General Membership Meeting

Minutes

October 14, 2009

The meeting was opened by Secretary, Joe Cook, in the absence of V.P., Earl Hodges, at 7:05 pm in the OFOF Briefing Hut

Treasurer's Report - George Frazier presented the following status of the treasuries:

EAA Checking - 342.45

OFOF Checking - 417.51

OFOF Savings - 792.78

Cash - $50

There were 10 Patrons served at the Sept. Fly-In Pancake Breakfast and Aircraft Display.

It was noted in the Oct. BOD meeting minutes that we had received a billing (apparently) from the State of California requiring a payment of $235 each for a filing fee for "Corporation Listing" of both the EAA Chapter and Oroville Foundation of Flight. Payment was grudgingly approved by the BOD. George wrote the checks and submitted via mail to the required Sacramento address on the forms. Subsequently, he got (more) suspicious and went to the bank to put a stop payment on the checks. Simultaneously, while at the bank, he received a call from Karolyn Fairbanks, alerting him to the active scam associated with this alleged outfit and their address, which she had verified from the web. So, thanks to George and Karolyn we saved losing $470 to the scumbags. That gets a big Thumbs Up from everybody.

Secretary's Report - Joe Cook reported that the minutes of the Oct. Board of Directors Meeting minutes have been published via email and on the website. And the website is up to date.

Old Business

Donor Wall Plaques - Howard Fairbanks reported no new information on the procurement, They will get together with the vendor and attempt to get a firm pricing now that we have a known list and requirement.

Donor Wall Nominee List - Joe passed around the Rev. C version of the list and Howie acknowledged that he had received it. It is up to about 30 names. So, at the original guesstimate of $5/plaque, our cost will be circa $150.

There was a discussion of the level of donation that was suitable for inclusion on the list. It was decided, and approved by a vote, that the cutoff should be that the donor contributed one or more significant physical assets, or use thereof, to EAA/OFOF. Minor contributions and "sweat equity", while much appreciated by all, did not warrant inclusion. (Note: Rev. D of the list is included below)

Hangar 14A Rental- George has received no communication from Fred Woolridge regarding payment of the overdue rent ($180). George will make a serious attempt to make contact and get this resolved.

New Business -

Annual Installation Banquet - It was unanimously agreed that last year's outing, as arranged by the Paradise EAA Chapter at the Paradise Cozy Diner was excellent and we would be most happy if they were to do it again. We'll pass the ball to Paradise Pres., Earl Hodges, for acceptance and action. Our preferred date is the Wed. before our Fly-In Pancake Breakfast, namely, Jan. 13. And per tradition, the Chico Chapter is invited also.

Officer Nominations for the coming year - After the usual discussion and polite refusals, the following slate was established for starters:

Pres. - Jay Gamble

V.P. - Earl Hodges, Alternate - Howard Fairbanks

Sec. - Joe Cook

Tres. - George Frazier

Further nominations may be offered at the November BOD meeting, 11/11, and, finally, at the November General Membership meeting. The official vote will be held after nominations are closed at the November General Membership Meeting, Wed., 11/18.

Project Status Reports -

Bob Foster/Paul Satur GP4 - Landing gear mods will be necessary on the project. Apparently there were plans changes that didn't get updated to all the builders and Bob had an older set. The good news is that there is a source of the required plans/parts that are up to date.

Jay Gamble Glasair Sportsman - Jay has decided he will forego the wing fold capability in order to have fixed closure panels at the wing/fuselage junction. He expects be installing the engine in the next 10 days or so.

Board of Directors Meeting

Minutes

October 7, 2009

The meeting was opened at 7:00 pm in the OFOF Briefing Hut by Secretary, Joe Cook, in the absence of V.P., Earl Hodges.

Treasurers Report - George Frazier reported the following status of the treasuries:

EAA Checking - $347.45

OFOF Checking - $122.51

OFOF Savings - $1090.01

Cash $50

There were 10 patrons served for the Sept. Fly-In Pancake Breakfast and Aircraft Display.

George suggested that we turn off the water for the rest of the winter. It looks like the rain will start next week and the water bill for last month was $78. Our water provider, the Thermalito Irrigation District, has increased the monthly fixed fee to $28, in addition to the metered usage fee. Joe turned off the timer for the Terry's Glen system on the way out. The Tree system remains to be accomplished.

