Meeting Minutes May 16, 2020

EAA Chapter 1167

Old Business:

• OBE – No fly-in or Young Eagles until the world is released to socialize again.

New Business:

• No new business

Main Discussion:

• Gypsy Moth restoration going on with some folks up North - Larry discussed

• Airventure cancellation - Tri-motor, B-17, and B-25 delayed until August. 

• Sun-n-fun school reliance on the airshow for funding. Similarly the Air Academy couldn't go on because the kids were cancelling out. 

• We'll press forward with planning for the Fall fly-in and request one of the aircraft tour stop at Myrtle Beach.

• Ron brought up an issue he's been discussing with the county regarding rules for fire protection applicable to aircraft hangers. Primary issue is fire resistance on external walls near public ways. Problem relates to inconsistencies between IBC (international building code) and the National Fire Code.

Tech Talk:

• Short discussion about fabric repair around inspection ports for Dave's Acrosport II. Stitspolyfiber is reported to have an excellent patch instruction set and Aircraft Spruce, and others I’m sure, sell an experiment kit that makes for an affordable patch kit.

Future fly-in:

• Triple Tree events cancelled until Sept. 1st. That'll probably be just in time for their big Fall event.

My humble apologies to anyone who’s name I’ve spelled incorrectly.
