Time and again I hear from our memshybers about their concern for the future of aviation and recreational aviation is ofshyten foremost in their thoughts Where is it going Who will be our future memshybers How can we get young people involved EAA and the Vintage Aircraft Association have been working on those issues for many years but recently weve kicked it up a notch or two

Many V AA members have been acshytively involved in part of that process and a great number of the nearly 500000 Young Eagles who have been registered so far were flown by pilots from within the V AA ranks Flying Cessna 120s and 140s Cubs Champs and so many others these youngsters were given the gift of flight and many came away with dreams and goals to guide their lifes path

Every year youngsters have come to Oshkosh to participate in the longest runshyning aviation youth camp in existence the EAA Air Academy But what else can we do And how do we do it A multi-faceted approach to that challenge is being fonnulated by EAA and we re proud to be a part of it In surveys and conversations with EAA and Division members expanding youth initiatives is right at the top of their wish list

Giving the youngsters a next step after their exposure to the world of aviashytion is important since for many of them running down to the local airport to just watch airplanes requires peering through an unfriendly 12 foot high chain-link fence Bringing aviation into the classshyroom with math and science curricula will be one area we can bring the excite-

ment of aircraft into the mainstream of education Website improvements and additions will also help lead the way as will programs for museums and youth groups There are even plans for proshygrams that can be hosted by local EAA and V AA Chapters

All of this work including the ongoshying Young Eagles Program is bound together under the Vision Of Eagles banshyner Educating and motivating youngsters in a way that will give their lives direction and purpose will benefit society as a whole and help keep the world of aviation available to a wide range of people

Soon youll receive an information packet about the Vision of Eagles initiashytives and an invitation to join in a $5 million fund raising campaign called Campaign For Kids Weve put together a blue ribbon panel of spokespeople from the worlds of education and sport aviashytion to get the word out They are Vanderbilt University Chancellor Joe Wyatt noted aircraft designer Burt Rushytan aerobatic champion Patty Wagstaff airshow performer Sean Tucker and homebuilder and fonner astronaut Robert L Hoot Gibson

The horsepower of such of group of leaders demonstrates the high level of commitment EAA has for this program a program that will have its impact for decades to come Thanks to many local leaders grass roots efforts have been underway to add value to youth aviashy

tion experiences Now its time to put our combined

weight into such an effort and give young people the chance so many of them need to get started Many of us can point to a specific person or event that was the catalyst for your career in aviashytion With your help we can continue to nurture the fragi Ie dreams and hopes youngsters have about their future

The Vision of Eagles Campaign for Kids will place $2 5 million into proshygrams such as Young Eagles and local Chapter programs to reach out to young people It will also be used to complete the EAA Flight Leadership Center a 22000 sq ft addition to the EAA Air

Adventure Museum which will be comshypleted in time for dedication during EAA AirVenture 99 The Leadership Center contains both classrooms and a spectacular interactive display called Hangar X

Within the concept of the Leadership Center the programs to reach out to schools chapters and others interested in helping kids scale the airport fence (figuratively speaking) will be worked upon and sent out to support efforts by Chapters youth organizations and other aviation museums Expanded youth proshygrams within EAA and the new 53 bed 10600 sq ft Air Academy Lodge will also be part of this expanded initiative

Programs such as the Vision of Eashygles initiatives are administered by the EAA Aviation Foundation whose leadshyership is quite excited to be given the expanded opportunities the Campaign for Kids encompasses

These programs are supported solely by your charitable contributions - your membership dues do not support the Foundation and each dollar you can send will be split between the outreach programs and an endowment to g ive long tenn financial support to the Vision Of Eagles Please review the material you receive and give it careful considerashytion The extraordinary opportunity we all have to impact young peoples lives in a positive way will pay dividends for decades to come

Its like planting a tree - your grandshyfather may never have lived long enough to enjoy the shade of that oak in his back yard but generations later youngsters can cool down in the summer under its broad branches and flop into its leaves in the fall Lets plant a tree for aviation and give it the nourishment it needs to grow and thrive Join us in the EAA Campaign for Kids and help ensure there will be enthusiastic owners of our beautishyful Antique Classic and Contemporary airplanes for many years to come

Its been a month now since youve received your February issue of Vintage Airplane with its announcement of our

VINTAGE AIRPLANE 1

new name and logo We asked a number of members their opinion about thi s name change and the vast majority indishycated they felt it was a good move Still you never know how it is going to come down until the total membership has the official word Well based on the letters phone calls and e-mails I have received 99 have been very positive reactions and the suggestions for improvement have been positive as well

One of the more interesting phone conversations was a call from a member who had been against changing the name of the division He called to tell me that after he had received his Vinshytage Airplane and saw the new look for the association he realized he had not been looking at the change with an open mind Once he saw the new name and logo he really liked it He laid the old and new logo side-by-side

Then it jumped out at him - the old logo did not have anything about airshyplanes on it (We noticed that as well) After seeing that he understood why when he wore any of the AntiqueClasshysic apparel people who did not know anything about airplanes would ask him what AntiqueC lassic was all about He said to me I wonder how many walked away without asking

That question has now been anshyswered and I am very happy and proud of the new look for your Vintage Aircraft Association A big thank you goes out for all of the hard work thought and foresight that your Officers Directors Advisors and EAA staff has put forth to arrive with the look that we now have We welcome any input from the memshybership that will help the association improve Youre also invited to submit articles for consideration for publishing in your magazine Vintage Airplane Send them to HG Frautschy our editor at EAA PO Box 3086 Oshkosh WI 54903-3086

Those of you in V AA Chapters have recently received a letter and form from the EAA Chapter office regarding the use of logos and trademarks Please be sure to fill them out and send them back in shydoing so quickly will allow the Chapter office to get you the logos you need to use in your newsletters signs etc If you have any questions call the Chapter ofshyfice at 920426-4876

