The May board meeting was held in Oshkosh on a Friday On Saturday sevshyeral board members and others spent the day working in the AntiqueClassic area They improved the judges headquarters and other areas that needed some help They work their hearts out during Conshyvention week and other times during the year and still they wanted to get together for a work party and some good fellowshyship Bob Lumley who is in the conshystruction business and understands how to get things accomplished was in charge of the work party and is a real hustler himself With him were Stan Gomall Dale Gustafson Bob Brauer Steve Nesse Judy Wyrembeck and Marshygaret Misdall Also Norm Petersen from the EAA editorial staff and our new adshyvisor Gene Chase were there to help It was really nice of these folks to pitch in My heartfelt thanks to all these people for their volunteer work 2 JULY 1989

STRAIGHT AND LEVEL EAA Oshkosh 89 is almost upon us

A couple more weeks and we will all be buzzing around Oshkosh The theme thi s year as everyone already knows is From Jennies to Jets Ken Hyde who will fly his Jenny from Virginia to Oshshykosh has been working with Tom Pobeshyrezny and others to have as many Jennies at the Convention as possible We think we have as many as seven individuals commitments to bring their aircraft with hope that well have as many as 10 Some of these aircraft will fly every day The other Jennies several from the West Coast will be transported by cargo van We have volunteers from a couple of EAA Chapters in the Oshkosh area to be on hand to help reassemble these aircraft once they are at Oshkosh It will be great to have all these Jennies together

Steve Nesse Chairman of the Antique Classic picnic has informed me that tickshyets will be on sale at AC Headquarters and should be purchased by 600 pm on Saturday Sunday is the day of our picnic and serving will begin approximately at 530 and run through 700 The Jenny pilots and crew will be present so that we may visit with them Our menu will be a pigpicking with smoked turkey

Joe Dickey said that we could expect to have as many as 14 type clubs repshyresented in the Type Club Tent this year If any other clubs want to participate call Joe or Julia at 812342-6878

Bob Brauer will be at his post at the membership and chapter information booth I would like to encourage all members of chapters and those interested in forming chapters to check by and visit with Bob He is doing a really good job with the chapters providing any assisshytance they need Do not hesitate to call on Bob if you have any questions

Art Morgan says the parking area is in excellent shape this year Oshkosh has had a good amount of rain this year the grass is green and hopefully we wont have the dust that we had last year Art has his parking crew together and they will be on site early

Kate Morgan at the AntiqueClassic Headquarters will have new merchandise to present this year I would like to enshycourage everyone to stop by and pick up your Jenny T-shirt We also will have your convention buttons on hand so stop by and see the ladies at HQ

Phil Coulson is expecting a good turnshyout for the Parade of Flight which will be held on Monday this year during the main airshow time slot You need to reshygister with Phil in advance in order to fly as we must limit the number of airshycraft due to the time allotment You must

be present at the briefing which will be held behind the AC Headquarters at 100 pm Monday

During the morning hours of the Conshyvention Charles Harris will be the host for the Interview Circle in front of the AntiqueClassic Headquarters Charlie will interview individuals about interestshying aircraft If you have not seen thi s Interview Circle you really need to stop by as it is informative and entertaining

In order to obtain a participant plaque with a picture of your aircraft you must check in at Main Registration Please be sure to put the proper row number on the registration form so that your aircraft can be located by Jack Copelands crew

Bob Lumley will be the host for the AntiqueClassic Fly-out Pre-registration for this event is not required All you need do is attend a briefing that will be held at the AntiqueClassic Headquarters at 700 am Tuesday In the past this event has been thoroughly enjoyed by all who participate It gives everyone a chance to get away from the field and enjoy some low-key fellowship

Our Riverboat Cruise is on Tuesday night at 700 pm Jeannie Hill is chairshyman of this activity and is selling adshyvance tickets There may also be some tickets left by Convention time If you have not bought your advance tickets look for Jeannie at AC Headquarters but I recommend that you contact her at 815943-7205 for your advance tickets

Please come by AntiqueClassic Headshyquarters and visit with us I would like to hear your feelings on the division and any suggestions you may have to imshyprove things I want to keep communicashytion going within the membership

For those of you who missed it be aware that this month July 1989 is the month that encoders are required to fly through and above TCAs and above 10000 feet msl We do not need to let up in voicing our opinions to the people in Washington at FAA and in Congress as to our freedom of flight We cannot let up on this for a minute

Now with the summer season here the local fly-ins and chapter activities have really picked up You can see by the calendar of events in different publicashytions that activity is at an all-time high These are the events that I really enjoy participating in I would like to encourshyage everyone to please be careful and have a good time I hope everyone enjoys EAA Oshkosh 89 as much as I know I will Remember From Jennies to Jets you will see it all this year Lets all pull together in one direction for the good of aviation Join us and have it all bull

Dear Mark The April issue of VINTAGE

AIRPLANE ran a letter and pictures of Marty Nelsons Cub (Members Proshyjects April) Something appears a litshytle off track here The letter described the Cub as a Piper-built machine with construction number 666 and having been built on June 22 1936 Here in Australia we have a Taylor Cub J-2 VH-UYT I have logged some time on this Cub and right in the centre of the panel is the makers plate giving the following details Taylor Aircraft ModelCub J-2 serial number 958 Date 112536 Engine Con A40-5 Taylor Aircraft Co Bradford PA If 4 JULY 1989

one is to believe the makers plate in Taylor J-2 Cub VH-UYT given its seshyrial number and construction date then Marty Nelsons J-2 Cub is in fact a Taylor-built J-2 Cub not a Piper-built machine as the history books record that Taylor came before Piper The Cub VH-UYT now sports a Continenshytal C75-12 but apart from that is stock complete with a tailskid

