cessna field I spent much of my spare time at the field watching the men work on and fly the Baby Cessna It was a fascinating little airplane

Early last year I was looking for a suitable airshyplane to model for a C02 Powered model airplane contest I remembered the Baby Cessna and thought it would be just what I wanted

In doing research for drawings and photos I found that photos of both the EC-1 and the EC-2 were available but no drawings I had a photo of the EC-1 that I had taken with my Brownie box camera The EC-2 looked cleaner with its design refinements and the Aeronca E-107 engine

I met Eldon Cessna at-an OX5 get-to-gether at the Santa Paula Airport and we discussed the EC-2 at length He informed me that plans had never been published The EC-2 (cn 253 N405W) was the last Baby Cessna built

From the photos and from memory of being around the Baby Cessna these plans for a model were drawn Imagine what a delightful fun airplane it would be for a homebuilt replica project today These specifications appeared in the 1930 issue of Air Age magazine

1 I~rlII~llS Dear Sir

I am trying to get information on an aircraft that was built during the 20s called the Golden Eagle Chief It was a parasol wing powered by a radial engine type unshyknown Only about seven were built If any of your Antique classic division members know anything about this aircraft I would like to get in touch with them

I would like to take this opportunity to express what an outstanding organization I think the EAA is Ive only been a member for three years and only regret the years before I joined SPORT AVIATION is one of the best publications that I have ever read I have been to Oshkosh twice and to quite a few local fly-ins including Sun N Fun and have never seen anything more organized or better run I am looking forward to Oshkosh 78 and to continued membership in a fine organization

Sincerely james E Spradley (EAA 108947) PO Box 146 Rutledge Alabama 36071

Dear Mr Nielander Your editorial in the February issue of The Vinshy

tage Airplane is the best expression of the question of who is really qualified to maintain antique and classic aircraft (this applies equally well to some curshyrent aircraft such as the Bellanca Viking etc)

I submit the following recommendation as a way to offset some of the difficulties expressed in your excellent editorial to wit

The FAA should grant an A and E (or P) mechanics license to an individual who meets the following qualifications

(1) Passes three written examinations now required for the rating

(2) Passes the practical examination currently reshyquired

(3) Can show that he has actually done the major portion of the work in the restoration of an antique or classic airplane

You will note that the difference between these requirements and the current FAR part 65 requireshyments is the modification of sec 6577 which relates to on-the-job or schooling experience

From my own experience in restoring three airshyplanes (Luscombe Stinson Reliant Beechcraft B17L) I know that the amount of honest-to-God airplane and engine work in the usual restoration project is in exshycess of the stuff that the students in the approved

mechanic schools get Moreover during the 30 months practical experience referred to in FAR 6577 a lot of that time is spent just removing cowlings cleanshying sparkplugs changing tires sweeping floors pumpshying gas and plowing snow I guess what Im trying to do is build a case which shows that the antique classic restorer or homebuilder knows just as much about airplanes in general as does the individual who qualifies under the current provisions of FAR sec 6577

Very truly yours Thomas R Rench 1601 Circlewood Drive Racine Wisconsin 53402

Dear AI Perhaps I can shed a little light on the centershy

fold of the February issue of The Vintage Airplane The two planes pictured in the center of the page

are Top picture Wright Martin (Loening) M-8 Botshytom picture is an Ansaldo SVA-5 or SVA-9

The Loen ing was manufactured by the Wright Marshytin Corp and was built in 1921-1922 The factory deSignation was M-8

The Army Air Service designation was PW-2 PWshy2A and PW-2B Two of the PW-2 model were built in 1921 Gross weight was 2788 Ibs span 39 8 length 24 2 Ten of the PW-2A model were ordered by the Air Service but the order was cancelled after four were built in 1922 Gross weight was 2799 Ibs span 39 9 length 26 1

The PW2B was evaluated in 1922 but was never built Gross weight was to be 2976 Ibs span 34 1 length 23 4

PW-2 and PW-2A were powered by the Wright Martin H of 320 hp which was a Hisso built under license The PW2-B was to be powered by a 350 hp Packard engine

The Ansaldo can be either an SVA-5 or SVA-9 as the front view doesnt show whether it is a two place or single place The SVA-5 was single place while the SVA-9 was two place Both were powered by the Breda SPA-6A engine which was 6 cylinders and rated at 200 hp at 1600 rpm

I understand that there is an SVA-5 in a museum in Connecticut but I am not sure of this

Hope this information will be of some use to you Best regards H M Harkcom Harkcom Aircraft Service Rt 1 Inola Oklahoma

Dear AI In the February issue j R Nielander wrote an in shy

teresting editorial concerning the possibilities in the area of personal certification of antique aircraft by the owner restorer

Without blowing my own horn too loud I have worked with antiquers and others for the last 28 years doing what j R talks about signing off work for non-rated owners A lot of these people are really sharp and most do above average work and should be allowed to cut it on their own somehow

I think the key to this thing is for the FAA to set up a program whereby the interested antiquer could satisfy them that he is qualified to restore and mainshytain his antique This may not be as far away from FAA thinking as one might imagine as there has been talk around for some time at lower levels that the AampE ratings cover too much area for the average mechanic In other words the thinking in some areas of the FAA is that specialized ratings might be needed to have better qualified people in the field where needed If this thinking is still being kicked around in the FAA then the people in the antique field would fit into the thinking already floating around

A specialized rating for antiquers that covered about what was in old manual 18 would not be diffi shycult to qualify for I would favor two ratings along the lines of the AampP If an antiquer did not want to get into the mechanics of engines he could go after an airframe rating only If he wanted to be able to annual his antique then of course he would have to hold both tickets To satisfy the FARs and the inshysurance companies I think the antique rating apshyproach has good merit

I have talked to several antiquers not rated and they all said that they would be happy to work toshyward a limited type rating that would allow them unrestricted labor on their own aircraft They all feel that they should have this opportunity and I concur I have not always been happy to sign off work as an IA due to the fact that there is no such thing as direct supervision even if you are in the same room all the time Also I have seen the FAA just as uneasy mostly because they as a whole are far from qualified to judge most antiques

Well hope this fills a small gap in the ove rall picture If I can be of further help in any way please let me know

Sincerely Bob Younkin 55 Appleby Road Razorback Airport Fayetteville Arkansas 72701 26