Lets all put in the same direction for the good of aviation Remember we are better together

Join us and have it all

THE SKYCRAFT 447 Remember the Mystery

Plane of MayAugust 1998 (right) The Skycraft 447 was certainly one of the most unusual post-war airshyplanes built but only the one example was made As detailed in the note from Gene Coulter the plane still existed and was for sale along with the drawshyings and other supporting materials It turns out the project is being restored for new owner Quinn Boyd (EAA 129889 VAA 16663) ofEI Paso TX by Elmer Wards Square One Aviation Their most recent restoration was Frank Bormans Bell P-63 King Cobra and Elmer s recreation of AI Williams Gulfhawk F8F Bearcat A change from a Lycoming to a Continental engine is being planned for the Skycraft restorashytion We look forward to seeing it on the fly-in circuit

WANTED STINSON HELP

Dear Sir I am EAA member 426186 and

am wondering if you have any picshytures or data on this Stinson (below) I bought it in 1948 but ran out of money before I could reshybuild it

Now that I am an armchair pilot I am thinking back to the times when [ could have finished it

Maybe in one of your issues you would have something on it

lt was I think one before the Gullwing models I would like to know what the number was or deshysign horsepower (it had a Lycoming engine) speed cruising speed etc

Any reference you could give me would be appreciated

Merton Rupert (EAA 426186) McHenry [L

Dear Merton The Stinson from your past is a

SR-5 but I cant tell exactly which model (there was the SR-5 A E C D E and F) without knowing exshyactly which Ly coming engine was installed I hope that will help fill in a gap or two in your scrapbook - HG Frautschy

PHOTOS FROM THE PAST

DearHG Enclosed are some photos that may

be of some interest to readers Both of my parents were from Westchester County in New York state My mother was in possession of the negatives that produced these photos The boys in the photos are an uncle of mine and two of his friends

These photos were taken at the Arshymonk NY airport in 1940 The boys are Louis Pasciuti Ewald Jack and Harold Becker

The airport no longer exists It is now occupied by a large group of IBM buildings [believe It was the site of my first airplane ride in about 1954 I do not know what kind of airplane it was but I do remember that my Dad and the pilot were in the front seat and I was in the back so it was a four-seater I do wish I knew what it was

Paul Gordon (EAA 289386) HelenaMT

The boys must have had a great time hanging out at the Armonk NY airport They re shown with a cabin Waco a Beech Staggelwing and a Fairchild 24 with a Luscombe 8 in the background The Kinner B5-powered biplane looks like it could be a Waco INF biplane based on what I can seen othe landing gear and the engine - HG Frautschy

Navigating the Clouds Over San Diego Bay By Miss Ida Ro schmann

Thanks to the eagle eye of Bill Marcy who heads up the Aeroshygram staff during EAA AirVenture we have this facinating recollection of a Pioneer era passenger flight It was first pubshylished in CPA Flight Lines the newsletter of the Colorado Pilots Association edited by Sarah Barclay

Special thanks to pilot Bob Laidley ofLakewood Colorado who has shared his historical aviation collection with me This article was reprinted from Miss Roschmann s original letter all punctuation and grammar have been preserved The Flying Boat was operated by J D Cooper Instructor ofthe Aviation School on North Island San Diego CA The pure joy Ida experienced over 85 years ago is why I am sure we all fly today -Editor CPA Flight Lines

Mr 1 D Cooper Aviator took a test flight this morning at 10 oclock am before taking me for a ride in the flying boat As shown by the picture the cap I was given to wear is without a visor as that would flap with the wind and the coat which is nice and warm is in reality a life vest or life preserver No veil is allowed to be worn for fear of same becoming entangled in the wires

Before realizing what was happening rwas seated beside the aviator heard the humming of the motor and was rising from the

water and was surprised that there was no jar whatsoever The slowest elevator jars a little but riding in the flying boat is very smooth and even there being nothing to obstruct the way so different from land travelling

Travelling at sixty-two miles per hour at an altitude of about 2000 feet as per barashygraph a few moments upon ascending ones eyes begin to water as if crying but that disshyappears quickly

JD Cooper The puffy wind which can

not be heard whistling slaps your face so that it feels as if your cheeks were getting a massage treatment or being pulled Had my hair not been carefully tucked under the cap I have been told that it would have felt as if being pulled

In the forty minutes of our flight over San Diego Bay we passed San Diego Coronado Hotel National City Point Lorna and thence to the Pacific Ocean flying over many torpedo boats British Man-of-War A1gerine Cruiser Denver submarines Floatshying Machine Shop Iris for repair work on torpedo destroyers and submarines ferry boat launches etc

Upon climbing one gradually fmds it impossible to distinguish large from small buildings and entirely loses sight of the men on the boats everything appearing to diminish in size

The sensation felt upon descending is most strange and seems to be indescribable and at that time more than at any other you can realize the height you have been At this time it seems as though ones neck is being stretched or in other words as though ones head were raised upward

Attached to this flying boat is a 75 horse power motor which is a Curtiss 8 Cylinder which motor turns the propeller 1200 times a minute and is constantly heard buzzing during the flight In back of the seat are shoulder yokes which operate the wire to ailerons and are used to control lateral position similar to that of a bicycle that is when the biplane tilts to the right one leans to the left and vice versa this being very noticeable in making turns For longishytudinal control of the flying boat the aviator operates a steering post for ascending and descending

My tour of the skies was to me the most delightful and fascishynating forty minutes I have ever enjoyed and the enchantment is such that one flight makes one wish for more Previous to the ride I thought being at such a height would make me dizzy but the forward motion takes that away and it seems when rising that the water is leaving the boat instead of the boat leaving the water Aviation has become more interesting to me than ever and I hope that the chances for a ride will be so that others will begin to venshyture before long The above outlines one of the most captivating and enjoyable events of my life