Yours faithfully David Prosser (EAA 318682 AIC 12714 Antique Airplane Association of Australia 579) Victoria Australia

Reader Prosser is correct Taylor Airshycraft did not change to Piper until late in 1937 Although CG Taylor and William T Piper were partners in Taylor Aircraft Co afire at the Bradshyford Pennsylvania factory forced a move to Lock Haven and Piper took control ofthe company shortly thereafshyter Marty Nelsons 1936 Cub has to be a Taylor Aircraft-built machine shyEdbull

These two photos of Bellanca Champion 7ACA N91651 SIN 27-71 were sent in by owner Rowland Hall of Northfield Illinois Built November 6 1971 the Champ was delivered to Napolean MI with a 60 hp Franklin two-cylinder engine From there it went to Holly MI where some 600 hours were logged before the Franklin was replaced with a Continental A65-8 from another Champ Sold to a seaplane outfit the owners soan discovered they could not install floats because of the spring gear They quickly sold the aircraft to Rowland Hall who has enjoyed the Champ ever since Entirely original except the engine the neat little two-placer has less than 1000 hours total and runs fine according to Rowland

VINTAGE AIRPLANE 7

During the decade of the Great Deshypression the streamlined form stood as an opimistic symbol of progress and efficiency Streamlining was not only applied to aircraft but also to cars trains and ships and replaced the angushylar forms of the 1920s The scientific principles adapted for these modern forms found their roots in the early 19th Century

THEORY The idea of streamlining dates back to 1804 with the publication of ESSAYS UPON THE MECHANIshyCAL PRINCIPLES OF AERIAL NAVIshyGATION by Sir George Cayley in which he described the ideal streamshylined body as applied to balloons He wrote I conceived the Bag or Balloon to be in a fonn approaching that of a very oblong spheroid - but varied acshycording to what may be found the true solid of least resistance in Air

In 1809 Cayley reported on his studies of streamlining as found in nashyture In one study he measured the girth of a trout at regular intervals and converted these figures to diameters From these figures he whittled a wooden spindle symmetrical about its axis He split the spindle lengthwise and wrote that each half would produce an ideal hull for a boat

In 1907 F W Lanchester set down the basic facts of the drag of an airplane in his book AERODYNAMICS He said the drag of a perfectly streamlined airplane should amount to no more than that caused by the friction of the air over its surface plus that which was needed to sustain it in the air This was counter to the opinions based on Samual Langleys belief that skin friction was negligible

Lanchesters arguments were skeptishycally received but were supported by Ludwig Prandtl of Germany Prandtl had presented his first paper on lift and drag in 1904 Both he and Lanchester pointed out that the flow of air close to a body would be either turbulent or

smooth (laminar) and that the drag would be far less if laminar flow was sustained Thus they set the scientific foundations for drag reduction and streamlining Though the basic theoretical work contributing the knowledge of drag and its reduction were set by 1904 it would be another quarter-century before serious attempts were made to use this theory in aircraft design

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS 1920 - The National Advisory

Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) in its annual report expressed its enshythusiasm for cantilever monoplanes The program of aerodynamical reshysearch is to be carried out with a view to the successful development of an airplane incorporating an internally braced wing structure in order to eliminate practically all the structural resistance a factor which greatly handshyicaps the performance of the present type of airplane

This research will supply data very much needed in the design of these new types of machines which beshycause of their structural permanencey their high load carrying capacity and their high maximum speed wiIl unshydoubtedly be the airplanes of the fu-Hire

Except for German glider designs and racing aircraft especially the Schneider Trophy aircraft not much progress was made in applying the principles of streamlining in the early 1920s

1927 - Lockheed demonstrated the value of streamlining for commercial aircraft with the appearance of the Vega The plywood monoplane deshysigned by Jack Northrop had a very

smooth full-monocoque fuselage and cantilever wing Though lacking an enshyclosed engine and having fixed landing gear it was about 35 mph faster than contemporary aircraft

1929 - Melville Jones of Camshybridge University presented a comshyparative study of induced drag and theoretical drag The paper published as The Streamlined Aeroplane proshyvided an easily understood and easily visualized estimate of what could be achieved by reducing drag He demonshystrated that large commercial aircraft were they ideally streamlined (could) either fly at the present top speed for one-third the present power or alternashytively travel some 60 mph faster for the same power

By giving designers a simple goal that they could calculate for themshyselves it encouraged designers to apply streamlining principles

1928 - H Townend of the British National Physical Laboratory pubshylished the results of experiments studyshying the effect of mounting a ring around a radial engine The result was a sharp drop in drag

1928 - NACA decided that the first use of its new large wind tunnel would be to test engine drag and the design of engine cowls The results were reshyported in NACA Reports No 313 and 314 DRAG AND COOLING WITH VARIOUS FORMS OF COWLING FOR A WRIGHT WHIRLWIND RADIAL AIR COOLED ENGINE Fred Weick in charge of the research showed that drag from the exposed enshygine cylinders amounted to one-third of the total drag of the entire fuselage and that completely enclosing a radial engine in a cowl would reduce drag more than the Townend ring without causing the engine to overheat

