EAA Comments Express Concern About ATl Harrison Ford to Chair Young Eagles Into 2009 Class BAirspace Change

EAAs Industry and Regulatory Afshyfairs department expressed concern about the way the FAA implemented a change to the Atlanta Class B airspace in October in comments submitted to the agency in December EAAs conshycern rests not only with the fact that the FAA excluded the general aviation industry and associations in the proshycess of writing the notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) but also that its reason for doing so was to prevent significant air traffic delays in the Nashytional Airspace System (NAS)

By excluding all other airspace usshyers the FAA disregarded its own guideshylines for input by those who will be affected by rule changes said Randy Hansen EAA government relations director EAA welcomes open goodshyfaith discussion of issues but unforshytunately situations such as what we see in Atlanta are a step backward

Dear HG Just read with much interest the

Follow the Swallow article in the November issue of Vintage

A beautiful airplane for sure and it brought back some fond memoshyries for me Back about October 1961 I had the good fortune to know lrv Siewert of Clinton Connecticut lrv had been restoring his 1927-28 Swalshylow for some time and had just been completed and shortly after Irv testshyflew the airplane he asked if I would like to fly it Well what kind of quesshytion is that I could hardly wait to jump into the cockpit and go up

It was a delight to fly This one was N4028 with a Curtiss OX-5 engine Yes it did handle nicely but was a hunter as far as pitch was concerned so one had to stay ahead of the airplane pitchwise

I have no idea where that ship could be now but last I remember Irv sold it to someone down south perhaps in the Florida area I wonder if anyone out there knows where it is and how it is And are there any other Swallows in existence and where could they be and what is their status

Cheers Ev Cassagneres

Hmm A Swallow you say Ev NC4028 is the registration Well it just so happens that its sitting (in our backyard lrvs old airplane was the basis for the restoration of the Swallow we now have on the flightshyline at EAAs Pioneer Airport The Swalshylow is all decked out in Varney Airlines air mail colors and its restoration was sponshysored in part by the United Airlines Hisshytorical Foundation a successor to Varney Airlines In this Jim Koepnick photograph a retired United Airlines character er capshytain Buck Hilbert cntises down the runshyway at Pioneer-HGF

The Blue Brute By Fred Furbee

A glossy dark blue fabric fuselage with silver color fabric wings was parked on the ramp It had a stout strong heavy brute appearance with a powerful Wright Whirlwind radial in its nose A speed ring circled the exposed cylinders The name of this handsome biplane was the Laird Speed Wing The name came from the thin airflow curve over the wind chord Around our little grass field this plane was called the Blue Brute and some old-timers said it was a killer in a spin

This Laird was owned and flown by a former major Army fighter pilot during WWI and around our field he was referred to as the major

Beginning in 1938 I hung out at our little Marietta Ohio grass strip I washed down planes and helped in refueling My very favorite airplane was the Blue Brute and many times back in the hanshygar several local boys would lift up the tail so I could clean the weeds from the curved steel dish under the tailskid

Starting the Wright Whirlwind was an adventure A hand crank was stowed in the cowling and after climbing on the lower right wing and inserting the crank into an open socket the strong arm work began The crank turned a heavy iron disc in the engine compartment and afshyter two minutes of cranking the iron disc would spin and hum the correct sound I would then call out conshytact and pull the engage lever The prop would make two turns and the engine would belch blue smoke and settle into a satisfying growl

On one occasion after cranking the starter the major motioned for me to climb in the front cockpit This wonshy

Editors Note This eighth installment of the Restoration Corner is the second part of a two-part article by Dip Davis describing the selection and installation of fabrics and finishes-GRC

Fabrics and Finishes and the Installation Thereof shyPart 2

If the chord of the wing you are covering is short enough to allow a 4-inch overlap at the leading edge a spanwise cemented seam is permitshyted eliminating the need for mashychine sewing Using this method the bottom surface of the wing is covered first Fabric is cemented at the trailing edge root rib and tip brought as far forward on the leading edge as it will reach and cemented to the leading edge skin with a 12-inch to one-inch wide glue joint Do not cement to the entire skin subsequent coats will proshyvide all the adhesion needed

This fabric is heat tautened before the installation of the top cover to eliminate all wrinkles from the overshylapped area