The Stinson I08VoyagerWhich used Explosive Wing Bolts By Larry Westin

Its extremely rare for civilian aircraft to be equipped with electrically activated explosive charges Such deshyvices have long been used by the military and NASA as part of emergency egress systems although I dont know of any designed to separate the wings of an aircraft While I have not done in-depth research I am unaware of any other American general aviation airplane which used gt o

z(or uses) such explosive devices Ex-military warbirds now flying as part of the general aviation fleet may be an lt1J E

exception Thirty years ago one light single piston enshy i= middot1J fftcyen l c

Voyager was equipped with such explosive devices as C lt1J

safely back to earth When the a Three of the principles involved in the program Co-inventor Angelo pilot decided his airplane was After the Stinson landed Pilot Raiti pilot Tommy Walker and co-inventor Dario Manfredi You can disabled he (or she) would pull a Tommy Walker parachuted out see the door in the top of the cabin for the parachute of the test plane when ithandle inside the cockpit which

reached 1000 ft and decended activated the explosive devices faster than the Stinson which would remove pins holdshying the wings on With the wings gone (keep in mind this is while in flight) the main parachute was deployed The explosive charges having removed the wing attachment pins allowed the wings to physically separate from the airplane Once free the wings would free fall until their own parachutes opened to lower the wings to the ground

As the fuselage with pilot and passengers still aboard and now sans wings free fell toward earth a large parachute would deploy from the top of the fuselage With all occupants still in the airshyplane (gives new meaning to the recommendation keep your seat belt fastened at all times) the wingless fuselage would float down under the parachute to a safe landing

A practical test to prove the theory was necessary The two inshyventors modified and equipped a 1946 Stinson model 108 Voyager with electrically activated explosive charges special wing attach pins and parachutes This 108 serial number 13 was registered N39443 Although I cant locate a record ofjust how many explosive charges were incorporated at least three were needed for each wing Stinson 108s use two wing attach bolts to hold the wing to the top of the fuselage In addition anshyother explosive pin would be necessary at the lower fuselage point where the front lift strut attaches Additional modifications were necessary - the control cables had to be altered so they would allow the wings to separate from the fuselage Since the Stinson 108 uses wing tanks the fuel lines from each wing tank had to be severed Its unlikely explosive charges were used to sever the fuel lines

In the top of the fuselage just back of the rear seats a compartshyment covered with a rear hinged hatch was built to house the The now-restored Stinson off the shore of Long Island Flown by

As noted by Pete Bowers and Larry Knechtel this Curtiss B-2 was assigned to the 11th Bomb Squadron It is unusual for a bomber to have a blaze decoration on the nose and engine nacelles in the manner of contemporary Army Air Corps fighters

Curtiss B-2 Bomber

The December Mystery Plane was one of those big hulking bombers from before WW-II

From El Paso TX we got this response Regarding the Mystery Plane appearing in the

December 1998 issue ofyour wonderful publicashytion it is a Curtiss B-2 Bomber used in the old Army Air Corps circa late 20s early 3Os

My interest in aviation is primarily restricted to the same general time frame but to civil commershycially-built aircraft ofthe era ie Travel Air Waco Stinson Taylor Aeronca Swallow Ryan etc as opposed to militmy aircraft

But 1recalled seeing a Curtiss B-2 at Selfridge Field Ml during an Open House event back in 1930 or perhaps 1931 In my library I have a publishycation concerning the history ofall aircraft stationed at one time or another at Chanute Field IL between 1917 and 1990 The B-2 was such an aircraft reshyplacing DH-4s at the facility

The information concerning the B-2 in the pubshylication included the unusual feature ofplacing flexible weapons at the rear ofeach engine nacelle as well as in the bombers nose General info on the outsized bird gave it a 90-foot wingspan length of 475 feet with power from two Curtiss V-1570-7 enshygines of600 hp each Cruise speed was in the 133 mph range give a knot or two

Incidentally your excellent article on the Keyshystone K-78 Patrician mentioned the No 2 plane being flown by then Capt St Clair Street (sic) on a transcontinental tour to demonstrate its perforshymance and reliability [served in the 13th Air Force in the Southwest Pacific Area when the 13th was commanded by Maj Gen St Clair Streett He was afascinating man with a long and distinguished career as a true pioneer in th e development of American Air Power His successor toward the end of the war was a fighter pilot from Detroit MI who came over from th e 5th AAF Maj Gen Paul Wurthsmith

Ralph Nortell Spokane W A adds this Though high in quality and demonshystrating superior performance over anything in its class the Army ordered a production run of only 12 B-2s in 1928 The less expensive Keystone Panthers were to have the distinction of closing out the era of the heavy biplane bomber with a final order for 39 B-6As in 1932 Keystone

was to deliver a total of 140 bombers inshycluding revised LBs and production machines

The most unusual feature of the Condor was the machine gun nest in the rear of each engine nacelle which projected well beyond the trailing edge of the wing This flight view of a Curtiss B-2 of the 96th Bomb Squadron shows this detail clearly but it does not show another too well This plane was used to test an early automatic pilot during the 1930 West Coast Air Maneuvers in 1930 The pilot is off the controls and is standing on his seat The co-pilot not visible from this angle is out of the cockpit and laying on top of the fuselage - Pete Bowers

Cub - each conjures up a speshycific image or evokes a feeling

Imagine hearing Travel Air back in the 1930s and perhaps youd think of going to a far off destination in a magic carpet with silver biplane wings Read Executive and you think of a well dressed busishynessman climbing up into his shiny monoplane and winging off to some distant meeting with a corposhyrate board See the Piper Cub logo and instantly think yellow with a black lightning stripe

How about Eaglerock Now Ill be honest Im too young to remember

the airplane during its heyday but the name sure has impact It says strong capable of nearly efshyfortless flight able to take it etc

Alexander Aircraft must have thought so too as they named their biplane series produced in Denver and then Colorado Springs after two items famous throughout the West - rocks as in the mountains immediately to the west and the eagles who fished in the streams and rivers of Colorado