1929 - Lockheed Vegas fitted with NACA cowls showed a cruising speed increase of 30 mph

1930 - The appearance of two single-engine low-wing stressed-skin

8 JULY 1989

Buhl Sport Airsedan CA-3C The Marysville Michigan builders of the single-place Pup developed the Sport Airsedan in 1928 The sesqui-plane design with its high cruising speed was aimed at the sportsman flyer of the period just before the Great Depression when money was plentifill and life revolved around the rich and famous The Sport Airsedan cost $11000 in 1928 cash The engine was the Lindbergh-famous Wright J-5 and top speed was 134 mph with a cruise of 112 mph Wheel brakes inertia starter and metal propeller were standard Louis Meister flew a Sport Airsedan to 10th place in the 1928 National Air Tour competing with sueh illustrious aircraft as the Laird Speed wings and Waco Taperwings

BOBCATS COMMEMORATIVE FLIGHT One of the few remaining Cessna T -50s celebrates

the 50th Anniversary of the first flight of the

The Cessna Bobcats legitimate facshytory designation is T-50 The Air Corps called it the AT-8 AT-17 C-78 and the UC-78 [t was also known as the U seless-78 or the doubleshybreasted Cub by some less-than-affecshytionate pilots The Navy designation was JRC-I and the Canadians called the airplane the Crane It s most popular nickname however was Bamboo Bomber No matter what name it went by the airplane was probshyably best remembered as the first Songbird flown by actor Kirby Grant as Sky King on the popular Saturshyday-morning television series of the early 1950s (There were two Songbirds The later one was a Cessna 310 Both were owned by actor Grant - Ed)

Bamboo Bomber

Although a lot of wood was used in the construction of the Bobcat in realshyity there was of course no bamboo The name came from the stitches that were regularly spaced over the wing ribs to hold the fabric skin to the strucshyture The bumps along the surface gave the appearance that the ribs were made from bamboo

The Bobcat built in Wichita Kanshysas was Cessna s World War [[ conshytribution to pilot training Its first flight was on March 26 1939 piloted by Dwane Wallace then president of

by Dick and Jeannie Hill

Cessna Aircraft Company Clyde Cessna retired in 1936 and his nephew Wallace took over Besides its anticishypated military trainer role the Bobcat was designed with small airlines and executive transport in mind The first group of planes were sold for civilian use before the war started The airl ines bought some of those planes and sevshyeral went to the Department of Comshymerce for use by the CAA forerunner of the FAA

In their World War [[ primary trainshying pilots flew biplanes mostly Stearshymans and Wacos Basic training folshylowed in larger single-engine aircraft The Bobcat was used for twin-engine transition by pilots assigned to bomshybers and transports in their advanced training stage After completing this

third section pilots were awarded their wings By now they had accumulated about 200 hours flying time which is nearly the equivalent to the experience level of modem-day commercial pilots with instrument and multi-enshygine ratings

Cessna built more than 5000 Bobshycats After the war most of them went into the surplus airplane market where they became trainers air taxi s air cargo transports and some were even converted to air ambulances For the past 30 years Bobcats have become increasingly scarce Between 50 and 100 are actively flying with about the same number in the process of restorashytion The rest have succumbed to the ravages of time

Our particular Bobcat was almost new when declared surplus by the US Army Air Corps In 1945 it began its civilian flying as NC 51239 The logshybooks showed a total of 210 hours of military flight time It went to Flint Michigan many times and made trips as far as Lincoln Nebraska New York and New Orleans Louisiana During an extensive rebuild in 1951 the entry was made in the logbooks Installed Lycoming engines followed by the usual see form 337 for more infonnashytion This was when the Jacobs enshygines were removed and the R-680s inshystalled

From 1953 to 1956 the airplane was based in Hartford Connecticut with many trips logged in that area Then it went to Daytona Florida where it logshyged trips to the Bahamas Pennsylvania and Ohio In 1957 there was a busishyness trip to Fort Worth Texas In 1958 Gideon Missouri appeared in the logs as home base and several trips from there were entered Up through 1961 the airplane flew a lot of hours on a lot of trips but destinations and home bases were not recorded

December 1961 found the Cessna at Parks College near SI Louis where the airplane was to be relicensed Several years passed without any flight time showing in the logs The plane was used by the AampP school and received regular attention but did no flying

During this period the FAA regi sshytration paperwork was neglected On May 31 1975 the plane was re-regisshytered as N30L and sold It was moved to the Sioux City Iowa area On November II 1975 it was ferried to Dallas where it was flown extensively for training flights and made numerous visits to nearby destinations Entries

I became acquainted with thi s Bamshyboo Bomber in 1986 during the Anshytique Airplane Association Convention in Blakesburg Iowa While I watched a friend fly this airplane someone commented that it was for sale Thats all I needed to hear The wheels were in motion

I started flying Cubs in 1944 near the end of World War II I have always liked the Bobcat My first job was as

grease monkey and lineboy in Streator Illinois I went into the Marines in 1945 to walk in mud peel potatoes become a Link instructor and later a control tower operator Discharged after five years service I started gainshying flight ratings and then began flight instructing at Streator The operator of the airport had recently taken his multishyengine course in a Bamboo Bomber and wanted to use one in his flight school so he bought a T-50 that had suffered some fabric damage We went to the airport where the plane was tied

down and started to work Upon comshypletion of the repairs and an extensive preflight it was ready for the ferry flight home That was a lucky February 13th 1953 my first chance at the conshytrols of a Bamboo Bomber

