Meeting Minutes Nov 16, 2024

EAA Chapter 1167

Old Business:

• Fly-in's for next year will be in May and Sep. Specific dates to be chosen.
• Merchandising materials:
  Doug suggests we make some T-Shirts one Saturday. Suggests each member buy shirts on Amazon and bring to the meeting to ink it.
  Larry wants hat and/or name tags.
  Duane would like mesh/net and regular hats.
  Ron to check with Identity Promotions in North Myrtle Beach for making hats.
  
• Doug to keep looking for picnic tables on auction sites.
• Should the Chapter spend funds on AAST? Doug is coordinating. Maybe late Feb or early Mar.
• Insurance for Young Eagles flights has changed. Our Chapter is responsible for collecting proof of $1M liability insurance, air worthiness, and pilot credentials.

New Business:

• Chapter to vote on new logo in January.
• Dennis to get Chapter Name Tags for any member that wants one.
• In January, we will pick a date for the spring Fly-in.

Main Discussion:

• P51 might be available but it's very expensive in the order of $1400 to nearly $2000 per person per ride.
• Christmas Party to be at SOHO's North at 5 p.m.
• Larry volunteered to personally or as a Chapter help pay for the Young Eagle liability insurance for our pilots.
• Jack wants to let Sister Chapters know of our upcoming Young Eagle Events at least several months in advance.
  

Tech Talk:

• Jim talked about disconnecting an autopilot with runaway trim. He also discussed gliders, and checking flight controls before flight, and split flaps or spoilers/speed brakes. Larry talked about flaps 40 versus flaps 30, especially at takeoff. Jim then talked about optimal flap setting for landing and takeoff.
