We held January's meeting in the airport administration building, the ARC being full of airplane refugees from the recent flood.
Dave Doherty presided. We forgot to bring the flag over so we faced the flag on the CAF building for the Pledge.
All the hangars were inundated by the flood. With the hangar doors open they let in most of the corn cobs and stalks in northern St. Charles County. The airport will take care of power washing them. Jim Hann covered the tentative schedule from Dennis. When the hangars are dry from the power washing they'll come back again for disinfecting. If your plane is in the hangar at this time they'll disinfect around it. We've got some stuff up on tables in the chapter hangar, if someone could come out and move it prior to the power washing that'd be helpful: Dave will be in Florida.
We're shooting for the end of March to finish the RV. Charlie Becker was interested to hear about the project and the flying club, and would like to see it at Oshkosh. Bill's involved with this year's air show at Spirit. (May 14 and 15) The Snowbirds will perform. We'd like to have a presence, possibly working with the STEM group. Dave has met with these people before, and they've expressed an interest in aviation projects for young people.
The Fly Baby project has stalled, Jim Hann has offered to buy it for $600 and the Cavalier project in trade. We discussed and decided to go ahead with the deal.
We had a chapter "compound" at Oshkosh last year and would like to do that again in 2016.
We plan on doing movies again, March through October. We'll try to have a fly-in.
Our meeting was postponed today as Dave was attending Howard Henderson's funeral. He was a founding member of the chapter and built a number of planes. Dave, Bill, and Don, among several others in attendance, all knew Howard.
Ron Burnett has food coupons. He advised everyone to come right after the meeting and see him, as he'll be heading home to watch his new favorite football team, the Chiefs.

December 2015 Holiday Meeting Minutes
Dave Doherty presided over the Christmas party/December meeting.
Don Doherty reported the checking and savings account balances.
Dave ran down the state of the RV-12 project at the 6 month mark. He’s got the engine waiting at his house.
Rick May reviewed the year of Young Eagles’ events: we had 1 rain-out and 7 events, and flew over 250.
The Pumpkin Drop in October went well.
This spring the airport put in a new well and we
were able to tap in at the administration building. We now have fresh
water that does not smell of iron and sulfur, and also installed an
on-demand hot water heater.
We officially installed Vice President Bill
Doherty and Treasurer Don Doherty as returning officers. Don notes that
we’ll need to do some fundraising in 2016 to refresh our funds.
Next on the agenda was the presentation of
chapter service awards, followed by our guest speaker: Charlie Becker,
who gave a presentation on the One Week Wonder project at Oshkosh.
Following the presentation was the 50-50 drawing and gift exchange, after which we parted until 2016.

November 21, 2015 Minutes
November's meeting began with the Pledge, Dave Doherty presiding.
We approved October's minutes.
Don Doherty gave the Treasurer's Report, including checking and savings account balances. He reminds us that the weather's getting colder so remember to close the bathroom doors. He also mentioned that we've dispatched 18 mice this season so far, so please keep food properly stowed.
Visitors include John Housely, our speaker. John flies a Pitts S2B. Pete Farber found us on the internet. He's retired from the Air Guard and came to check out the chapter. Christopher Ward and his wife Victoria just moved up from Jefferson CIty where Christopher was the Young Eagles coordinator. He's building a 750 Cruzer.
Old business. Jeff Stephensen held a geocaching event at the ARC. When he was at a national event in Seattle they discussed holding similar events across the country; they presented the chapter with a $100 donation. About 80 attended.
Rick May reports that 18 pilots flew 250 kids this year, 185 were first-time flyers. Both numbers are the best we've had in the last 3 years. We also flew 35 parents. Laura Million gave out 122 merit badges. Ground crew participation includes 140 attendees over 7 events. Rick notes that Bill Doherty contributed much to the effort by managing food. Note that we have 2 spots reserved for the advanced air academy at Oshkosh. We're not sure who yet, let Rick May know if you have a candidate.
The Cystic Fibrosis bike ride day coincided with our last YE event. We provided cooking services. They raised $143,000.
We raised $1,300 at the October airport open house. Bob brought his Pitts for display and thanks those who helped plant flags around it.
Food cards are another part of our fund-raising. See Rob Burnett.
Tell Bill Doherty if you need a lock code... email
The RV-12 is almost ready for attachment of the tail cone. It's also time to test the fuel pumps. Testing of the anti-servo tab was successful. Chuck spent almost a week inside the plane trying to get wiring completed. Dave reports the engine is on order. Target completion date is 4/2/2016, with 5 month behind the team.
Speaking of Chuck, he finally got married, and soloed November 1. Bill Doherty took care of the traditional, civilian solo ceremony, presenting Chuck with a chapter t-shirt and then cutting the tail off it. Last weekend he completed his cross country to Litchfield.
We need at least 50 attendees to break even on the holiday. Charlie Becker from Oshkosh HQ is our guest speaker. Location is the same, tickets are $25 in advance, $30 at the door. Email Don if you plan to attend.
Our old upright freezer has died and we've got an offer of a donated unit.
Jim Hann bought Ernie's old Cavalier project and has been trying to figure out how to complete it: the wing is one piece and would require a climate controlled 30 foot space. He's offered to swap the Cavalier and some cash for the Fly Baby project. Dave talked with John Thayer, who's been heading up the project. Not much has happened. John was interested in the Cavalier at one point but not any more. Dave is open to Jim's idea. Jim will need to do a thorough inventory of the Fly Baby to give us an accurate offer.
Today is election day for Vice President and Treasurer. We handed out paper ballots to add to 14 electronic votes.
Chuck mentioned that we could use new seals on the bottom of the garage doors.
Meeting's adjourned and will reconvene for our presentation on aerobatics.
We approved October's minutes.