The boss put me in the left seat for his first instruction flight and my first shot at the big time I flew it back to our home base and made several landshyings We decided to tear it down for a new fabric cover job and I helped from time to time but when I left a year or so later it was still apart I have no idea if it ever flew again

Three years passed before I had another opportunity to fly a Bobcat This time as the flight instructor in an instrument rating course After several hours of instructing I realized that without a multi-engine rating I was not qualified to give instruction I made an appointment with the CAA inspector and borrowed the airplane for the check ride I got the rating and over several years I flew many hours of inshystruction charter ambulance and air freight in Bobcats

Thirty years later I became inshy18 JULY 1989

terested in buying N30L And how apshypropriate Thirty Years to Thirty Lima (see VINTAGE AIRPLANE August 1987) What I didn t know was that my wife Jeannie had carried a 30-year crush on Sky King so we

Sky and Penny couldnt

have asked for more

had something else in common In March 1987 I went to Dallas to look at the plane I hoped to buy The owner called a local AI and the three of us went over and through the plane When it was licensed I went home to tell

Jeannie about my latest adventure and new-found affair

Before I said anything she had the truth pretty well figured out by the look on my face It was time for confessions and pleading When all was out in the open three barriers stood in the way of the new affair The price had to fit the purse the insurance had to fit what would be left in the purse and we had to have a hangar in which the Bamboo Bomber could live Thankfully all reshyquirements were met and in May 1987 the Bomber came home with us It was a beautiful six-hour flight from Texas to Illinois Sky and Penny couldnt have asked for more especially since Penny got to do most of the flying

The first fly-in we attended with the Bomber was shortly after we got it home We flew to St Louis to join the group of avid antique airplane enshythusiasts at Creve Coeur during their Antique Airplane Association fly-in The next big event was EAA Oshkosh 87 There the Bamboo Bomber gained a new identity at the Antique Classic fly-out As often happens through prudent planning on my part I had an all-female crew With the tum

of a phrase Jeannie renamed the Cessna the BIMBO BOMBER and it stuck After Oshkosh we attended the 1987 AAA Fly-in at Bartlesville Oklahoma and several other events nearer to home

The first flying for the Bobcat in 1988 was the trip to Lakeland Florida for EAA Sun n Fun In June we coshysponsored a reunion of Bobcats at Jonesboro Arkansas Five planes atshytended and the owners of four other Bobcats were there In July we flew the Bomber around the perimeter of Lake Michigan stopping for several days at Mackinac Island Later that summer we flew to EAA Oshkosh 88 and several other local events

The first flight of 1989 was a comshymemoration in honor of the 50th anshyniversary of the Bamboo Bombers first test flight On Sunday March 26 1939 Dwane Wallace took the original Bobcat on its maiden flight Since Easshyter Sunday March 26 1989 marked 50 years to the day we celebrated the anshyniversary by making a sunset flight My son Greg Hill was copi lot Jeannie and a foreign exchange student from Hanover Germany made up the crew As usual the Bomber performed flawshylessl y It was a real thri II to fly the plane while fully understanding the historical significance of the day

Our eventual plans for the BIMBO BOMBER call for a new cabin interior

and a civilian paint job We intend to enjoy her for as long as possible Two years have gone by now two wondershyful years Weve attended dozens of events flown thousands of miles and have given many hours of rides We enjoy sharing the Bomber with others especially those who have received their multi-engine training in one of these planes It seems wherever we take it the Cessna draws quite a crowd of admirers Whether they have a story about their early flight training days in the cockpit or whether they remember the plane from their Saturday morning ringside seats in front of the television they all bring smiles and happy memories to share bull

20 JULY 1989

From September 1987 to September 1988 I had the privilege of seeing many different parts of the United States from the cabins and cockpits of a variety of antique airplanes It all started on Labor Day Weekend 1987

I was in New York working on my fathers Luscombe My friends Bud and Connie Dake called from St Louis to ask if I would come out and fly their Stinson SM-8A to the National Anshytique Airplane Association fly-in at Bartlesville Oklahoma Bud wanted to take his Clipwing Monocoupe in which baggage space is quite limited while the Stinson is practically big enough to dance in so I was to carry the extra luggage

I quickly agreed to the proposal and on the Wednesday before the fly-in my brother David and I drove the 16 hours to St Louis ready to depart the next morning on our first visit to Okshylahoma I figured that similar airplanes had been flown on similar routes in the 1930s so that this trip would recapture a little slice of history the kind of exshyperience that Ive always enjoyed when the opportunity arose I even brought along a hat that I thought looked like a Stinson captains hat

ought to although several people acshycused me of stealing it from a Mexican general

Buds Stinson like all his airplanes is in very nice shape It flies equally nicely not very heavy on the controls as you might think by looking at the big old ship It can be demanding on landing because of its full-swivel tailshywheel although the big rudder and the brakes are adequate but you sure dont want to let it get ahead of you Since I didn t have much time in the airplane our first stop was planned for Springfield-Downtown Airport in Misshysouri with its grass runway