Built only a few decades after the west was won the Alexander Eaglerock A-I rolled out of the hangar in Colorado Springs A robust biplane powshyered by a Wright J-5 radial of220 hp the Eaglerock was very capable in the hot and high conditions of the west and became a popular mount for those who could afford it The A-2 model equipped with a WW-I surplus Curtiss OX-5 engine was celiainly

er elock

quite a bit less expensive ($7500 vs $2475 ) but the extra 130 horses were really needed out west when the air got thin Some added wing area didnt hurt either

Like many of its contemporaries the A series of Eaglerocks was available with a number of enshygine configurations from the common OX-5 to the 260 hp Menasco-Salmson The 180 hp Hisso was available one could even buy an Eaglerock with the six-cylinder radial Curtiss Challenger of 170 hp sold as the A-13 version

It must also be remembered that it was also stanshydard practice to allow a customer to order his airplane minus engine and prop Then he would ship his engine and prop to the factory for installashytion on his new airplane Having a wide range of engine choices gave a price range that could incorshypOlate a larger market and would allow a broader group of potential buyers to choose an airframe for their engine

Alexander Aircraft had one of the largest aircraft factories in the world at the close of the 1920s and the field elevation of nearly 6200 ft gave the facshytory plenty of opportunity to test the high altitude capabilities of their aircraft by simply rolling them out the hangar door and going flying One cant help wonder what it was like to take delivery of a new OX-5 powered Eaglerock on a hot July day shyyoud want to get up well before dawn and be rolling across the grass at daybreak so you could put a thousand feet below you (if you were headed

east) by the time the turbulence of midday made flying a wrestling match between you and the control stick

Before the J-5 powered Eaglerock there was the Longwing Eaglerock notable in many ways but especially since it was the first airplane built by Alexander Aircraft from the design work of a very young AI Mooney Only 19 years old at the time young AI designed the Longwing to keep the Alexander Aircraft company in the airplane business Before Mooneys design the company had made one copy of the Longren bishyplane with additional work on the design by Dan Noonan one of the bishyplane s original engineers When the airplane failed to get off the ground with Mr and Mrs Alexander who planned on flying it all the way from Denver to Detroit for the big Detroit Air Show young AI was able to show why the airplane failed to meet expecshytations Not only that he had his own design to show to J D Alexander and too his credit even Dan Noonan suggested that AI be allowed to folshylow through with his design

AI did just that finalizing the deshysign of the Longwing Eaglerock before leaving the company to work for the Marshall Airplane Company in Missouri a program that never reshysulted the actual production of airplanes available for sale In the meantime Alexander had Fred Landshygraff heading up the engineering to bring the Eaglerock design into the new air-cooled age reading the airshyframe for the installation of the

Wright J-5 With some foreshysight the team designed the airframe with a removable enshygine mount so that different engines could be mounted AI came back to Alexander just in time to get to work on certifyshying the biplane to the new Department of Commerce specifications as project engishyneer

The J-5 powered Eaglerock proved its mettle for many ownerpilots and well into the post-war period it was being flown as cropdusters usually with a hopped-up engine inshystallation Most of the Eaglerocks that survived the 1940s simply got used up as cropdusters - they were used for parts or didnt surshyvive a brush with the ground or obstacles

One of the few that did survive last flew in 1947 before it began an odyssey that would take over 50 years before it flew again Depending on your point of view it was either a pile of parts or a project In the early J980s NC439V eventushyally found its way to Joe Koller (EAA 23289 VAA 839 J) of North Lake WI At that time Joe owned a precision tool manufacturing comshypany Balax He was

very busy with his business and then following the purchase of the Eagleshyrock Joe carried his sweetheart Bridgetover the threshold after they were married Raising the two youngshysters Katie and John who would follow also added to his time load so understandably the time spent on the Eaglerock project was pretty limited Joe is also an avid collector of antique motorcycles and loves a good hot rod or two His oldest cycle is a J902 Mitchell built the year before the first Harley-Davidson was built Joe estishymates he has the most extensive collection of Wisconsin-built motorcyshycles in existence Still his talents in building up small mechanical items made plenty of headway into the pile

14 MARCH 1 999

of Eaglerock parts A new landing gear was welded up and a set of wheels were built as well While a pretty comshyplete project much of it needed to be recreated Also helpful was the late Stan Gomoll who was able to lend some parts he had from an Eaglerock project A full set of landing gear parts was lent by Stan so Joe could build up a set of jigs to construct a replacement for his biplane More welding was done on the lower fuselage longeron which needed to be reworked since a crash in 1947 had badly bent them

But the pile still had some big projects still lurking inside and each time Joe would trip over them in his garage he d think I have to ftnish this someday

The ftnal push came in the form of a gentle jab from a flying friend at the Hartford WI airport Tom Hegy (EAA 6849 V AA 16421) has been around airplanes as long as he can remember (his uncle is the iiI 01 propmaker Ray Hegy EAA 276) Tom chided Joe one day about the project and suggested he

have someone else ftnish it up Who Tom Brown (EAA 24495 V AA

6786) of Brown Aero in Unity WI came highly recommended by Tom Hegy who knew that Brown had the talent and persistence to finish this challenging project A full Wells Cargo trailer was hauled up to Unity WI where Toms shop and home are set in the northern end of the sandy plain that makes up central Wisconsin Joe refers to the location as geographically chalshylenged since it is a bit of a drive to just pop over and have a look at how things are going

Tom Hegys recommendation was certainly not in vain and Joe was pleased with the beautiful work that progressed in Tom Browns shop