If the fabric is wide enough to cover the entire leading edge skin the line will be invisible under the upper fabric If however it reaches only part way to the front spar an unsightly ridge will be left in what may be a critical airflow region This can be minimized by constructing a ramp of chafe pOint tape or even hidden completely by applying a coushyple coats of primer to the edge and carefully sanding to a smooth line The top fabric is applied over this and subsequently a spanwise 4-inch surshyface tape centered over the seam line on the underside

Heat-tautening is probably the most rewarding step in the entire cover process (Read most fun) You get to see almost instant results with

relatively little labor input Please dont use a heat gun for this purpose even if friends tell you they achieved good results using one a hair dryer doesnt develop enough heat and a commercial heat gun concentrates too much hot air on one spot and is difficult to control

It is important that every square inch of the fabric be subjected to a 400-degree treatment and this is easshyily accomplished with a household iron If Mama uses her regular iron for ironing clothes you should probshyably acquire one of your own If you must buy a new iron you may find that the newer lightweight relatively inexpensive units are rated at 1000 watts or less and these wont get the job done Look for the one that draws 1100 watts or more It need not have steam provisions although nearly all current production models appear to have this feature

Since all the synthetic aircraft fabshyric application instructions specify tautening temperatures in degrees and all the irons Ive ever seen are lashybeled in fabric types with a fairly broad range in each fabric it will be necessary to calibrate the iron with a reasonably accurate thermometer If you dont have access to a sophisti shycated laboratory quality test unit a candy thermometer or similar glass tube type will serve the purpose

First check the thermometer in boiling water (212 degrees F at sea level) then check your iron by setshy

ting it on the thermometer on a stack of paper towels Allow the tempershyature to stabilize at a medium low setting adjust the knob to give an inshydicated 250 degrees and watch to see that the thermostat sets the temperashyture within plus or minus 15 degrees Make a reference mark on the iron at this setting and repeat the procedure for 300 and 400 degrees Consistent performance can be expected from most irons until they are dropped or become old and tired

Proper procedure for the tautenshying process consists of ironing the entire area at the 250 degree setting increasing the heat to 300 going over the surface once more and finishing with a third pass at 400 degrees Little corner wrinkles and puckers can get preferential treatment and if absoshylutely necessary the temperature can be increased very slightly for a stubshyborn spot

Exercise caution at this pOint however as the fabric will melt at 450 degrees If it gets to the meltshying pOint and doesnt progress to an obvious hole close inspection will reveal that the threads have melted together You can probably punch out the melted section with finger pressure Just do a neat job of applyshying the fabric in the first place and youll never be tempted to crank the iron past 400 degrees

If projections such as strut fittings have been covered over these should be cut out before the final ironing is

done Brush a little adhesive or first primer coat on the area (depending on the finishing process being used) before making the cut to prevent the edges from fraying After the cut has been made the localized loose area can be tightened up again by addishytional application of the iron

If you plan to use an all dope sysshytem on your airplane it is not as imshyportant that the entire surface be ironed at 400 degrees as the dope will exert some degree of tautening action even though it is labeled nontautshyening If however you are finishshying with one of the newer technology

the film Coopers Dacproofer was an early solution to the penetration problem it is a relatively slow drying cellulose nitrate base product tinted blue so that proper penetration is readily apparent

It is possible to get carried away with brushing or rubbing in of the first coat and force enough material through the weave to permit drips onto the back of the opposite surface Doing so will leave blisters which are difficult to hide in the finish coats A home-brewed concoction of nishytrate dope with retarding thinner will serve the purpose but starving or

coating systems and you dont ---- apply the final temperature to the entire surface you may come out to the airport some chilly morning to find the fabshyric gone slack [n severe inshystances it may be unsafe to fly until the sun can warm things up again

When heat-tautening preshysewn envelopes be sure to keep an eye on the seams as the fabshyric shrinks As the seam begins to deviate from a straight line apply the iron to the opposite side until it is back in place Dont concentrate your attenshytion on one small area for a long period of time but keep an eye on the big picture

After all the ironing is done and loose edges are trimmed off or ceshymented down its time to step back and admire the pretty pieces Looks as if you could just assemble everything and fly not quite yet Stop dreaming and start uglying things up