It was a sunny day with just a little haze when we departed Creve Coeur Airport and headed west Pilotage would have been easy but for the first time (and the only time so far) I had a loran to help It felt a little like cheatshying but it certainly made navigation a snap At Springfield Frank and Carol Kerner of St Louis caught up to us in their Cessna J72 They have a 1936 Monocoupe that I had worked on for them in the spring and would return to later in the year We flew formation with their Cessna after leaving Springfield and progressed from the

hills of southern Missouri to the flatter terrain on Oklahoma finally landing at Bartlesville after a little less than four hours of flying for the day

It was an enjoyable weekend with many interesting airplanes and occurshyances but by Sunday morning a front was approaching so we took off and pointed the nose back toward St Louis We d found out on the way down that they werent selling gas at Springfield-Downtown that Sunday so on the way back I opted for the wide runways at Rolla National Airport in Vichy It was my first time landing the Stinson on pavement and this comshybined with a slight left crosswind and the fact that Connie had decided to ride back with us had me wired a little more than usual but a beautiful wheel landshying resulted

We refueled and then it was only another hour before we were back on the ground at Creve Coeur and our whirlwind weekend was almost over Early on Labor Day we thanked Bud and Connie and got back in the car for the long ride back to New York This time we stopped at Dayton Ohio to see the Air Force Museum We arrived home in the early hours of Tuesday

I thought the hat made me look more like a Stinson captain VINTAGE AIRPLANE 21

I

morning tired but with another unique and memorable experience under our belts

The next entry in my logbook is on October 13 1987 a day I wont soon forget Sunrise found my cousin Matt and me at the Old Rhinebeck Aerodshyrome trying to start the Canadian Tiger Moth that my uncle had just sold and that I was to deliver to Gar Williams in Naperville Illinois The temperashyture was in the mid-20s that morning and when the engine finally caught the blast of icy air choked me for a few seconds before I could regain my breath

The take-off from Rhinebeck was somewhat sentimental - that ai rplane had been brought down from Canada by Cole Palen in the year I was born 1962 and had grown old at the Aerodshyrome as I grew up there If airplanes could talk this one would have some stories My dad and my uncle had bought it in 1967 and my uncle had been sole owner since 1982 so it had been in the family a long time It was al so the first biplane I ever soloed on my 17th birthday Im sure that both Matt and my uncle were having similar thoughts as they watched me take off on that frosty morning and I made a final low pass in salute before climbing away

I went north at first to pick up the

Mohawk Ri ver Valley which is a much better westward route than through the mountains espec ially at that temperashyture The Tiger Moth had been conshyverted from the canopy it once wore to open cockpits for increased enjoyment but the reverse was true that morning I was wearing layer upon layer of clothes but at 3000 feet over the footshyhill s of the Catskills with an 80-mph wind blasting past I was chilled to the bone the coldest I can remember The cold bit through my big snowmobile boots and my gloves and I was quite concerned about frostbite but pressed on landing two hours later at Riverside Airport in Utica New York The stushydents at the AampP school there must ve thought that World War II Canadian trainers were a dime a dozen It turned out that two friends of ours had landed there the day before in a Canadian Warplane Heritage Fleet biplane on their way back from Rhinebeck

The sun climbed slowly but the temshyperature didnt seem as anxious to rise as I continued Western New York was a magnificent tapestry of autumn colshyors and I reminded mysel f to appreciate that as I hunched over in the cockpit of the Tiger slapping my hands and stomping my feet in an effort to keep warm I thought of other pilots in other deHavillands - DH 4s - flying mail on days like that back when Lindbergh

was just another one of them Visibility was unlimited but the

wind was on the nose of course stopped at Hopewell Airport in Cananshydiagua near the Finger Lakes and had some cookies with a friend there then on to Dart Airport in Mayville From there I flew over the tip of Pennsylshyvania and into Ohio where I stopped in Middlefield and continued on past Cleveland to Bowling Green The sun was going down so I stayed overnight there and woke the next morning to balmy 35-degree temperatures

It was two more legs to Naperville the first to Goshen Indiana where there are three big runways to choose from two of them grass They even have 80-octane On the last leg the sky became overcast and I wondered if it might snow since it also got colder but the rest of the trip was uneventfiul and a couple of hours later I was havshying some nice hot soup in the Wilshyliams s house

That evening I flew back to New York in a few hours on a DC-9 and the next week the temperatures reached the 60s every day Oh well

In November I finally got the Lusshycombe flying and then went back to St Louis to work for Frank and Carol on their Monocoupe again I returned to New York for Christmas and then in January flew the Luscombe back to Missouri learning along the way that the knob marked Cabin Heat was there more for imagination than anyshything else that 42-year-old seats arent the most comfortable of accommodashytions and that Pennsylvania has some very inhospitable terrain I stayed near Route 80 until I was into Ohio where I stopped at Alliance overnight This was interesting because Id flown in a Luscombe over the old Piper factory in Lock Haven Pennsylvania that day and the next morning flew over the old Taylorcraft factory in Alliance In 1946 those factories were Luscombes big competitors but no more Another cold days flying brought me back to St Louis and I thought Id done a lot of cross-country flying lately Actushyally the year was just getting under way After flying halfway across the

country in Otto Timms prototype Colshylegiate my next cross-country came in June and again I visited a state I had never been to before Louisiana to pick up a Piper Vagabond for AI Stix It was a PA-15 with a 65-hp Lycoming and was based in Lafayette I thought The sentimental joumey of my familys Tiger Moth begins

