Fellow flyers:

The weather’s warm and the sky is clear, so this is the time for our Lincoln EAA to hold the first BBQ dinner prior to our Chapter meeting. We will have charbroiled hamburgers and hot dogs cooked on a state-of-the-art grill, by a master chef, with all the fixings for just $5 per person. Dinner will be at 6:00 pm just prior to our meeting. This month’s dinner and meeting will be held in hangar T-5.

We have limited dinners so please RSVP to ensure one of them ends up on your plate!

Our meeting will start at 7:00 pm and will be another informative meeting with information you won’t want to miss!

See you there….

Wednesday, April 17th, 2013
At LHM in hangar T-5 (far north end hangars)
Dinner at 6:00 pm
Meeting at 7:00 pm

RSVP by replying to the member email or you can call Dave at 284-3321 or Ken at 335-1101.

The RVators have cancelled the fly out to Shelter Cove due to the weather, but will go to Auburn if the weather’s better than forecast:

“Sorry , but the weather for Sat does not look reliable for the northern coast. I have moved the Fly -Out to Shelter Cove (0Q5) to 4/20/2013!
If the weather this Sat looks flyable we will meet at Wings in Auburn (KAUN) meet on the ramp at 11:30 the restaurant is expecting us!”

The board members took Laura’s suggestion and put on a movie night as a test. Board members were treated to A Night At The Movies. Hot dogs, popcorn, candy and soft drinks were the backdrop for the feature presentation of Flight with Denzel Washington.

As the sun sank behind the Sutter Buttes the movie screen at the back of hangar H10 came to life. The projectionist made some final adjustments as we settled into a comfortable viewing position. The makeshift movie theater had all the comforts of the Century 21, except for heat. By the second half of the movie there was a slight chill in the air; some got jackets while others just chose to cuddle, the movie was rated R, but the audience was PG13. When the lights came on at the end of the movie we all had a better understanding of the challenges that face some in their everyday life.

The Movie Night trial went very well and I think it would be a fun thing to do for the whole club. Please voice your opinion and suggestions. We want this to be an organization that we all are glad to be a part of.

The RVators have a flyout:
“This Saturday’s Fly-Out will be close – KVCB Nut Tree
Be tied down and ready to walk over to Amici’s Pizzeria by 11:30.
Hope to see you Sat.”

There are a lot of very talented people making up our membership and we’re hoping they will be willing to share their knowledge with the others in the form of some hands on teaching. That’s what this is all about. We are hoping to have some small workshops which we can offer to our members for a very small fee, all the money would stay with our chapter for future projects.

Richard Bristow started the list below of possible subjects and we are looking for people who would like to teach one or two of the subjects. If you don’t see a subject you are interested in, please contact Richard with your thoughts and interests.

1. Composite Construction
2. Sheet Metal Basics
3. Fabric Covering
4. Electrical Systems
5. Avionics
6. Kit Building
7. RV assembly
8. Welding
9. How to Rivet
10. How to Read Blue Prints

Where this goes is up to you as members! We need people who want to teach and those who would like to attend a small hands-on workshop.

The education committee is waiting to hear from you to put the workshops together!

Our March meeting is appoaching quickly. We have an excellent presentation planned and other exciting events. The minutes from the last meeting are posted so that you can review them prior to the meeting. We’re looking forward to seeing you at the meeting on :

Please check your calendar and try to make time to volunteer with our chapter. We are looking for several people to help with the BBQ prior to our April meeting.
Please bring a chair just in case we run out. We will have cookies, coffee and waters for everyone. If you happen to have a new item you wish to bring for the donation table we would appreciate it very much! Come out and join fellow EAA members for some fun and friendship!