Up to this point the procedures are pretty much the same no matter what finishing system you plan to use but the next step will vary with materials Using the new all urethane finish the tapes are next while with conshyventional dope finishing and many proprietary systems the first prime coat is applied at this time Whatshyever material is being used it is vital that the liquid be forced through the weave so that it can bond with itself on the backside of the fabric thus wrapping each individual thread in

overloading is hard to discern due to the transparency of the film

Securing the fabric to the wing ribs is the next step Refer to the old cover which you stashed in the rafters to see how and where it was done beshyfore Conventional rib stitching is such a tedious time-consuming opershyation that nearly every aircraft manshyufacturer tried alternate methods Screws rivets and various shapes of wire clips were employed with varyshying degrees of success

The traditional method must be employed on all wings with wood ribs Interest in learning this skill draws crowds to Jeri Goetz fabshyric workshop all week long at every EAA Oshkosh Convention We wont dwell on the proper methods of pershyforming this task as its all in the book (AC4313-IA)

Surface tapes of appropriate widthshymostly 2-inch - are applied over each rib seam and corner A lot of folks like to apply a spanwise tape at the leading edge for additional abrasion resistance but this is not mandatory if you wish to maintain an unintershyrupted airflow Dacron tapes in most brands are available in straight edge or pinked edge The straight edge is cut with a hot blade which seals the threads and prevents unraveling Pinked edges are cut to simulate cotshyton tapes if the traditional appearshyance is desired This tape is not only more expensive its also generally

more troublesome to apply We have found the use of a

3-inch wide disposable short nap roller really expedites tape application A swath of dope or adhesive is rolled on where the tape is to be applied then the tape is laid down and anshyother coat of dope rolled on top This squeezes the air bubshybles out quite effectively and saves a lot of rubbing down with the fingers

Bias-cut tapes make neat curves on tip bows and similar shapes but due to the fact that they are cut diagonally across a roll of fabric a sewn joint is required at intervals and one

often finds a seam at the most awkshyward spot Similar results can be obtained by using the next wider width tape cementing the center only about a 12-inch wide to the tip bow and allowing the cement to dry with the tape standing pershypendicular to the surface The iron is then applied and since the tape is unable to shrink lengthwise beshying cemented down the edges will curl around a reasonably tight rashydius without the necessity of cutshyting darts or notches Adhesive can then be brushed under the tape edge or squeegeed through the top surshyface The total width will be reduced about 20 percent which is the reashyson for selecting the wider tape

Drain grommets inspection rings and fabric doublers around protrushysions are installed at this point in the

6

proceedings Dont spare the drain holes Refer to the old cover and inshystall them wherever the last guy did If there is a possibility of moisture collecting on both sides of a lower structural member stick a grommet on each side of it After completion of the finish coats the center hole should be cut out with a fine blade Exacto knife or similar tool rather than punching through leaving a ridge which would impede free flow

Inspection rings are soluble in dope and cement solvents so if that is the finish you are using care must be taken to prevent curling of the ring when the finish dries One method of avoidshy

the finish color is applied if you want them to be less conspiCUOUS

Build-up or filler coat application begins after everything is stuck on Old grade A cotton enthusiasts may feel that they are not doin right if they dont brush on a few coats of clear dope before spraying anything If you subscribe to this school of thought be sure you use a highly plasticized nontautening dope as the very process of brushing the mateshyrial will accelerate the shrinking of the fabric The DacprooferSpraFill manual calls for an all spray applica-

Precut cotton patches for this purpose are no longer available from most supplishyers We have found a better method using Dacron fabric which also lends itself to the odd shaped doublers you will need around strut fittings etc Staple or tape a piece of fabric over the open end of a cardboard box iron it lightly to reshymove any wrinkles and coat it with Dacproofer or your other primer (thinned U-500 adhesive if you are using Superflite System II) When this is dry you can draw the desired outshyline in pencil and cut out with ordishynary straight bladed scissors without any unraveled edges A 2- pound cofshyfee can makes the right sized inspecshytion ring doubler

The points at which cables exit the fabric such as the rudder cables in the aft fuselage require more beef than just a second layer of fabric A suitshyable device can be fabricated by cutshyting a teardrop shape from a scrap of leatherette or similar upholstery mateshyrial On production J-3s Piper applied these in black after the last coat of yelshy