22 JULY 1989

it a little strange that I flew in there on a Boeing 727 to pick up a little 1948 no-radio airplane I suppose the little Vagabond was anxious to leave the paved expanses of the modem airport for more suitable surroundings Unforshytunately its compass didnt work telshyling me that I was going west no matter which way I turned Im pretty good with just a sectional but out over a big Louisiana swamp there arent many landmarks

Fortunately not too long after leavshying Lafayette I found a river that I folshylowed to the mighty Mississippi which I followed all the way to St Louis The Vagabond is a very nice flying little airplane and cruises about 85-mph on around four gph The 65 Lycoming doesnt have the greatest reputation for reliability but this one seemed to run pretty well and if it didnt there were often huge sandbars on the river that wouldve been fairly easy to land on When I made this trip on June 15th and 16th the river was at one of its lowest points of the hot dry summer

I left Lafayette early in the afternoon and on the first day stopped in Vicksshyburg adding Mississippi to the list of states Ive been in and also Greenshyville and Clarksdale in that state and ending up in the evening at General DeWitt Spain Airport in Memphis Tennessee The weather was pretty

Fueling the Vagabond

good all the way and I was surprised at the number of duster strips I saw that werent on the chart

I got a ride to an economical motel for the night and the next morning was up before the sun and walked the few miles to the airport where the Vagshyabond was waiting to continue its travels I took off and followed my liqshyuid landmarks northward once more landing for gas at Cairo (thats KAYshy

roh) Illinois a town that doesnt mean much to most people But I majored in English in college and during my trip up the Mississippi was constantly reshyminded of Huckleberry Finn and his raft Cairo is where the Ohio River empties into the Mississippi and was the place Huck wanted to stop so he and his companion Jim an escaped slave could go up the Ohio to free territory They missed Cairo in the night and it was interesting to me to fly over and see where theyd floated by - even if only in Mark Twains imagination

From Cairo it was non-stop to Creve Coeur but I ran into a cold front and some clouds and rain which didnt make the Lycoming too happy and it skipped a few times in protest before smoothing out again The front wasnt very wide though and eventually I flew through and landed in hazy sunshyshine at Creve Coeur another interestshying trip completed

During the summer I flew the Lusshycombe to many different places getshyting as far west as Kansas as far east as New Hampshire and as far north as Oshkosh but the next really interesting cross-country was a round trip going in one airplane and coming back in another It started on September 25 at John Cournoyers ranchairstrip near Piedmont Missouri John had traded his J-2 Cub to Mike Araldi of Lakeshyland Florida and had bought a rare Waco UBA in Florida that needed to be flown back to St Louis

Finn and Jim My start was delayed by one day Cairo Illinois the fork In the river where Mark Twain played a cruel literary trick on Huck

VINTAGE AIRPLANE 23

due to rain and generally miserable weather but Sunday the 25th dawned clear and beautiful We lost no time in pulling the Cub out and gassing it up It had been converted from the original 40-hp Continental to a 65 but still had the original nine-gallon fuel tank so range was limited Id planned legs of about an hour and a quarter each with plenty of reserve

We made sure that the runway was clear of cows and 1 taxied out closed the door and windows to avoid manure thrown up by the tires and took off With 65-hp the J-2 leaped into the air and climbed like the proverbial homeshysick angel but cruise wsnt exactly ripshyroaring At first 1 thought I would break my record for the slowest crossshycountry - Wisconsin to New York in a Model A Ford-powered Peitenpol Air Camper that did all of 63 mph - but the J-2 nosed out the Pietenpol at about 67 mph

First stop was at New Madrid Misshysouri by the Mississippi River Then I low-and-slowed to Paris Tennessee watching the Sunday morning worshyshippers arriving at all the little churches along the way After leaving Paris and passing over Kentucky Lake I caught up with the front that had deshylayed my start and the weather deshyteriorated until I barely had VFR minimums It was navigation by roads and powerlines as I made my way through the hills of central Tennessee stopping at Centerville and finally at Tullahoma where I spent the night in the hospitality of antiquer Wayne Amelang and his wife Marcene

The next morning brought ground fog but before too long the sun started burning through so I took off and climbed through a hole in the murk right up to 4000 feet There were enough holes in the low clouds to navishygate through and after about 20 miles I was glad I was on top because the clouds got solid for a few miles and then mountains rose up through them At 4000 feet this was no problem and I was soon across the mountains with the clouds behind me

I landed at Fort Payne Alabama (another new state for me) and then flew into Georgia with stops at Carshyrollton Thomaston Cordele and Adel The weather was pretty good a slight headwind and scattered or broken clouds but after crossing into Florida I ran into the same front again and landed in the rain with thunderstorms booming around me at Live Oak I tied 24 JULY 1989

After clearing the cows from John Coumoyers airstrip we launched the J-2 CUb

Tullahoma Tennessee where J-2 Cubs and Learjets mix on the ramp as equals

the Cub down and got a ride into town where I stayed in a Chinese motel for the night

The next morning it was only a four or five mile walk to the airport so by the time I got there the ground fog was burning off and I gassed up and took off My last fuel stop was at Williston and on the final leg to Lakeland I saw some of the most spectacular aerial scenery God has ever created Id

climbed up above the clouds again but in the heat of the Florida morning they built up until the cumulus towered thousands of feet above me What beauty and I had the best seat in the house in a little yellow Cub I flew among the gentle giants for about an hour and then the Araldi s private strip was below and it was time to circle down and land