One of the most time consuming parts of the restoration were the reconshystruction of the the wings At ftrst they looked okay thanks to the Alexander factorys method of dunking the entire wing structure in a Lionoil dipping

tank But closer inspection revealed a set of wings that needed a complete reshybuild The wing ribs were routed out plywood with capstrips on the top and bottom A lot of 116 aircraft ply was used and milled on a CNC machine with a router bit in it creating a stack of would-be ribs which then just needed a new 112 spruce capstrips to make them ready for installation on the spars

One of the nice things about the project was the length of time it had spent unrestored Lying around since 1947 meant that a few parts and pieces disappeared over the years but on the plus side when Tom scraped away some of the material on one of the sheet metal pieces he found what looked like original paint At ftrst he wasnt sure but a look at some factory photos obtained from the Smithsonshyians Air and Space Museum archives showed the dark color on the sheet metal To accurately match the paint the badly oxidized paint was doused with water and then the sample was

The impeccable interior work done in the cockpit of the Eaglerock Streamlining was just beginning to be seen in regular applications on shows the effort put into each restoration by Tom Brown of Brown many aircraft as seen in the shock cord fairings The complex landing Aero in Unity WI The Consolidated instrument panel cluster in gear had to be completely constructed from jigs made and checked the center is the jewel of the panel which also has a pair of Us against an original landing gear lent by Stan Gomoll Navy inclinometers and a genuine Bendix-Scintilla magneto switch

matched with a color chip while the water was still on the surface For darker colors this type of test can be very accurate if the paint is degraded

The finish on the restoration is Ranshydolph butyrate dope on the fabric with Dupont Centari enamel on the metal parts In an effort to keep the dope looking original it was kept just a bit flat and the Centaris shine was modified with just a touch of flattening agent to match the dope I think it is

one of the nicest matching jobs Ive ever seen on a restored airplane - the same look as the dope but with the added durability of the polyurethane enamel on the metal Just great

Keeping your ears open to whats happening around your circle of friends can be a big help too One day back in the mid-1980s Joe heard that EAAs Norm Petersen had chanced upon a Consolidated instrument panel and had it at his home in Oshkosh Joe called

and said Hey you still got that panel Sure do Norm replied The following weekend saw Norm

heading down to North Lake with the panel and returning home with a 1963 BSA 441 Victor motorcycle which Joe had offered to trade with Norm for the rare instrument panel A little horse trading can come in handy

Some help from other antiquers in the Midwest also added to the mix

Larry and Vic Gronskis Spanish-built Jungmann

By nG Frautschy

Jim Koepnick

CASA - Construcciones Aeroshynauticas SA of Cadiz Spain shyknew a good thing when they saw it in 1938 They were busy manushy

facturing all sorts of aircraft for the Spanish Air Force including aircraft oftheir own deshysign The bulk of their work in the interest of expediency were other designs too inshycluding the Dornier Wal and the Vickers Wildebeest torpedo seaplane Probably the most enduring aircraft they built under lishycense from an original manufacturer was a copy of the Bii 131 Jungmann designated the C A SA 1131 The Biicker Bii 133 Jungmeister has quickly gained a reputation for being the ultimate aerobatic mount in pre-WW-II Europe and its two-place predeshycessor the Jungmann was also recognized as an excellent training ship for military pishylots The Spanish must have been quite taken by the type - according to the book Die Biicker-Flugzeuhe authored by Erwin Konig and published in 1987 about 1 00 of

The Jungmann design incorporates these small half-doors which allow the pilot and student (or passenger) to exit and enter the cockpit easily The front pit has minimal instrumentation and a small crash pad mounted in the center Larry and Vic installed slightly oversize windshields for pilot and passenger comfort Those of us six feet tall appreciate the effort

18 MARCH 1999

The many lakes around Lakeland FL provide a blue backdrop on a sunny morning during the annual Sun n Fun EAA Fly-In Larry Gronski banks the CASA 1131 showing off the beautiful work done on the covering and paintwork of the Gronski family Jungmann The yellow markshyings on the wings rudder and nose denote a low-flying aircraft to the German gunners makshying it clear they were not to shoot it down in the heat of battle

the 131 type were imported from Gershymany before CASA started to built them after an agreement was made with Blicker Flugzeugbau (so does the Profile No 222) The Putnam book Aircraft of The Spanish Civil War 1936-1939 puts the import number at 50 encompassing Serial Nos 33-1 through 33-50 Of course while the Jungmann is certainly a great aircraft you ve got to keep in mind that the choice may have been helped by the amount of influence the German govshyernment had within the Spanish Nationalist government in the days beshyfore and during the Spanish Civil War ( 1936-1939)

The mainstay of the primary trainshying commands for a couple of neutral European nations and of the Axis powers in WW-II the Jungmann flew on after the war serving as initial mounts for both military students in Spain Czechoslovakia and Switzershy

land until well into the 1960s The Spanish Air Force kept their Jungshymanns for quite some time as well finally selling them in the early 1970s (The Spanish military pilots stubshybornly refused to give the airplanes up) To this day there are many who consider the Jungmann the perfect aershyobatic trainer Both Blickers have enjoyed an excellent reputation here in the States and have long been sought as prize aircraft meant to be enjoyed like a fine wine with a good meal

Jose Martin had a brother in Spain who had a connection with the authorishyties and he was able to import a large number of the the Blickers into the USA where they were stored in at least eight different hangars Vic Gronshyski of Live Oak FL really wanted one of those Jungmanns but he had a small problem - he didnt have the cash to pony up for a complete airplane What he did have was restoration talent

The Spanish-built ENMA Tigre engine G-IV-A of 125 hp is expertly installed under an original sheet metal cowl

and between he and his son Larry (EAA 23264 V AA 6513) they struck a deal with Jose They would first reshystore an entire Jungmann up through fabric for Jose

In return they could pick through the eight hangars full of parts and pieces to put together an entire CASA 1 131 for themselve s The deal was struck in the late 1970s and Vic and Larry worked on the first proshyject as fast as they could but for both the airplane they built up for Jose Marshytin and their own Jungmann it was slow going at times Larry was a career Navy man serving as a crew member on Lockheed P2Vs Grumman S2