October 2015 Minutes
October's meeting began with the Pledge, Dave Doherty presiding. Parking was dicey today and attendance light, as we were sharing the airport with the Cystic Fibrosis Cycle for Life event. In spite of the chill two Stearmans did a flyover.
Don gave the Treasurer's report, including checking and savings account balances.
Ronald Twente, who works at Flight Safety International and has an IFR-certified Cessna 150, is with us as a new member. John Bruell( ask Gale) who retired from Boeing and is getting current again is visiting.
The back wall and flagpole base have new coats of paint. Thanks to all who donated their time and effort.
The FlyBaby and Sonerai projects have not changed recently, though the RV-12 is progressing quickly. The group is working on the wings, they've requested the finish kit early. They're planning to paint the plane here, building a paint booth in the ARC with an appropriate exhaust strategy. Decision on the paint system is still in discussion.
We're looking for the chapter's approval to make new member packets. These will go the entire current membership.
Food coupons are available after the meeting from Ron Burnett.
Rick May debriefed us on the end of the YE season. For this year 245 kids flew from the ARC. We flew 30 last Saturday. This will add to the total of 200 Oshkosh has recorded for our chapter, so we'll have 230 points at 5 dollars a point for next year. The new flat screen on the back wall is a Young Eagles expenditure; we ran the YE introductory video during October's event. We're considering sending two kids to Air Academy next year, and have a couple of candidates in mind.
Vice President and Treasurer are up for election this year, nominations will be closed at the end of the meeting. Don and Bill Doherty are our current nominees, no others were put forward.
Tonight is Trivia Night at CBC. Chapter 32 has a table reserved for this year, last year we took second place.
Next Saturday is the Smartt Field Open House and Pumpkin Drop. We need volunteers to staff the ARC. We made around $700 serving food.
Later that evening we'll show First Light, a movie about a pilot in the RAF.
After the meeting we'll be cooking hot dogs for the cyclists, but before that Tom Sparr will speak about his career with the Air Force.
Don gave the Treasurer's report, including checking and savings account balances.

September 2015 Meeting Minutes
September's meeting began with the Pledge, Dave Doherty presiding.
Don gave the Treasurer's Report, including checking and savings balances.
Chuck Gorman is now a member. He's been around as president of the new flying club.
Rick May was absent so Dave gave the numbers for last week's Young Eagles' event. We ended up flying 38 eagles and 9 adults, thanks to 5 pilots and 21 ground assistants.
Bob Murray has done some research on our water heater project. He's concluded that an on-demand heater would be a good solution.
Jeff and the membership committee will be auditing to make sure all new members for 2015 have information packets and door codes.
Ron Burnett has food coupons.
October 3 will be a work party for ARC improvements. We'll install the water heater if we have it. We'll paint the flag pole base and building trim. The garage door could use some paint as well. For 2016 we'd like to paint "EAA32" on the roof and paint the interior metalwork brown. The airport will be sealing asphalt.
Troy chapter 1387 will have a Young Eagles event on October 3 at H19.
The flying club is making impressive progress on the RV-12 project. Gale has inspected and approved the work so far. There are six equity members, about the max for insurance purposes, though all are welcome to work on the project. We've got one possible paint scheme but may
have a contest for more options. The group has gotten 32YE as the registration number.
Dave got a call from a representative of the NHRA, they're looking for some planes to do a flyover in conjunction with the National Anthem. 9/17 at 10:58 a.m. Let Dave know if you'd like to participate.
Zenith Aircraft fly-in is today until 2:00 p.m. CAF Hangar Dance is tonight.
October 17, our next meeting, will be elections for treasurer and vice president. Currently Don and Bill Doherty are the only nominees.
The Aviation Business group will hold their annual trivia night, also on October 17.
Next Young Eagles, our last of the year, will be held October 10.
Our upcoming movie will be Island In the Sky, September 26, starting at 6:00 p.m.