Mike treated me to dinner that evenshy

The UBA sure flies nicely just like an F-2 and Mike Araldi told me that the UEC cabin flies the same way The controls arent super-light but are very positive and well harmonized Perforshymance is excellent with a good rate of climb and no doubt a cruise speed of 120 mph with the right prop Theres a large baggage compartment forward of the cockpit and the side-by-side seashyting in the open cockpit is not only unusual but would also make having a passenger more fun The UBA has beshycome one of my favorite Wacos

On this trip unfortunately I was acshycompanied only by the wind the sun and the clouds which isnt bad comshypany to keep They were with me through Florida and Georgia where I stopped at LaGrange but over Alabama the sun disappeared behind an overcast and once again I was racing darkness to my destination Tulshylahoma I made it with room to spare and spent another night with theThe Araldls private strip in Lakeland Florida where I left the Cub and picked up the Amelangs then woke up the nextWaco

ing and I spent the night at his father s house His father Joe wasnt there which was too bad as I would have liked to meet him also but his wife was there and is a Luscombe pilot so we had plenty to talk about She and Joe had flown the Waco to their place from the east coast of Florida where it had been based and it was in their hangar next to the house

I had been told that 12445 was in fairly rough shape and the warnings were pretty accurate The flying wires were rusty the bottom ailerons showed evidence of a few groundloops and a few other things werent perfect but on the whole it was airworthy

I made a leisurely start late the next morning and flew a few miles to Zephyr Hills to top off the tanks disshycovering on landing that the brakes were adjusted so tight that the tires reshyally squealed on touchdown and some extra care was required on landing John had told me that they d had to tighten them up quite a bit to get them to work at all so I left them alone

The first real leg of the trip was up to Live Oak again an hour and a half away to check fuel consumption and cruise speed The propeller seemed to have too much pitch since at around 22 inches of manifold pressure I was only getting 1650 rpm and I didnt push it any harder At those settings I was getshyting about lOS-mph cruise and burning about 12 gph Aloft on Waco wings

VINTAGE AIRPLANE 25

One of the winding stretches of river that unfolded through the Wacos flying wires

morning to cloudy skies and predicshytions of rain

I took off anyway and did hit rain once in a while and some low clouds but nothing too bad Kentucky passed below and after an hour and three quarshyters I landed at Metropolis Illinois which according to a sign on the outshyside of the office is the Home of Superman and a suitable picture of the superhero is painted on the wall

Then it was one more homewardshybound leg over the flatlands of southshyern Illinois to Missouri The sun broke out halfway there and once more the familiar skyline of St Louis finally apshypeared in the distance A few minutes later I made a low pass at Creve Coeur and landed It would be the Wacos last flight for a while as it wasnt too long before its wings were off and John was taking it away for restoration

All of these trips provided fascinatshying and fun punctuations to life in that l2-month period and if I extend my year a little I can also include my move back to New York in October when I flew the Luscombe to Rhinebeck via Toccoa Georgia Tocshycoa is a little out of the way on a trip to New York from St Louis but I had old friends there to visit and new ones to make In fact while there I gave 24 rides in one week

The flight from there to Rhinebeck was made on a cool clear autumn day and the Blue Ridge Mountains made a magnificent backdrop for much of the journey I landed at Culpepper Virshyginia and then at College Park Maryshy26 JULY 1989

land in order to set foot (and airplane) on the oldest continuously operated airport in the country One more stop at Pottstown Pennsylvania and then it was on to Rhinebeck where I was met before landing by two friends one in a Piper J-3 and the other in a Piper J-5 I would ve liked to play around with them for a while but my posterior was feeling the effects of the long flight and it was time to land

airspace although I was near such areas numerous times - good training and careful flying negated any conflict with airspace or other airplanes In fact as almost any pilot who has flown such trips could tell you youre usually lucky to see one other airplane every hundred miles except near major metshyropolitan airports where a little extra vigilance is wise See and avoid still works fine even under the upper layers

See and avoid still

works finee Except for the trip to Bartlesville in

the loran-equipped Stinson all of these flights were made with no special navishygational equipment other than a comshypass and sectional charts - and in the Vagabond the compass didnt even work Old fashioned pilotage was alshyways more than adequate to get me where I was going not to mention being enjoyable and satisfying I never had a problem avoiding controlled

of TCAs I sincerely hope that such trips do

not become stories from the past but continue under the hands of pilots who want to rely on their own resources and not to be guided by little black boxes or voices from the ground This kind of activity is an intrinsic part of the definition of America which is and must remain the Land of the Free bull

Back home at Creve Coeur The Waco was tom down for rebuild after we got it back

January weather in Wisconsin norshymally provides few clear warm (30 deshygrees) days particularly on weekshyends The forecast for Sunday the 14th was optimistic however so we actishyvated the chapter phone net and by 900 am Capitol Airport in Brookfield was a beehive of activity Members of EAA AntiqueClassic Chapter I I thawed pried and dragged out their aircraft after several weeks of freezing rain snow and ice had securely bound many of the planes to the ground

Carl Pederson had suggested at our last chapter meeting that we go to Prairie du Sac on our next outing to view that bald eagles that roost there during the winter The groups enshythusiastic response was Okay Carl its your idea so you arrange it And arrange it he did The flight over the frozen Wisconsin countryside was beautiful and all too short For those who arent familiar with the area Prairie du Sac is situated along the Wisconsin River about 30 miles northshywest of Madison Wisconsin Carl had arranged transportation into town for us with Rex Ross the operator the Firehouse Restaurant The restaurant overlooks the river and several eagles flew by while we were eating lunch