Trackers and Lockheed P3 Orions A pilot since 1963 Larry had headed off to Emshybry-Riddle for an education on his then-intended career path only to be interrupted by a request from Uncle Sam His number came up and rather than get drafted into the Army he volshyunteered for the Navy

Larry joked that parts of their Jungshymann a CASA machine built in late 1954-early 1953 have more flying time in various Navy aircraft than they do as a complete airplane due to the Navy moving him around from base to base Still they managed to keep at it

The aft cockpit is appointed with just what you need for light aerobatics and VFR fun On the far right with the markings M-1 Mshy2 etc is the magneto switch The rest of the gauges are self explanatory with the excepshytion of the metric altimeter mounted at center right The tachometer is mounted on the outside of the front cockpit (inset) makshying it easy to glance at while on final approach

ational vehicle They were lookjng for an airpark to settle on and on a trip to EAA Oshkosh they found the property in Florida they were looking for in Live Oak FL Settling in Larry later joined them on the airpark on an adshyjoining two acres Now working for the state of Florida Larry was able to make the final push to complete the CASA with his dad

Having the pick of the litter of CASA parts which had been stored in the Spanish desert as complete airplanes or spares meant that much of the work that needed to be done was cosshymetic in nature but both Larry and Vic were quick to point out there was plenty to inspect and renew The steel tube fuselage was grit-blasted down to bare metal and then primed with polyurethane enamel The fabshyric is Ceconite with a Air Tech finish

The choice of color scheme was given quite a bit of thought and since the Bli 131 was proshyduced and exported in so many countries the choices were nushymerous Looking for something

The Green Heart Squadron 81JG S4 Grunherz used aBO 131 as the communications airplane and squadron hack during 1942 while based on the eastern front during WoN-II

unusual Vic spotted a picture in Proshyfile 222 and decided on the markings for a Jungmann serving in unusual duty in the German Luftwaffe In the interest of maintaining the paint as long as possible they chose to keep the final finish glossy as opposed to the flat finish used during the war years The colors picked were originally on a Bli 131 D being kept by Luftwaffe fighter squadron 8JGS4 Grunherz (Green Heart) based on the eastern front in 1942 Used as communications aircraft and squadron hack it was kept in camouflage colors

Also beautifully maintained and reshystored is the Spanish-built Tigre engine originally used on the CASA airshyplanes The entire airplane shines with beautiful craftsmanship and the engine compartment is a real showpiece with neatly wrapped clamps and ties evishydent and a spotless finish to each of the components

It took almost IS years to complete the widely traveled project one they completed in 1995 Theyve enjoyed the visits of many folks who recall the reputation of the Jungmann Some reshycall even more than that noting the markings on the airplane and the bitshytersweet memories of that time One visitor at the Sun n Fun EAA Fly-In Eric stood by the airplane for a long time recalling the four and a half hours of training he received in a Jungmann before he was sent to the front to fly an Me 109 Vic pointed out that he couldnt change history but he certainly could show younger generations what existed back in those turbulent days both good and bad Their beautiful work rebuilding their CASA 1131 to depict a Luftwaffe aircraft brings to life an extraordinary time in our history

Trivla Question

What country produced the largest number of licenseshybuilt Jungmanns

answer on page 33

1985 - Three and a half-year-old Scott flashshyes a thunbs up before flying with his dad Brad in the family Stearman

As we come to our first tum point just south of Sacramento the sectional in use must be unfolded and reversed which any open cockpit flyer knows is no easy task Dad Im going to flip the map now About two seconds later half of Scotts chart inflates like a WW -II parashychute and sails over the tail to become a permanent part of the landscape Ill keep the remaining half as long as I live

There are many other lifelong memoshyries of the trip Images of rows and rows of southern California windmills circling over the mile wide meteor crater in Arizona lousy food flying through the pass at Albuquerque and the many many miles of flat landscape east of the Rocky Mountains The most important memory however is the hours and days spent with my son flying in an ancient airplane at 100 miles an hour over this great country

N39WR was initially based at West Memphis Airport which is just west of the Mississippi River and the city of Memphis but was soon moved to her curshyrent home at Olive Branch Airport in Mississippi The Stearman never missed a beat throughout the many California banner towing hours and the trip west

November 22 1998 A beautiful warm fall afternoon greets the Memphis area and Scott and I hustle out to Olive Branch Airport after church It is his 16th birthday and we have been working towards this day almost all of his life After three takeoffs and landings I let Scott solo and old N39WR introduced

realm of emotions At first I was nervous worried that I had not taught him all the inshytricacies of the big biplane Would he reshymember to keep the aileron into the crossshywind throughout the flare or to clear the enshygine on final Only after his first landing did I reflect on all that had gone before and all that now must come to pass I knew then that if he has the passion he could litershyally take this profession to the stars The choice is his but he has taken the first step There is no greater way to honor a father than for his son to make him proud Scott is a boy no longer

The next day Scott and I drove to the loshycal DMV and he passed his driving test

Sounds sort of si Ily doesnt it But thats whats happened to this old Buck I didnt realize that was the case untill just picked up the JanushyaryFebruary issue of FAA Aviation News On the last page inside the back cover to be exact Phyllis Anne Duncan FAA AV News Editors Runway columnist reiterated some advice from a 30 year-old editorial by a long retired FAA Accident Prevenshytion Specialist

His one statement she capitalized on was Look to the future thats where youll spend the rest of your life That sort of dislodged the mental block Ive been using to resist the computer age Well maybe not completely dislodged but it certainly nudged it a little

Ive been resisting fighting avoidshying and using all sorts of devious ways to get around the compouter No I didnt misspell the word thats what happens whenever someone tells me has an E mail address and asks what mine is I pout