George reported that we received 2 new forms from state - Corporation Listing. $235 each for both EAA and OFOF. Due Oct. 25. Approved for the Treasurer to complete, write the checks and submit. George thinks these are new, and we feel that the "filing fee" is especially excessive. It was speculated that this may be one of the state's new/increased charges to address their budget deficit situation.

Secretary's Report - Joe Cook reported that the minutes of the September General Membership meeting of 9/16/2009 have been published via email and on the Chapter website. The website is up to date.

Old business -

Donor Wall Plaques - No report on the plaques, Howard Fairbanks was absent. Joe presented a spreadsheet of currently proposed nominees for recognition and asked for revisions and additions. Revisions and additions were noted. (Additional revisions and additions were made with input from Dan Cook. We are now up to Rev. C, dtd 10/10/09 which will be presented at the Gen. Mem. meeting coming up Wednesday.)

Hangar 14A Rental - As noted last month, we extended the agreement with Fred Woolridge, whose Lancair project still awaits completion and test flight, through March, 31, 2010, at the rate of $180 for the 6 months. George has sent an email to that effect. No response so far. The rent is past due. George will attempt a phone call.

New Business -

Joe presented a flyer from the North Valley Aviation Assn. (nee NVPA) - They are having an OctobAIRfest dinner at Chico Ranchaero Airport, Sunday. 10/25.

George Frazier will be going to the CopperState Regional Fly-In representing Stewart Finishing Systems, as usual.

Per the action item assigned at the BOD meeting, Joe sent an email to Robin Nichols, Chico Chapter Pres., requesting that if they should decide to continue with their proposed monthly Saturday Pancake Breakfast, that they consider holding it on the 2nd or 4th Sat. to avoid conflict with the long standing Oroville 3rd Sat. date. We received a reply from Mr. Nichols stating that, "The cook selected the date." We take this to mean no discussion took place and they remain committed to the 3rd Sat. of the month. :-(

Tracy Hinton's Presentation - "Flight of the Bird"

Tracy Hinton is an experimenter/model builder who is convinced that with the proper use of modern materials and techniques, human flight is possible without the assistance of other power devices. He presented a discussion of his thinking and brought a model and a full sized frame for demonstration. He has sought financial help from various sources but significant investment remains to be obtained. He basically was looking for a technical critique and direction on where/how to go forward. The group found the idea and presentation interesting but could offer no substantive direction other than to suggest he seek out an artist/expert in 3D drafting and graphics to get the design rendered into a suitable engineering file format and to offer Good Luck and further contact if something materializes.

Here is a photo of the full sized frame -

And here are Toni and Tracy Hinton with the frame - (my apologies for the quality of the shots - it was after sunset and the power of the flash was limited)

Toni and Tracy Hinton w/ full frame model

Our thanks to Toni and Tracy for their efforts and best of luck in your future endeavors.

Meeting was adjourned at approximately 8:30 pm.

Old Business

Hangar 14A - No news on the flight testing of the Woolridge Lancair. Time is running out.

Golden West - Ed Calcote reported that GW had more attendance this year, at about 6000, than last year, but lost money again. Ed says it is definitely "On" for next year, however. It was noted that there continue to be food problems, especially with the Lion's Club breakfast (and their people).

Donor Wall Plaques - Howard Fairbanks was not in attendance to present a report.

New Business

It was noted that the Chico Chapter (EAA 427) has announced a Fly-In Pancake Breakfast scheduled to be held at Haigh Field, Orland, on Saturday, Aug. 15, the same day as ours. They propose to make it a continuing operation, if the first is a success, on the 3rd Sat. of the month, same day as ours. It was moved and approved that the Secretary send a note to the Chico Chapter suggesting that perhaps they could choose an alternative schedule, like the 2nd or the 4th Sat. (Corning is on the 1st Sat.) to share the market and avoid a direct conflict. Joe will do so.

For the General Membership Meeting on 8/12, we will have a presentation by Mr. Tracy Hinton, who will describe his "Flight of the Bird" personal flight device and have a model present for viewing and critique.