After lunch we gathered outside along the river bank to watch the eagles as they soared along the bluffs overshylooking the river The camera buffs in the group had a field day photographshying the birds as several of them treated us to fly-bys at low level along the river I wonder if we could book them for EAA Oshkosh

Our totals for the day were 14 airplanes and 27 chapter members Carl You done good Thanks bull

February 14 1989 Dear Mr Hilbert

1 am writing to ask you for a sort of off the wall estimate on the current value of a Davis D-l-W that I have owned since 1966 1 would not be afshyraid to fly it with a 1DO-hour inspection at this time It last flew a few hours in late fall 1987 The airframe is okay as far as I could tell then The Warner 165 has about 300 hours since major

A friend has proposed to restore it to near original factory configuration colors etc It was built in 1935 My concern is what price to put on it for insurance purposes should a fire or workshop collapse destroy this rare 28 JULY 1989

bird Thanking you in advance for some help I am Yours truly H E Ware MD Anderson Indiana

Dear Dr Herb I appreciate your confidence in me

by asking about your Davis I will try to give you an answer The way to figshyure this is to start with an estimate of the value of the fully restored product If you ve got a number 10 with a newly overhauled engine new tires and all done up really right what will be the final value Without getting speshycific let s say its $XXOOO

Now whatever it takes to get it into that shape deducted from the final figshyure will give you a number to start with The re-cover materials and labor with NO airframe work should be in the area of $10000 The workman should take plenty of time to restore the basic structure replace cables wirshying woodwork and all the other zillion little things All that time and material would be over and above the $10000

The engine with 300 hours should be overhauled These old engines sufshyfer from lack of attention and the metallurgy isnt the same as today s powerplants We are so accustomed to the reliability and life span of today s engines we tend to forget that these oldies had time limits on them close to the SOO-hour number I would suggest that in the nature of preventative maintenance you do the overhaul at the same time

Hang new tires on it pay some atshytention to the landing gear and the tailshywheel assembly and make sure all the bushings and stuff are in good condishytion You can figure on at least another $7000 for the additional work plus any surprises the mechanic may add such as prop overhaul and engine acshycessories

Starting with the $XXOOO subtract the expenses and arrive at your starter number Since the potential is there add a few thousand to your insurance estimate If you were to go much higher than that the insurance comshypany may get suspicious and try to take advantage of the situation

Over to you Doctor Buck bull

High-wing parasols seem to be a popular design for lightplane builders This one features side-by-side seating The photo is from the EAA archives date and location unknown Answers will be published in the October 1989 issue of VINTAGE AIRPLANE Deadshyline for that issue is August 10 1989 Several members easily recognized the April Mystery Plane Ben Giebeler of San Bernardino California writes

The April Mystery Plane is a Califorshynia Cub NC 337N with an American Cirrus engine I used to fly it at Nashytional City Airport California in early 1940 It was a sweet little plane I do believe there was also another copy with a radial engine possibly a 60-hp LeBlond

When I checked out in the plane the FBO owner (I forget his name) adshyvised me to come in high when landing over the wires and Highway 1 (Los Angeles to Mexico) When safely over the short field pick up the nose let the strong prevailing wind back you up to the touch down bar then gently power down to the runway Really it did it

Charley Hayes of Park Forest Ilshylinois also had a personal experience with the airplane

What fun to again encounter an old friend The California Cub powered

proval 2-344 issued in May 1931 weighed 1592 pounds gross and was one of a kind It was designed by that Brown of renown Lawrence Larry Brown who also flew it to sixth place in the American Cirrus Derby circa 1930

It was my good fortune to fly this plane at a small field between the Mexshyican border and San Diego about 1940 The operator was Carlyle Madson I believe I also flew the only California Cub with either a Lambert or Kinner engine at the same field Standard check-out consisted of pulling the stick full back and banking 45 degrees right and left all at about 100 feet on take-off climb

Other answers were rece ived from Robert C Mosher Royal Oak Michishygan H Glenn Buffington EI Dorado Arkansas Robert Wynne Mercer Isshyland Washington Herbert G deshyBruyn Bellevue Washington Marty Eisenmann Garrettsv ille Ohio RE Louderback Cincinnati Ohio and Charles A Smith Plainfield Illinois

This seems like a good time to again emphasize the two-fold purpose of thi s column First is the intent to review relatively obscure designs and to add to the historical record The California Cub is a good example The reshysearchers bible (Juptner s US Civil Aircraft Volumes 1-9) reveals two listshyings for the Cub Volume 9 page 147 shows the 0-1 model powered with the Lambert 90-hp engine On page 161 the 0-2 model (our Mystery Plane) is pictured Sadly nothing is recorded as to the manufacturer of the airplanes or any other detail s Thus the personal experiences of Biebeler and Hayes add another bit to the history of this design

Again I must emphasize that Im not out to stump the experts alshythough to be honest Im tempted But many readers don t know about Juptshyner s volumes or many other sources I hope to encourage them to learn Another problem is locating good photos for use in the column so if you have a favorite youd like to share with us send it in I d also like your views on this columns philosophy and whether you have benefitted from our series bull
