Sun 'n Fun '82 is now history, but it will long remain in the memories of those who attended. The weatherwas outstanding, would you believe the low 80s to thelow 90s, with little or no wind Thanks to a new building sponsored by the Florida Sport Aviation Antique& Classic Association, members and their guests weretreated to a relaxing atmosphere complete with freshiced te a , exhibits and a large front porch with dualswings. At no time did we observe any wasted spaceon either swing Funds donated thus far allowed theAssociation to complete the basic structure of this newfacility and future donations will fund the completionof the interior.The OX-5 Aviation Pioneers have also completedtheir permanent building on the Sun 'n Fun groundsand their warm hospitality surrounds the nostalgicmeeting of men and women who made our aviationhistory. When attending the 1983 Sun 'n Fun Fly-In,be su re to stop by the OX-5 building. Many rare photographs and artifacts are available for browsing andyou will never regret the opportunity.Attendance of antique and classic aircraft was aboutthe same as at the 1981 Fly-In. Weather in the southeast states improved dramatically during the last ofthe week which helped the attendance situation. Theaward winners will be reported in the June issue ofVINTAGE. Fly-bys were a daily event and participa-tion in the Antique and Classic Parade of Flight waseffective with representation of each of the age groupspresent. Balloon enthusiasts and photographers had afield day near the end of the week when about twentyhot air balloons began a flight about 8:30 a.m. from

The Officers and Directors unanimously voted toaccept the appointment of Roy Redman, Kilkenny, MNas an Advisor to the Division Board. Roy is a dedicatedantiquer and his restoration work is outstanding. Hisacceptance will enhance the Division and the attain-ment of its goals. Welcome aboard, Roy.The VINTAGE AIRPLANE continues to become apublication where aviation history is compiled andprinted for our members. The efforts of the contributorsare greatly appreciated and we hope that articles continue to come in . How many times have we found itwas "too late to recognize someone, or to compile bitsof aviation history that should have been researched,written and published? We must continue to visit withthe aviation pioneers who are still with us , and recordtheir stories, many of which have never been in print.Significant bits of history will be lost forever if wewait for "someone else" to do it.

n addition to historic material, we want to continueto include coverage of items of current interest. Thestaff of The VINTAGE AIRPLANE cannot cover everyfly-in as has been explained in the past, so our coverage of these events must come from the volunteer contributions of our members . The ratio of antique air-craft to classics is probably about 1 to 7 but the ratioof stories concerning the restoration of these planes isjust the opposite. We are woefully short on restorationarticles Iphotos on classic aircraft. Please don't be bashful tell us about your classic projects.

EARLY HISTORY OF

From U.S. AIR SERVICE, July, 1920By Russell A. FelgateLate of Aeronautic Inspection Department,British Air Ministry

Editor's Note: According t the first paragraph in thefollowing article, the word "Dope" appeared in sensa-tional headlines over sixty years ago . Nothing haschanged, although today the word also has anothercompletely different connotation. This article wasoriginally titled Wing Dope From Historic, TechnicalSide and is an interesting account of the aviator'searly attempts to waterproof the fabric of their air-craft

The word Dope has recently been so conspicuousin sensational headlines that it is probable that manypersons are not aware that the word has a real significancein descr ibing a material used in the construction ofairplanes. The following notes on Aeronautical Dopemay therefore be of interest:'The problem of flight in the early days of aviationand one which perplexed would-be aviators to a greatdegree, was that of furnishing a covering to the wingsor lifting surfaces of their machines. Of necessity thesewings must have lightness and strength together in agreater degree than had ever been secured with anycombination of materials for any known purpose.The earliest wings, and indeed those of today, wereconstructed from light wooden spars and small woodencomponents linked together with strong wires, a pieceof work more reminiscent of the piano-makers' art thanof engineering.These structures were covered with materials in asomewhat vain endeavor to render the whole wing impermeable to the air and to produce a clean surfacewhich would facilitate the constructor's efforts to obtainstreamline.Of the many materials which suggested themselvesfor this purpose brown paper seemed to offer mostprobabilities and was almost generally adopted in

varied from flour paste on the one hand to glue andsimilar compounds on the other.

t was found difficult to obtain both tautness andwaterproofness at the same time. Thus rubber-proofedcotton fabric of much the same type as that now usedfor balloons and airships was tried; but while beingquite waterproof it lacked the necessary tauteningproperties and was quickly decomposed by the hotlubricating oil splashed from the engine. Oil-proofedfabric was no more successful.