August 15, 2015 Meeting Minutes
August's meeting began with the Pledge, Dave Doherty presiding.
I was out last month, so no minutes to approve.
Don Doherty gave the Treasurer's report, including checking and savings account balances.
Visitors include Steve Long from the FAA. He'll give a presentation following the meeting. Whitney Pearce is visiting, has an airplane, and wants to know how to maintain it. Chuck Gorman is here again and has joined the chapter since last month. He'd been thinking about a Kitfox but after visiting Oshkosh he's evaluating his options.
Rick reported on last week's YE event. YTD, for our 4 events (at which we were able to fly,) we've flown 177 kids over 139 flights with 17 different pilots. Last year we only 158 over 5 events. (108 flights and 10 pilots.) In April we had 21 ground crew, May 18, June 20, July 21, last Saturday we had 20 ground crew. Rod Hightower and two others brought Stearmans (John Ladley and Doug Watanabe). We involved some kids in pulling rivets on the RV-12, so they got to build as well as fly. We still have two more events: second Saturdays in September and October. When talking with other coordinators, Rick gets the question, "How many has your chapter flown?" According to Oshkosh we've flown 7,759. (George Stephenson flew over 1,000 of those himself.) Charles Miano was in attendance as well, and is one of those 7,700 kids, and just passed his CFI check ride.
We need to replace our water heater. Sounds like smaller units are not as common as they once were, so we're considering an on-demand water heater. It would require an additional 220 outlet. The cost for the water heater would be around $200. This is within the limits of an Executive Committee decision.
Dave had the food coupons this month.
We've received a donation of paint for the inside girders.
Pumpkin Drop is coming up in October, and the CAF Hangar Dance will be in September.
Chapter elections take place in November. Treasurer and Vice President are up for re-election. We've got a volunteer to manage the nominations, looks like Don and Bill Doherty are running again.
12/5 will be the Holiday Banquet. Charlie Becker will attend from HQ and talk about the EAA.
Movie of the month is Fighter Squadron.
Bud Cole, an original, founding chapter member, passed away on the Saturday before Oshkosh. He attended most meetings, except for the last few. Dave would like to see his name on the wall at Oshkosh. Dave McGougan notes that he has a videotaped bio of Bud that he made as part of his chapter veterans project.
There are still openings for one or two members in our flying club. They're building the donated RV-12.
Motion was made and seconded to close the meeting.

June 20, 2015 Meeting Minutes
June's meeting began with the Pledge, Dave Doherty presiding. Jim Hann brought the Piper out for us to take a look.
No minutes to approve for last month; I was absent.
Don Doherty gave the treasurer's report, including checking and savings balances. Balances are smaller thanks to paying the bills for our clean water project. We need to replenish this, and got a start with the RV-12 project.
Bob Danner and Kai came out to help with Young Eagles last week and came to visit the meeting.
We flew 32 kids last weekend. The weather was sunny and fine for flying. Laura ran the Boy Scout badge program. RIck arrived late and gave a report. There were 31 flights total, 9 pilots. We were able to fly several parents, including 2 who rode along with their autistic son. Rick reported YE tallies for all of our pilots.
Jeff and Art are working on an updated, online roster.
Rob Burnett has food coupons for Dierberg's and Shop-N-Save.
Per Bob Kraemer there's no updates on a 2015 MACTS conference.
We had an ARC work project in May, got a pile of rocks removed from the dug-up area around the new well.
(Something big with a round engine flew very low over the ARC. Bill went to identify the bird: it was the CAF TBM.)
On the BD-4 project Art has taken a look and feels that, outside of scrap aluminum, all that's worthwhile is the spars.
The flying club was finally incorporated. The bank required a fictitious name for an account, so Dave and the group settled on "Spirits of Aviation Flying Club, LLC." They're going to squeeze some rivets after the meeting.
Movie of the month will be tonight, Flying the Feathered Edge, a biography of Bob Hoover. Next month we'll see Fighter Squadron with Robert Stack.
Jim Hann gave a report on his PA-22. He went into this as a project and ended up as the sole owner, but purchased without a pre-buy inspection, discovering later that he didn't have the correct wings. (There's a pair of Piper wings in his hangar for sale if you're interested.) He reports it as a work in progress. Having a type club or website is a great help when taking on a type certificated aircraft a project, Short-Wing Piper Club and shortwingpipers.org for example.
Thanks to the current monsoon Dave addressed flooding issues. The crest should not reach our airport this time around though it's a good time to review procedures. Since the ARC is higher than the hangars we can store some planes in here, first come first served, though members renting hangars get top consideration, and members get priority over non-members. If the water gets as high as the ARC we plan to rent a container that we can fill and haul away. We'll call members for volunteers to fill the storage container. Note: 30 feet floods the north hangars.
Next month is Oshkosh, July 19 --> 26. Several members are going up early to stake out campsites. Our meeting is prior to this so we'll discuss AirVenture business, such as where to meet for the chapter photograph,
Tom Sparr notes that the International Stinson Club is flying in on the 19th. Poplar Grove (used to be Belvedere) sells mogas.
In August Jackie Jackson, a Harrier pilot will address the group. Libby will tentatively speak in September, and in October Tom Sparr will give a presentation. Charlie Becker from Oshkosh will be our speaker at our December Christmas event.