Seems like everyone I come in conshytact with has E mail addresses and the standard reply when I say Im illiterate is something like Well gee you oughta get into it its soooo easy and convenient and fast

The crowing precipice pusher was at

a recent Rules meeting at FAA There I learned that the Alerts bulletin would no longer be a postal hard copy that it would be on the internet I screamed This is one of the prime Service publishycations that tips off AampPs and lAs of trends or problems from the field What about us illiterates I hollered The reply was even more disconcerting Go to your local library Theyll have access to the internet and theyll get it up for you

That shut me up for a moment while I pondered the logistics of doing the 14 mile round robin from the super boonies here to town to get information that used to be delivered to the door It cershytainly didn t do anything for my peace of mind thats for sure

I never did go to the library but I did talk to some friends who have tried this track They were not very happy The locals (I use that word because] guess seven miles one way is local in some peoples minds) and they were not at all happy about having to wait in line where the one underpaid overworked librarian would try to acshycommodate them

Now I must confess I have a comshyputer I bought it about six months ago from another illiterate who bought it new and then like me was so baffled

and confused and enraged that he just stared at the thing in abject hatred while trying to think of some way to get reshyvenge ] found out how to turn it on but believe me (and laugh if you must) I couldnt figure out how to turn the blasted think OFF My four-year-old granddaughter fmally turned it off when I wasnt looking

I bought the Dummies book It was right I am a Dummy It didnt tell me anything that wasnt even more confusshying and maddening

Number three daughter came home for Christmas and showed me how to Off and On and how to access the games programs So I spend a lot of time playing solitaire and Free Cell She gave me a WW-I game that I still cant figure out and went back home More frustration

Complaining about all this did one thing A local wrench here in town has a son who set him up with his computer and he had nothing but praise for how easy it was what an asshyset it is and how much it helps him correspond with his fellow Wrenches in so lving automobile idiosyncrasies they all experience I find out there are all kinds of automoshybile technicians on the net

I asked if I could get some dual in-

VINTAGE AIRPLANE 25

struction I got it And Im more conshyfused than ever I got some more and his son remarked to dad after one sesshysion that he co uldn t understand the rage working with the computer that 1 exhibited I actually lay in bed at night trying to figure out how I can take revenge on this electronic torture device 1 dream of icons and engines and trying to understand the terminolshyogy and experience more anger than when my teenager came home with the dented fender

I sit at the thing for hours trying to figure out what I did to erase the whole dad blamed letter I just wrote and I lashyboriously tried to understand Fonts and all the rest of the garbage

I m on line but I have trouble acshycessing my mail I haven t figured out yet how to even send But I m now signed up for formal lessons and maybe just maybe there is a glimmer of hope that thinking like that editorial says I ll be living in the future

ANTIQUE EXHAUST - Polished Stainless Radials - our specialty 34 Engines in-house for correct fit Aircraft Exhaust Systems Inc 800-227-5951 Fax 304-466-0802

- From page 16shy

Nosing around Dennis Trones hangar one day Tom realized why the gas tank that had been welded up wouldnt fit - the parts were all right but welded up in the wrong configuration When a temeplate gas tank was used as a pattern for the Eaglerocks tank the first welder had mistakenly put the pieces together 90 degrees out of whack Seeing Dennys tank helped vishysualize the correct configuration and it was soon welded up from stainless steel in no time

All sorts of little details had to be reshypaired or replaced from the Pioneer position lights to the Pyrene fire extinshyguisher mounted in a bracket between the pilots legs in the cockpit An accushyrate instrument panel has the beautifully reworked Consolidated cluster in the center flanked by a pair or US Navy inclinometers and an original BendixshyScintilla magneto switch

Joe had been able to do some of the Wright J-5 engine work in his shop beshyfore he retired from the business and the rest was completed after the project was brought to Toms shop Don Mc-

Makin (EAA 6220 V AA 3396) of Rockton IL was given the engine restoration job and only four days afshyter delivering it to Toms shop it was running on the front of the Eaglerock

Other antiquers who helped Tom and Joe finish the restoration included Kent McMakin (EAA 74379 VAA 208) Forrest Lovley (EAA 19414 VAA 3136) and Ted Davis (EAA 224271 V AA 19429) who correctly welded up the fuel tanks

Capping off the installation of the Wright was the bolting on of an origishynal Hamilton-Standard 108 prop one that had been on Joes wall for many years I always knew Id need it someshyday he quipped when we interviewed him at EAA AirVenture 98 Dick Weeden helped with the prop making certain it was in good shape

The tail surfaces were all completely replaced because as Tom points out They looked like they had taken out a few fence posts in their lifetime and the elevator had suffered a compresshysion failure from dragging on the ground at one point

All of the nose sheet metal had to

have the multiple louvers punched in them so Tom built a die to set each of the louvers in the panel and began creshyating a beautiful set of louvered sheet metal The decade and a half of project hang-fire time was rapidly coming to a close as Tom set his sights on having the Eaglerock done in 1998

Each of the details that make a champion level restoration seem to come quite naturally to Tom Brown (remember Art Knowles Command Aire a couple of years ago) and once again after some very close judging during EAA AirVenture 98 there was an unprecedented tie for the Reserve Grand Champion position Joe Koller s project so long in the making was picked as one of the three() Reserve Grand Champion Antiques of EAA AirVenture 98

Tom Hegys suggestion to have Tom Brown finish the restoration has certainly been appreciated by Jo e Koller who now after many years of his own work can fly one of early avishyations prettiest biplanes thanks to the work of a talented craftsman from censhytral Wisconsin

-Stinson continued from page 8shy

main parachute Pioneer Parachute Company provided parachutes and a fie ld engineer Wi ll iam G Jolly The main parachute used to lower the Stinson fuselage with pi lot and passhysengers was a 64 foot conical canopy orange in color made of 11 nylon It used regular 550 type suspension cords that did not go through the canopy channels A pilot chute was used to help dep loy the main parashychute Each wing was equipped with a smaller parachute