At this time it occurred to a French art studentnamed Voisin that the starch paste which he was in thehabit of using for tautening the canvas on which hepainted, would probably make a good airplane dope. Thissuggestion aroused a good deal of interest among aviatorsand a number of experiments were carried ou t. t wasfound that the maximum tautness was obtained duringthe drying of the paste, and that those aviators who usedthis paste had to apply it to their machines a few minutesbefore they purposed to begin their flights and then oup while the wings were still wet. This starch dope was,however, soon abandoned because the tautness of wingscovered with it varied so greatly with the weather.

Gelatine solutions were also used but were discardedowing to the fact that the substance was partly solublein water. t is reported that Delagrange who flew inFrance in 1909, met his death through flying a machinedoped with gelatine solution. While in the air he wascaught in a shower of rain the gelatine on the wingswas immediately softened, the wings crumpled up and themachine crashed .The next step was doping cotton fabric with glue sizeand then varnishing. Casein softeners were also tried.These dopes were discarded, however, owing to the factthat their films became brittle within a short space oftime and the tautness of the wings was quite variable.A collodian solution was then suggested and, as aresult of many experiments it was found that thisconstituted a better dope than any that had been triedbefore. Considerable anxiety was however, expressedas to the inflammability of the celluloid film and thematter was for a time allowed to drop.

The next step was the foundation of the present-daydope. Cellulose acetate solutions were proposed. There

webs between all ribs that handle the normal loads ofdrag and anti-drag wires. Mass balanced ailerons areemployed on all four wing panels and are operated bytorque tubes. Interplane struts are welded streamlinetube as are the cabane struts. Cross bracing between thewings consists of sets of7 x 19 Mac Whyte stainless cablesusing swaged fittings on the ends. An additional "antidrift" cable is attached between the engine cowl and lower"V fitting outboard on the wing. (The anti-drift cableswere installed on the original D IV to keep things inline during very high speed power dives )Forward of the firewall is the area that separatesthe men from the boys. Carl has literally had to becomean expert on rotary engines in order to gain a reliablepower plant that was basically similar to the originalSiemens & Halske rotary. Using a French built Gnome9 cylinder "Monosoupape" of 160 horsepower, he hascreated a facsimile of the D IV right down to the noisysounds of a rotary engine with regulated engine speedby ignition selector switch instead of fuel. Dual ignitionis featured on the Gnome engine, the left mag is "blipped"on and ofT by a blip button on the control stick. The rightmagneto can be set at V power, J 4 power, 'h power orfull power. The fractional settings cut out alternatingcylinders to reduce power for starting, taxiing, gliding,etc. Remember that the entire engine whirls aroundand the crankshaft is bolted to the firewall. The 9'ash propeller is bolted to the crankcase and turns withthe engine. Needless to say, large amounts of torqueare generated by this whirling mass of engine at a maximum rpm of 1250.The or iginal 1918 SSW D IV used a 160-240hp SiemensHalske engine that ran two ways at once to produce1800 rpm The engine ran clockwise at 900 rpm whilethe propeller ran 900 rpm in a counterclockwise direction.The idea was that the contra-rotating masses wouldcancel each other. t must not have been perfect as theoriginal fin was built with a non-symetrical airfoil andthe left wings were four inches longer than the right tooffset torque This complicated engine swung a four-bladepropeller of 12'2" pitch and 9' diameter The extra weightof the 11 cylinder engine required a support bearing atthe front of the engine - hence the "spider" which hasbeen faithfully reproduced on the replica.Sporting a beautifully formed aluminum cow l and aspun aluminum spinner, the D IV replica has that almostbrute power look to it. The dual Spandau machine gunson top of the forward fuselage accent the authenticity.It is evident that Carl has done his homework on thepaint job as it truly portrays the D IV as it looked in 1918.One of the most famous pilots to fly the SiemensSchuckert in actual combat was Obltn. Ernst Udet,Staffelfuhrer of Jagstaffel 4, and later to become recognized as a very famous German aviator. When theSiemens machines were handed over to the Allies afterthe Armistice, the first three Allied pilots to fly them

Factory records show many combinations of th is paint schemeon Wacos built from 1931 thru 1935. Example: A Black airp laneused Red panels on the top side of upper wings and on thebottom side of the lower wings, with numbers In Cream.Another example was a Red fuselage with Black & Gold stripe,Cream wings with Red panels using Black numbers. Numberswere usually 24 Inches In height. On all Wacos built In 1930or later numbers on rudder should be five Inches In height,located horizontally with the NC above the number.