Maintenance note - In checking the irrigation system after the meeting, I discovered the timer is in the process of failing, one sprinkler head is broken off one line 2 resulting in low pressure and one sprinkler head is not extending on line 1 (resulting in excessive leakage at the head and low pressure). I'll attend to these deficiencies circa 8/11 when I return from Oregon. JEC

Secretary's Report - Joe Cook reports that the "note" regarding the canceled Board of Directors meeting of 7/8/2009 has been published via email. Joe used the extra time to mow multiple areas of the OFOF facility.

Old Business -

Hangar 14a Rental - George says there have been no test flights of the Lancair so far. Some additional parts need installation before it is ready.

Donor's Wall Plaques - Howard Fairbanks action item - Howie continues to expect to get it accomplished soon. :-)

New Business -

Aircraft project status reports -

Jay Gamble reports he still has a few things to install before he hangs the engine on his Glasair Sportsman.

Paul Satur reports that he got his hangar signed off by the City by the deadline but the remaining inspection by the Fire Marshal remains to be signed off due to some new demands, e.g., "running hot water"! Apparently that is a new requirement for a commercial building (no dispensation for a hangar)! With regard to the GP4 project some progress has been made on the ailerons.

Oroville Sport Pilots - Joe gave a report on a possible LSA acquisition. There is a Titan Tornado II with Rotax 912UL (80 hp) advertised in Barnstormers located in Tollhouse, CA (foothills outside of Madera). It has an N number (registered 2005), but no airworthiness cert. EAA National says we can use their UL Transition Exemption (extending the window for transition to ELSA to 1/31/2010), if we buy this aircraft. If we get it, we will have to remove the wings and trailer it back to KOVE for inspection, refurb and ultimately the airworthiness certification inspection.

Next Meeting - EAA/OFOF General Membership Meeting, Wed., 6/17, OFOF Briefing Hut, 7 pm.

Next Event - Pancake Fly-In Breakfast and Aircraft Display, OFOF Briefing Hut, Saturday, 6/20, 8-10 AM.

Notes - In the absence of a meeting, Joe and George removed the mower deck from the mower (Joe had mowed Terry's Glen earlier with spotty results) and Joe sharpened the 3 mower blades for hopefully better effect next time. We don't think these got sharpened last season and they were overdue. No other damage noted.

Joe drove a tram and worked the horn at the Golden West Regional Fly-In at Marysville on Friday, 6/12. Took some pix and they are posted on Picasa Web Albums at

Check out the Radial engined Starduster Too and the Ranger engined Great Lakes, both from Roseburg, Oregon.

FAAST - Our offer to Robin Nichols/Chico Chapter for the use of the OFOF Hut for his proposed FAA Safety Team meeting on any 3rd Sat. of the month after our Fly-In Breakfast was reviewed.

Cash - $50

Secretary's Report - Joe Cook reports that the minutes of the General Membership meeting of 2/18/09 have been published via email and on the Chapter website. And the website calendar has been updated to show the monthly pancake breakfast as a "Pancake Breakfast and Aircraft Display" to accommodate those flying vintage and classic aircraft who are eligible for the state tax break.

Old Business - Joe reviewed the minutes from the Feb. Gen. Mem. meeting.

Joe described his role in the Chapter insurance SNAFU where National didn't accomplish his membership renewal at Golden West, June '08, and so he had to re-up again before they would issue the Chapter's insurance. Hopefully it is in place now.

Bob Foster's surplus fridge still needs to be removed from the Hut. Bob is surveying his options for placing it in his shop or he will get the PG&E to recycle it.

The rental of hangar 14A to Fred Woolridge of Brownsville for the assembly and flight testing of his Lancair was discussed. He should now be in place and paying the rental. We set the agreement at $30/mo. and a max. of 6 mo. occupancy.

Our decision to cancel the 2009 version of our annual fly-in was discussed.

The agreement to offer the Chico Chapter, Robin Nichols, the use of the Hut after one of the monthly Pancake Breakfasts, for a FAAST meeting to be organized by them was announced and discussed.

We are planning to present a DVD showing of the building and features of the Glasair GlaStar Sportsman kit aircraft after the April General Membership Meeting, April 15. The DVD was made available by Jay Gamble who is currently in the process of building one.

