The regular monthly meeting of EAA Chapter 704 was held on March 12,2007 at the Sparta Paul C Miller Airport pilot's lounge. There were about 20 members and guests present.
President Vic Johnston called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. and opened the discussion with questions about the annual Pancake Breakfast Fly In held in conjunction with the Sparta Town and Country Days celebration. The date needs to be confirmed so announcements can be placed in Michigan Aviation publication.
Paul Zimmer showed some of the tail assemblies of his RV -7 project and discussed the building process he is going through. Other projects were mentioned including Torre Ro's Super Cub restoration.
Paul Spetosky spoke for a while about his time spent many years ago working on Rocket engines for the Titan 3C missiles. He stated he had developed an interest in these engines in the early phases of the "Space Age" and described some of the booster engines used as well as the rocket engines and their control systems. He apparently worked in this field for nearly a year before moving on to other interests.
Meeting adjourned for refreshments and hangar talk
