Luncheon at Folks Field · · PAGE 285.
December 6, 2008: The usual Saturday
morning friends showed up for today's luncheon. Terry McDowell brought venison
prepared in two different styles. There were plenty of side items and a few deserts.
There was just enough flourescent light in the shop to prevent the flash from
going off. John Myers and Larry Champion are in an RV-8 discussion as usual.
I recently helped Larry align his RV-8 landing gear and drill them into the
fuselage supports.
Here is the all-electronic panel in Harley McGatha's recently purchased RV-7.
Here is a closeup view of the mylar artwork.
Even though the flight home will only take about 20 minutes, Harley checks the
fuel in the tanks before departure.
This airplane got a new O-360 engine just before Harley bought it in North
Carolina. It has a Sensenich fixed-pitch "cruise prop" up front.
The wing upper surface is covered with the vinyl flag artwork, but the wheel
pants sure look like they are painted.