Sanding on the fabric surfaces can be a fooler if you are not familiar with the process Wet-or-dry sandshypaper with a grit in the neighborshyhood of 220 is a good place to start Use plenty of water to keep the paper from loading Youll find that you can lean hard on the sandpaper and rub till your arms tire in the unsupported areas between ribs and stringers but one swipe over a solid structure will remove the finish clear down to the fabric and can even cut the fabric if not approached with caution

Sanding should be concentrated on the edges of the tapes and doublers to minimize ridges If care was taken in the applishy

tion and all of the filler coats are of a lightly pigmented aluminum dope A minimum of three coats is apshyplied and unless you are striving for a showplane finish sanding between each coat is not necessary

It is common practice to hang wings vertically by attach fittings and aileron hinges This allows both sides to be sprayed at one time rather than having to wait for one side to dry before turning the surface over It is easy to shortchange the leading edges when hanging and this is the area which should perhaps get more finshyish than the rest of the wing Clever airplane rebuilders particularly those who plan to do more than one projshyect construct a fixture that allows the wing to be rotated like a chicken on a rotisserie The fuselage may be hanshydled the same way even more easily so long as the engine is removed Merely bolt two 2 x 4s vertically and two horishyzontally on the engine mount The

the finish color is to be cream or yellow a first coat of white will provide a much better fishy

nal appearance with less material as the yellow pigments generally have poor hiding properties

The urethane finishes will give inshystant gratification in the gloss departshyment while a decent shine in dope finish requires much rubbing and polishing Some semblance of a gloss on pigmented dope may be obtained by coating with clear dope reduced with retarding thinner Of course youre anxious to get the pieces asshysembled in a shape resembling an airplane again but remember its a lot easier to polish the individual surshyfaces in your shop than standing tipshytoe on a shaky stepladder out at the airport The importance of a coat of wax on a doped finish cant be overshyemphasized If youve got some eager youngsters who would like to trade polishing for an airplane ride conshysider yourself lucky and put them to work Keep it clean keep it waxed keep it hangared and you can keep

low dope They looked like a trim acshy tail post can rest on a sawhorse in eishy from having to this all over again for cent You may cement them on before ther the upright or inverted position years to come

years with these airlines as he moved from DC-3s to Boeing 727s Reflectshying upon those days in a gentle tone he says he never changed jobs in all those years but I changed company uniforms five times

As a tribute to his fulfilling cashyreer Lundeen requested a special registration number for the HowardshyNC727ST (727 for the airliner and sierra tango in honor of his wife Suzie whose nickname is Teeny) And the Howards yellow and blue color scheme harkens back to his flyshying days with Hughes Airwest

Buy a Project The Lundeens decision to buy

a Howard DGA was based partially upon the sound advice of a friend Ron Peck coupled with Fred Lunshydeens own preferences for a relatively economical fixed-gear radial-engined airplane Ive always had a certain love for Howards because of their

beauty and reputation he reflects so Suzie and I spent the best part of two years looking for a flying Howshyard and eventually realized that there wasnt one flying and available that Id want to own The primary solushytion to that dilemma proffered by the same friend was to buy a projshyect and restore it-that way Lundeen could not only be sure of its airworshythiness but also incorporate specific features that he wanted But at first the idea just didn t seem viable After all he had never tackled an aircraft restoration and it would also mean initially logging more hours working than flying

Yet after some consideration he warmed to the challenging idea and Suzie who was interested in aviashytion and had taken some flying lesshysons staunchly supported him They looked at several projects and finally bought one from Les Sargent in Oklashyhoma City Oklahoma When the

Lundeens acquired it Sargent had already had the wings restored by Jack Swartz of Grove Oklahoma but there was still considerable work to be done along with miscellaneous parts that had to be procured Nevshyertheless the Lundeens were ecstatic as they drove the large rental truck packed with pieces and parts to their home in Olympia Washington in late October 2001

We were just so excited we were on top of the world shares Suzie with a childlike enthusiasm echoed by her husband Laughing he explains We didnt even know where we were going to put it together-but it didnt matter because we owned a Howard As it turned out a kind gentleman by

the name of Ron Wright invited Lunshydeen to use a corner of his large comshymercial hangar in Olympia Lundeen gladly accepted the gracious offer and personally commenced work on the Howard fuselage in the luxury of a heated hangar

