E COMMENTS ON DPEAA supports, with some reservations, the p s s ~ eof the Airport and Airway Development Program BIll(H.R. 2643) now before the House of Representatives.EAA Director of Government Affairs , Peter B Strom-born, wrote in a recent letter to each membe r of the House,Although the bill contains some provisions not supportedby EAA, we o support the concept of aviation taxesand user fees being returned to the aIrways system ,and thus the need for this bill to be passed by the Houseof e p r ~ s e n t t i v e s However, Strombom pointed out

that EAA does not support the use of the Airport andAirways Trust Fund for operations and maintenanceexpenses of the FAA. It is our firm conviction that theuse of the Trust Fund should be restricted to its originalconfined purpose of capital improvements to our nationalairways system.It should be noted that EAA was the only aviation

organization which did not support the original TrustFund Bill because of the potential abuses. t is EAA'sposition that the trust fund should not be raided foroperations and administration funds for the FAA.Strombom went on to say that EAA cannot supportthe 12 cents per gallon tax on aviation fuel , which ismeant to pay for the costs of the ADAP Program. Underthe previous ADAP Program, the highest tax was 7 centsper gallon. EAA recommended a lower rate of 8.5 centsper gallon. Strombom said, We sincerely believe thatthis is a modest but fair allocation for general aviationas a sizable proportion of general aviation pilots makeonly very limited use of the airways system.EAA also proposed that antique/classic and homebuiltaircraft be taxed at the lower rate of 2.5 cents per gallon.In requesting this special consideration, Strombom citedthe fact that homebuilt aircraft are used exclusively forrecreational purposes while antique/classic planes arereminders of America s aviation heritage and areimportant to the children of tomorrow.

The derelict Ercoupe looked like this after five years of neglect at theGrand Rapids, MI Airport.

Nicely restored Ercoupe, N99219 is painted gold with red trim.

RESTOR TION OF NeR Oapey J . C. " ud" PearlE 61475, IC 3911)15774 Comstock

Grand Haven, MI 49417(Photos courtesy of the author)

I located Ercoupe 415C, N99219, SIN 1842 at theGrand Rapids, Michigan Airport where it had been tieddown and neglected for five years. I t had been vandalizedand the owner had tried unsuccessfully to recover costsfrom the airport authority. All glass, except the windshield had been broken out and the radio and gyrosstolen. After five years in our rough Michigan climate itlooked pretty sad .I had owned a Coupe before and still had the fact.oryservice manual, so decided to tackle the restoration. Theowner and I arrived at a price and I also paid $250.00owed for tie-down fees before I could remove the plane.On November 24, 1973, a friend and I removed thewings, pumped up the tires, built a trailer under it, andtowed it horne (50 miles on the freeway). We were a littleover the maximum width and traveled at the minimumspeed (45 mph) but had no trouble with th e HighwayPatrol.During the winter I removed all cowlings, fairings,wheels, gear, control rods, etc. I am now an expert atremoving rusted fasteners in 100 weather. I renovatedthese parts in my basement during the winter months.

the second run in October 1974. I t flew hands off andrequired only a slight readjustment of the nose wheelfor proper tracking.Needless to say I have learned a lot about Ercoupesand I enjoy the plane very much . Since the restoration,I have topped the engine and installed a Narco Mark IIIradio under our A.I.'s supervision . I recommend a projectlike this to anyone who has the time and aid of a friendlymechanic. After th e project is finished, you will have agreat sense of satisfaction and will have saved a classicaircraft from ending up on the scrap pile.We have five Ercoupes on our field. All are in excellentshape and basically maintained by their pilot/owners.We are also fortunate to have the support of our localFBO and A.I. who supervises our efforts to keep the Coupesflying.

Nicely done instrument panel follows original Stinson layout.Even control wheels and throHle are original color. Radioand transponder are on left side.Florida and Maine Guess which one it was On July17, 1981 I bought N9368K, a Stinson Station Wagon108-2, from Daniel McKenney, Presque-Isle , Maine, about2200 miles from Lubbock, TexasAccording to the log books, the plane has never beendamaged and has 1750 hours on the engine and airframewith 920 hours since major . The first owner was atCharleston, South Carolina, second in Louisiana, thirdin New York, fourth in Maine and now the fifth owner a Texan . N9368K was initially fabric-covered but onMay 15, 1971 the fuselage was metalized by SkycraftDesign, Inc. The wings are still fabric, being recoveredin June 1980. As you can see in the picture, it is polishedaluminum with a black and red stripe.When purchased , the Stinson had a new Airtexinterior, baggage compartment and vinyl seats and I havebeen upgrading with the help of Univair, Airtex, WagAero, Nagel Aircraft , Kelley Instruments, ThompsonInstruments, ICT Instruments, my good friend , JohnCriswell of Aero Communications and also my good A&Pfriend , Gary Bradley of G & G Aero Service. As theStinson's paper work was not up to date, Horton Aeroweighed it so as to establish a new weight and balance.