A happy Phil Mlchmerhulzen and the newly restored J 2 Cub. ~

OUT OF THE BARN ANDy Phil MichmerhuizenE 33782, le 8 )186 Sunset DriveHolland MI 49423

Photos by the uthor except s noted)I started to advertise and look for Piper J-2 Cub

parts in 1970. Soon I had acquired a bare fuselage withnothing inside, a rather sad set of wings and a 40hpengine. I cleaned and painted the fuselage, but nowwhat I had no idea of how the floorboards , seats, rudders,and the control stricks went. An unairworthy fuselagewas advertised in Oklahoma. After it was shipped toMichigan, I at least had rudder pedals, control sticksand a door.

Then I received a call from a friend in another state.He remembered seeing old airplane parts in a barn severalyears ago. He said he'd show me the barn, so I could talkto the farmer.

tractors, trucks, a spinning wheel, old baby buggy, andon and on.After supper we went back to the farmer s house;he had had a chance to talk with his children and tothink it over . Finally , we agreed on a price. I couldbuy all the "yellow" airplane parts that were in thebarns. He asked us to come back in the morning and hisson would help us load the parts.

Donna and I went to a motel for the night. Afterbreakfast the next day we had to go to the bank; thefarmer wanted cash. We then went to a store to getsome cardboard boxes. I was so afraid he might changehis mind. When we pulled up with our truck he hoppedup in the cab and away we went to the fIrst barn andstarted loading. Eight dusty, sweaty hours later ourload consisted of a 1936 J-2 fuselage, a '39 J-3 fuselage,a Continental 40hp engine, a Franklin 50, three smashedwings, many bent struts, bent and twisted landing gears(one set with 18 x 8 x 3 Goodyear airwheels) , tail feathers,

primed outside.I took a large cardboard refrigerator box and made asmall sandblaster in the basement to handle the smallparts. With a light in the top, vactium hose in the side,plexiglass on one side and two arm holes, it worked justfine. Using the old floor boards and seats as patterns,it was no problem making them.We took the Continental A-40 to Bob Thompson(also known as "Mr. A-40"), in Dayton, Ohio, for anoverhaul. On our way back home after picking up theengine in June, 1977, we stopped at the farmer's placeto show him the pretty little A-40. He asked i we had aprop for it. We didn't. Five minutes later he came outof the house with two One was not airworthy, but theother had been reconditioned at the Anderson Prop Co.and was still boxed and wrapped in 1949 newspapersIn February, 1978 the airframe rolled out of thebasement garage door on the Goodyear 18 x 8 x 3 airwheels, with engine and prop installed. After tying thetail down the little engine started quite easily and Ihad a smile from ear to ear.Only wing rebuilding and covering remained; almostdone Ha ha ter removing the fabric, I kept one '36wing intact for a pattern. I took five others apart toget at the good ribs and steel fittings I needed.

The wings really were in sad shape. Besides a landingaccident (tree or pole), a concrete block hangar had fallenon themFinally the ribs were sorted out and repaired, butI was still concerned with corrosion. Donna and I wentto EAA Headquarters where I talked with Mr. Bill Chomoabout it . I followed his recommendation: scrub the ribswith a stainless steel wire brush and phosphoric acid,rinse and then apply zinc chromate.The new spars , new drag wires and bolts arrivedand I started to re-assemble the wings. With help, thewings were bolted to the fuselage for alignment and squaring up .I had decided earlier to restore the J-2 as close tooriginal as I could. The old control cable had some ofthe original Roebling roll splices at the ends and alsosome nicropress and someone's attempt at a 5-tucknavy splice. Oh those Roebling roll splices looked soneat I had already done the wire wrap and solder onthe tail brace wires. I tried the splices and anguishedover the results. At first they looked like spiders Slowlythey did improve. John Emmons said they looked O.K.,but to be sure I did a 10" sample with new cable and hadit tested in a lab. At 2,300 lbs. it broke in between thesplices Soon the control cables were fmished.One big decision was yet to be made - the fabric.Original of course wag grade A. New fabrics arelighter, easier, better. Maybe at Oshkosh I could decide.Pros - cons, good, bad, everyone had his preference. Ifinally settled on the Stits process for several reasons.

