Our next meeting will take place at Baron's Restaurant in Greene N.Y. at 11:30 or around noon on Saturday the 15th of April.  Bring your friends so they can share our experiences of flight and projects. 

Well it is spring, according to the calendar, but I think it will continue to tease us a little more until May and then, hopefully, we can start having our club picnics and fly-ins.  So be thinking on where you want our next meeting.  We had a total of 10 people present at our last meeting and once again we had good food and fellowship. 

We were through eating at around 1:30 and started the meeting by saying the pledge of Allegiance to our Flag.   We had our round table review starting off with Ron Masick, our Marshall Arts person who is very busy, looking for an ultralight.   Let’s hope Sandy won't object to him flying high.  

Paul Mulig bought a real beauty, a cream puff 2003 CGS Hawk, just like new with only a hand full of hours on it.  He traveled clear to Wisconsin and trailered it home without incident. Good going Paul!

John Finn continues working on his Challenger but his work has distracted him somewhat and he plans to pick up the pace when warm weather comes about.
Matt Garbett got to fly a 172 at Sidney Airport just to maintain his edge on flight.  He bought a 1984 Yamaha Motor Cycle and is enjoying the fuel efficiency and his wife reminding him it is only his neck.  He also is looking to buy another Ultralight.  Deep down inside he thinks he should have kept one certain Phantom.
Dave Donnora has his Aerolite 103 for sale at 8K for our members; more outside the club.  He replaced a Power Fin Prop, it cost 350 dollars in December looking for Deer and his prop made contact with a coconut. Meanwhile he is working on his Wagabond.  It is 80% done and he figures 80% more to do, go figure.  He also has been looking at a GT-400.  It apparently ran into a bunch of penguins and landed in the middle of a coconut field. Dave also said, the Zaverton Airport is now Commercial and will be called the Husky Haven.  The field will have fuel and will have ability to take care of helicopter rides.

Gil Aitchison still has his skies on and is in the process of taking them back off.  He claims the mud wasn't slippery enough for take-off.  He also had to buy a new 60 amp. hour battery which cost 60 dollars.  His treasures report is now $1203.00;  more than enough to plan for that bus trip to the Aerodrome in the Hudson Valley , Old Rhinebeck Airport .  

Duane Ross flew into Allen Huntley's place and it seems he is under the weather with possibly MONO.  Allen is selling his Cessna 150 as is, without the paint job.
We wish him well!
Jim Croisant talked about some Black Hawk Helicopters have been getting into accidents with their fly by wire problems.  He also is sprucing up his Phantom with paint and TLC for a 10 gallon tank.  Today he is flying in his Archie Bunker Chair. He had a fight with his tractor drawbar while cleaning the manure out of his rabbit hut, hurt his back and is busy reading kit planes and recuperating.  He is, however, confident, that he will become agile enough for that maiden flight this spring in his Phantom. He also has been documenting part numbers and taking pictures of his craft for future reference.
Mel Wightman is looking for an Ultralight similar to the Phantom or the CGS Hawk.
 The meeting was over at approximately 2:30 PM.
 Your Secretary,
                Mel Wightman
