October (2006) Meeting Minutes

Meeting Minutes October 9, 2006

The meeting was called to order by President Gill. Visitors were David Gibson and Rob Quick. Mr. Quick of Greenville stated that he was building a GN1 and that he had brought part of his wing rib to show.

There were no minutes to approve due to the lack of an actual meeting when we met last month (a picnic was organized instead of the meeting). The Treasury report was unavailable.

New business included a thanks to Dan Bauman for his demonstration of kneeling, as one of our members had used the technique that Dan had shown the group in a previous meeting.

Bill stated that he was working on his M4-Maul which is getting closer to being completed.

It was asked that if any members would like to be an officer in 2007, to mention it to President Gill by next month.

The Sparta Area Pilot's Association (SAPA) President, Paul Kovalak, suggested that the SAPA and EAA704 join together to arrange a Potluck Dinner for November.

It was noted that the runway project was closer to completion and that it was possible that it may be available for daytime usage near the end of October (but not confirmed).

Rob Quick talked about the wing rib that he brought from his GN-1. He spoke of how he had the main ribs completed and was starting on the ribs near the ailerons.

The meeting was adjourned and the members had a coffee break.

After the break, Dan Bauman presented a slide show and gave commentary about the PA-12 that he had been restoring.