certificate to our local GADO office . On August 25,1981 Mr . Noel Gary from the FAA handed me thisimportant piece of paper. The weather was good thatday but I waited one more day and on August 26 ,1981 our airplane flew for the first time in about 30years. t was exactly 45 years after it rolled out ofthe Taylor Aircraft Company in Bradford, Pennsylvania.The airplane now has 18:30 hours on it. The only problemhas been the windshield. I used material which was toothin and flexible . t certainly is fun to fly. t landsvery slowly and I enjoy flying it with the tail skid.I could not have done this restoration alone. Mythanks go to John Emmons , the l l Bob Thompson,and to members of our EAA Chapter 211 - especiallyGord Meeusen who hammered out a new nose bowl anddid all of the aluminum work. I also want to recognizemy friends Dick Hill, Garth Elliot, Ed Kastner, JimHays and Howard Brandon who provided informationwhich was instrumental in making the restoration soauthentic .As shown on the original ledger sheet from the TaylorAircraft Company the empty weight of our J -2 was553 pounds. As hard as I tried to keep weight downwherever possible, the empty weight of our restored planecame to 591 pounds. Interestingly enough, the quotedempty weight of the plane as it left the factory, plusthe weight of the following components as shown on acompany Weight and Balance report 139 dated November8, 1937) comes out like this:E W. 5531bs.Prop 8Wheels 5Tires 15Skid 31 Gal.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOREditor's Note: Ted Koston forwarded the following letterfrom Mike Rezich which corrects a misstatement in Ted's22nd Annual Waco Reunion story in the January 1982issue of The VINTAGE AIRPLANE. Mike also suppliesadditional information on the subject Waco eRG whichwe find to be most interesting:Dear Ted,I saw your beautiful spread in Th e VINTAGE AIR-PLANE on the Waco Fly-In. I regret that I missed theevent.To straighten you out on Waco CRG, N600Y . itwas originally built for the Ford Reliability Tour aswas its sister ship, NR660Y. NR600Y was flown by JohnLivingston and NR660Y was flown by Art Davis.Both planes were built especially for the tour. Youwill notice the landing gear vees and oleos are muchtaller than the standard Waco tripod gear. The reasonwas to lift off quicker during take-off which gave anadditional point advantage. NR600Y also had the supercharged Wright J6-7-El engine.You said it was the first aircraft to do smoke writingover New York City . not so This plane was boughtand operated by Andy Stinis, an old time smoke writerin the New York area . But the first smoke writer inAmerica was an Englishman named Dick Acherly with aHisso powered SE5. He had a contract with Chevrolet(and the secret for the smoke), and he wrote in script,not printLater Andy Stinis had a contract with LuckyStrike and he used the Waco CRG, NR600Y, a LairdLCR which formerly belonged to Alex Seversky , andseveral Speed wing Travel Airs.I bought our Speedwing NC606K from Andy in 1949.t was also used in the smoke writing program . Hisson is still in the business using five AT-6s.Regards,

This was the firstGee Bee Airplane and was first powered by a Velieengine . Different engines were installed and testedand the one pictured would be the Cirrus.

The series became known la ter as Model A. Theregistration number on this plane was 3086. No "NC"was included until production was started on these planes- after approval.One of these planes is currently owned by the Bradley

Near the beginning of the movie, Indiana Jones iscaptured by some unfriendly natives after stealing aprized artifact. He quickly escapes and runs to his friendwho is fishing off his plane. Jones with natives notmore than a second behind him , yells to his friend tostart the plane and start moving. With split secondtiming, Indiana Jones swings on a vine and lands nextto the plane. With spears coming from all directions,Jones hangs on for life as he and his friend make ahectic getaway to safety.

I was wondering if you knew of anyone over yourway who would be interested in buying them? I believethere are not very many Austers in the USA or Canada.I would be interested in selling them outright or perhapsswapping them for a good Aeronca Sedan, Cessna 170B,or perhaps a Cherokee 180 . . . preferably the Aeroncaor Cessna.

One day I hope to meet you at Oshkosh, or if you areover here, please feel free to call. Hope to hear from youin the near future.Yours sincerely,Barry Shelton7 Biloela Ct.Port MacQuarieN.S.W.2444Australia(Phone 065-831794 evenings)

WHY GEESE FLY IN FORM TION- From Al and Betty Nelson's "Bird Talk , Fall 1981.

There must be some advantages to formation flyingfor geese or they would not persist in it. There is agreat advantage, say California Institute of Technologyresearchers. As air leaves the wings of one bird itprovides an updraf t for the birds following it in formation.

The resulting energy saving increases the range ofgeese by 71 per cent.But because the lead bird has to work harder thanthe other birds following it in V formation, you willsee the lead bird drop back occasionally while anotherbird takes its place.Now, i f I apply this principle to cross country in myE-2 Cub, I should be able to fly non-stop from Milwaukeeto Bardstown, Kentucky .
