Monthly Meeting (1/20): The Pietenpol and Making Wood Wing Ribs

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin at 10:25 am on Saturday, January 9, 2010

Our meeting this month (Wed, January 20th) is at BSAEC (Bert Sisler Aviation Education Center, our chapter hangar) at Airlake – the grill will be on at 6pm as usual – please bring something to share, meeting at 7pm. Directions can be found in the newsletter.

The topic for the January meeting is a rib making demo by the Pietenpol group.  I suspect they’ll also be talking about the project a bit. Peter Denny, Dale Johnson, Greg Cardinal, Pat Halligan, and others will be active in the presentation.