General Membership Meeting

Minutes

February 18, 2009

The meeting was opened by Acting Pres., V.P. Earl Hodges, at 7:07 pm in the OFOF Briefing Hut.

Visitor, Bob Hayes, was introduced. He is a prospective member of the Chapter and Oroville Sport Pilots. He is presently a student pilot.

Treasurer's Report - George Frazier reported the following status of the treasuries:

EAA Checking - $667.04

OFOF Checking - $636.37

OFOF Savings - $1090.01

Cash - $50

A total of 30 patrons were served at the Jan. Pancake Breakfast.

Secretary's Report - Joe Cook reports that the minutes of the 2/11/2009 BOD meeting have been published via email and on the Chapter website. An action item remaining to be accomplished is to officially change the listing of the Pancake Breakfast to "Pancake Breakfast and Aircraft Display" as approved by the Feb. BOD. This will allow owners of Classic and Vintage aircraft the option of declaring a valid display at a "Display Function" for tax benefit purposes.

Old Business -

Chapter Insurance - EAA Insurance application and check has been sent by Earl and will be billed when EAA acknowledges acceptance.

Surplus Fridge - Bob Foster, who has declared he wants the fridge for personal use is now off to Mexico, so the fridge is still in hut. Hopefully, it will be removed soon.

New Business -

It was announced that the BOD had approved the rental of hangar 14A to a member from Brownsville, Fred Woolridge, for $30/mo., not to exceed 6 mo., for the final assembly and flight testing of his Lancair. George says the plane is already on the airport and only needs to be moved to 14A to start the rental contract. Since the airport has a waiting list for any of their hangars that become available, we don't consider that this operation is in any way competition with the FBO.

After some discussion, it was determined that there is not sufficient interest and volunteer manpower to hold the Annual Chapter 1112 Fly-In (again) this year. Therefore, nothing will attempt to be organized and a note to that effect will be posted in the Calendar on the 3rd Sat. of May, our customary date for that function.

It was agreed that the Chapter would offer the use of the OFOF Hut to Chico EAA Pres. Robin Nichols, for use for a FAAST meeting in some future month after the breakfast. That is, it could start anytime after 10 am, on the third Sat. of the month and continue as desired. There might also be the opportunity to sell lunches to the attending group. This will be passed on to Robin for his consideration (he originally raised the desire at the Jan. Installation Banquet).

Joe announced that Jay Gamble has offered a DVD of the Glasair GlaStar Sportsman kit aircraft (Jay is in the process of building one) for our use and it might be suitable for an after meeting presentation to the group in the future. The group agreed and we will schedule and promote the showing for the April meeting, 4/15. Hopefully we will all have turned in your Fed. and State tax forms already to avoid a time conflict. :-)

Calendar - The calendar has been populated with all of the known Western regional fly-ins, eg., Golden West, Arlington and Copper State. Chico expects to have their Air Show again in 2009, so it will be added. No new items were offered.

Meeting adjourned at 7:30 pm,

Respectfully submitted,

Old Business - Fridge - The old Kelvinator still remains in the Hut and needs to be removed. It was stated that Bob Foster, who was originally going to organize the donation to the PG&E's recycle program, has decided to use it himself. Earl volunteered to provide a pickup to haul it, if necessary.

Cottonwood rounds - The rounds (trunk, etal) from the fallen cottonwood tree at the corner of Terry's Glen have been pulled out of the Glen proper and placed at the edge of the driveway for transport to the burn piles or wherever. We expect to organize a future work party after the rainy season to accomplish this with the trailer and the forklift.

New Business - Major Cabigas and friends suggested that we change the advertised title of our Fly-In Breakfast to "Pancake Breakfast and Aircraft Display" for tax purposes. This allows the claim of an official display function for vintage and classic aircraft and a break on their tax status. Approved by BOD. George to accomplish in the local ads and Joe to note on the website calendar.

George presented a request, from former member, Fred Woolridge, of Georgetown, who has built a Lancair, for the use of the partial hangar at 14A during his final assy. and flight test period. It was agreed that a rental fee of $30/mo. and a maximum period of 6 mo. would be appropriate. Renewal of his membership for 2009 is expected and required. George to provide an email address for Mr. Woolridge when available so we can get him on the email list.