With the Stinson 108 Voyager suitshyably modified a full scale live test was scheduled Lakehurst Naval Air Stashytion in New Jersey was arranged as the site of the test Test pilot Tommy Walker 52 at the time was an experishyenced pilot and skydiver Takeoff from Lakehurst was about lOAM on November 9 1967 Strong winds delayed the test while Walker flew the Stinson At 1238 PM while cruising at 4600 feet Walker actishyvated the apparatus

Both wings separated cleanly howshyever the small parachutes in each wing tangled and did not deploy correctly Both wings crashed to the ground

The fuselage parachute opened pershyfectly only a moment after the wings separated Stinson Voyager serial number 13 minus wings then began its parachute descent to the ground Test pilot Walker remained with the airplane recording data about the deshyscent About 1000 feet above ground level Walker parachuted out of the Stinson Interestingly Walker using a standard 28 foot P9B emergency parachute was descending faster than the Stinson Minus wings the Stinshyson fuselage weighed about 1200 pounds Both airplane and test pilot landed safely Rate of decent of the airshyplane with parachute deployed was about 18 feet per second

The test was witnessed by the FAA the Navy and several news agencies using some 8 helicopters to cover the event As far as I can tell only a single full scale test was carried out and it was successful Rumors are a second Stinson 108 was also modified but never tested

When it was new Consolidated used NC39443 as a factory demonstrator Afshyter the November 1967 test the plane was stored in derelict condition During 1996 this airplane was completely restored and now flies again Owner Ed Katzen fl ies from Bayport Aerodrome (N23) on Long

VINTAGE AIRPLANE 33

Time and again I hear from our memshybers about their concern for the future of aviation and recreational aviation is ofshyten foremost in their thoughts Where is it going Who will be our future memshybers How can we get young people involved EAA and the Vintage Aircraft Association have been working on those issues for many years but recently weve kicked it up a notch or two

Many V AA members have been acshytively involved in part of that process and a great number of the nearly 500000 Young Eagles who have been registered so far were flown by pilots from within the V AA ranks Flying Cessna 120s and 140s Cubs Champs and so many others these youngsters were given the gift of flight and many came away with dreams and goals to guide their lifes path

Every year youngsters have come to Oshkosh to participate in the longest runshyning aviation youth camp in existence the EAA Air Academy But what else can we do And how do we do it A multi-faceted approach to that challenge is being fonnulated by EAA and we re proud to be a part of it In surveys and conversations with EAA and Division members expanding youth initiatives is right at the top of their wish list

Giving the youngsters a next step after their exposure to the world of aviashytion is important since for many of them running down to the local airport to just watch airplanes requires peering through an unfriendly 12 foot high chain-link fence Bringing aviation into the classshyroom with math and science curricula will be one area we can bring the excite-

ment of aircraft into the mainstream of education Website improvements and additions will also help lead the way as will programs for museums and youth groups There are even plans for proshygrams that can be hosted by local EAA and V AA Chapters

All of this work including the ongoshying Young Eagles Program is bound together under the Vision Of Eagles banshyner Educating and motivating youngsters in a way that will give their lives direction and purpose will benefit society as a whole and help keep the world of aviation available to a wide range of people

Soon youll receive an information packet about the Vision of Eagles initiashytives and an invitation to join in a $5 million fund raising campaign called Campaign For Kids Weve put together a blue ribbon panel of spokespeople from the worlds of education and sport aviashytion to get the word out They are Vanderbilt University Chancellor Joe Wyatt noted aircraft designer Burt Rushytan aerobatic champion Patty Wagstaff airshow performer Sean Tucker and homebuilder and fonner astronaut Robert L Hoot Gibson

The horsepower of such of group of leaders demonstrates the high level of commitment EAA has for this program a program that will have its impact for decades to come Thanks to many local leaders grass roots efforts have been underway to add value to youth aviashy

tion experiences Now its time to put our combined

weight into such an effort and give young people the chance so many of them need to get started Many of us can point to a specific person or event that was the catalyst for your career in aviashytion With your help we can continue to nurture the fragi Ie dreams and hopes youngsters have about their future

The Vision of Eagles Campaign for Kids will place $2 5 million into proshygrams such as Young Eagles and local Chapter programs to reach out to young people It will also be used to complete the EAA Flight Leadership Center a 22000 sq ft addition to the EAA Air

Adventure Museum which will be comshypleted in time for dedication during EAA AirVenture 99 The Leadership Center contains both classrooms and a spectacular interactive display called Hangar X

Within the concept of the Leadership Center the programs to reach out to schools chapters and others interested in helping kids scale the airport fence (figuratively speaking) will be worked upon and sent out to support efforts by Chapters youth organizations and other aviation museums Expanded youth proshygrams within EAA and the new 53 bed 10600 sq ft Air Academy Lodge will also be part of this expanded initiative

Programs such as the Vision of Eashygles initiatives are administered by the EAA Aviation Foundation whose leadshyership is quite excited to be given the expanded opportunities the Campaign for Kids encompasses

These programs are supported solely by your charitable contributions - your membership dues do not support the Foundation and each dollar you can send will be split between the outreach programs and an endowment to g ive long tenn financial support to the Vision Of Eagles Please review the material you receive and give it careful considerashytion The extraordinary opportunity we all have to impact young peoples lives in a positive way will pay dividends for decades to come

Its like planting a tree - your grandshyfather may never have lived long enough to enjoy the shade of that oak in his back yard but generations later youngsters can cool down in the summer under its broad branches and flop into its leaves in the fall Lets plant a tree for aviation and give it the nourishment it needs to grow and thrive Join us in the EAA Campaign for Kids and help ensure there will be enthusiastic owners of our beautishyful Antique Classic and Contemporary airplanes for many years to come

Its been a month now since youve received your February issue of Vintage Airplane with its announcement of our