o th e exterior, I've added wheel pants, new tires,new left rear lift strut , fillets, antenna and secondventuri. On th e inside I have installed a new carb-heatcontrol, O.A.T. gauge, suction gauge, D.G., attitude gyro,T & B indicator , R of C indicator and new sensitivealtimeter. Along with a King KX 170B transceiver (720ch), KI-208 Omnihead, radio speaker, Telex mike, andoverhead grill and dome light, I now have a full panel.The required addition of shielded wiring harness andshielded plugs was topped off with a new King KT-76A

Editor's Note: The following was received rom DennisB. Anderson (EAA 126733), 546 Wood Knoll Ct . Jonesboro, GA 32036. He writes: "My father is a Delta pilotwho has recently taken a medical retirement. Whilegoing through his logbooks he came across a poem whichwas written by an anonymous priest passenger aboarda DC-6 flight on January 4 1967. I have shown this toseveral friends here in Atlanta and they have urgedme to write this letter to you. We thought the readerswould enjoy what the poem is saying. The title is AnAirplane to Its Pilot.' It was originally written on anapkin in pencil and presented to my dad after the flight.The flight was Delta Airlines Flight 609, ATL-Jan, on114/67 ."

AN AIRPLANE TO ITS PILOTLog my number in your book, and steer me on the airlanesof God's fabulous earth. Look down from my perch, ifyou will, on the creations of the great artist. Gazefrom my windows at your private showing of His

paintings, the sun, moon, clouds and stars. Be partof me and handle me with love, for we are in His favor.We are in His world.I require much more than most machines, for with yourhelp, I can leave the earth . I ask for your respectand I must have your soul. In return, I will steal yourheart . I must have a pilot to guide me, one whopossesses the very basic skills of the art of flight,and shows the ambition to learn my ways, and thehabits of the sky itself.Some less fortunate than you would accuse me of tricks,but I will respond honestly to your good judgment and

Bob Moore (EAA 113726, lC 3808), 916 South 12thSt., Nederland, TX 77627 restored this 1944 Beech DI7S,N4512N, SN 6737, for its owner, Mr. John Mecom, Jr.of Houston, TX. The Beech, which initially served in theNavy was a GB-2, has been in the Mecom family since1947. t was first re-covered in 1960, flown only five to10 hours, then stored until just recently.

Bob covered the Beech with Stits fabric and paintedit with Imron in the colors of Mr. Mecom's Boeing 737.Jess Shyrack (EAA 33078, lC 616), a retired AIm ricanAirlines Captain from Justin TX and also a Staggerwingowner, made the initial test flight after restoration andsaid the plane flew hands off

This 1946 Bellanca 14-13-2 Sr. Cruisair, NC86881, SIN 1243is powered with a 180 hp Franklin 6A 335B. It won the BestBellanca Award at Oshkosh '75, for owner Dan Cullman.

The Lewiston, ID/Clarkston, WA area is a "Bellancahaven. Dan Cullman (EAA 58058, N 814 ), 113 Richardson Avenue, Lewiston, ID 83501 sent the accompanyingphotos and describes the planes as follows:"I believe the 14-9 Junior is the only original 14-9flying . There were 45 made in 1939-40. There are othersin the process of restoration and still others flying withnon-original powerplants. I bought the Junior from ValBanes of Monett, MO in May 1976 and have been workingon it since."He hit the fly-in circuit with it in the late 50s until1961 when it was damaged in a landing accident inOklahoma. I t hadn't flown since until just this morning.

t made quite a few trips to Ottumwa and Rockford.Most of the photos in magazines and reference books

have this aircraft illustrated as it was the only activeoriginal-looking 14-9. There was a lot of origina lity aboutthis plane when I got it from Val and I've gone to greateffort to make it factory original, with very few con

Airline of Charlotte, NC in late 1940. t last flew withthe Lenape in the mid-fIfties, then was changed fIrewallforward to a Franklin 150.Through great pains and investigation I did fIndthe original cowling and engine for my plane. Un-

fortunately the engine was sold to a man in Oakland,CA who plans on using it in a homebuilt 58 scaleSopwith Pup. I'm pretty sad about that."I did get the cowl, which is different from the KenRoyce-powered 14-9. The previous owner had also sold thelanding gear, but other than the gear and engine,NC25314 is a viable project.

Another 14-9L, NC25315, SIN 1037 is owned by Mr.Karl Ascherfeld at Flabob Airport. It's in Ed Marquart'shangar and is undergoing restoration at this time.1941 Bellanca 14-12F3 Cruisair, NC28984, SIN 1054 ownedby Jay Cawley, Clarkston, WA.

Alsoinstalled were new magneto drives, seals and gaskets.In addition , small things like having the magneticcompass re-swung, new hinge-pins in the doors , etc.have been done. I suppose about the only thing left todo is add an anti-collision light such as a rotating beaconor strobe light. Just maybe, I might add an ADF. Question:do you ever really get everything done? Anyway, it isa rather nice airplane, to me at least, and isn't thatwhat counts in the end?Although much fun to fly, it was slightly out-of-rigat first and in trimming for straight and level, the ship
