Meeting Minutes September 19, 2020
EAA Chapter 1167
Old Business:
We remain on the list for a B-17, Tri-Motor, or B-25 tour stop but all are still VERY indeterminate.
We elected to go forward with our Fall fly-in but moved the date to October 31st. There are still actions to determine if Young Eagle flights will be possible or if we’ll limit our activity to friends and food.
New Business:
Reminder to everyone that our annual dues are due in October.
Main Discussion:
Oshkosh Airventure 2021 may not happen unless WI Gov. soon changes restrictions for mass gatherings.
Sun-n-Fun Wings & Wheels event is planned for December 3rd 2020.
Tech Talk:
Bolt pull (fish) wire and other options for installing hardware in nearly impossible locations.
Motor oil grades and behavior with respect to temperature. Additionally the move towards lower viscosity oil in an effort to improve fuel economy without increasing engine wear.
Queen Air prop passage that will clog up from the varnishes in oil if it sets for 6 months.
Engine oil heater useage.
Midland two-way radios on VHF with far higher range than the old CB band.