A married couples teamwork can facilitate the workflow of such a projshyect even if one person doesnt have hands-on involvement When we decided to do it I was totally behind him shares Suzie elaborating that my time was spent fixing meals and all of a sudden I found myself doing yardwork I hadnt done before Hed come in pretty exhausted at night so my part was providing emotional supshyport and encouragement rather than

actually working on the project Lundeen shared various facets of

the project with her piquing her inshyterest and keeping her abreast of his progress on even the smallest details He would come home and show me old grungy parts recalls Suzie with a smile and then proudly show them to me again when they were bead blasted and looking clean as new And she became even more familiar with the depth and breadth of the project while faithfully typing all of his daily work-log notes

Powerplant and AirfraIIle While Lundeen was present

through every hour of the 7000 projshyect hours spanning four and a half

years he explains thatnot every hour is mine because of the wonderful mechanshyics that came into my life with a lot of knowledge and interest in the projectshywe didnt really seek them And thank God for them and their expertise beshycause without them we wouldnt be flyshying today

When it came time for the sheet metal work and wiring airframe and powershyplant (AampP) mechanic John Miller of Tumwater Washington stepped into the project He expertly formed all of the sheet metal firewall aft making the fuselage look brand new again with its smooth sides and deep window frames Miller did all of the extensive electrical work and also restored the wheelpants to like-new condition

The new left-side skin held in place by Cleco fasteners

The instrument panel which had been cut full of holes and was pockmarked with numerous dents was itself in dire need of a makeover We took that panel to Alyn Swedberg of Centralia Washingshyton whos a magician with metal deshyclares Lundeen adding he straightened it out and even did some welding on it which is difficult on thin-wall alumishynum He also reworked all of the fairings and the engine cowling making them as good as new

able ta lents came into play when the Lundeens were ready for the upholshystery and cabin interior Jan Stroh of Seattle was one of the real delights during the restoration smiles Suzie Stroh designed and sewed the combishynation leather and fabric interior and embossed the Howard logo on the baggage compartment and rear seat She specializes in antique airplanes explains Fred and for a short time she did work for the late Clayton Scott who at one time owned all five of the Howard type certificates

And there were several others who helped as well including the projects previous owner ilLes said he would provide some of the missing parts or help us find parts for it and he has done that throughout the project exshyplains Lundeen elaborating he also identified certain pieces and how they fit together and gave us all the related paperwork he had accumulated

Howard Hurdles A year and a half into the project

the Howard fuselage and tail group was damaged by acid smoke when the hangar caught fire and smoldered one long winter night Lundeen was disheartened when he discovered that all of the DGAs exposed metal was covered with rust or corrosion from the smoke but it wasnt long before Tim Weston of Yelm Washshyington was on the scene and offering his help Together they completely disassembled the aircraft and then Weston generously made room in one of his hangars for Lundeens project where the fastidious cleanshyup process continued for three and a half months until the restoration was back on track at this new location

Perhaps one of the other most challenging aspects of the restoration involved the wings Lundeen says that some work was required to allow the wings to precisely mate with the fuselage and he also had to create a new hole for one of the tie-down rings due to incorrect placement of nut plates on the inside of the wing

This Howard carries 151 gallons of fuel and burns around 24 gph while cruising at 170 mph true airspeed Lundeen has been crazy about radials since he first began flying as a bush pilot

The retractable landing lights also reshyquired a great deal of time to make them work correctly-things like that really slowed me down

Modifications These days it isnt uncommon to

find modifications to antique aircraft that have been made with safety in mind To that end youll find modshyern avionics and instrumentation in NC727STs instrument panel includshying a Garmin GNS 430 GPScomm nav with glides lope a GTX320A transhysponder an ICOM ICA200 transshyceiver and a JPI FS4S0 electronic fuel computer Additionally Lundeen had a Jasco SO amp alternator and Airwolf oil filter kit and airoil separator inshystalled on the R-98S

Miscellaneous modifications for pishylot and passenger convenience include a glove box in the panel cup holders for those long flights BAS inertial-reel shoulder harnesses and armrests for the front seats and the installation of an external power receptacle

Airframe enhancements include Cleveland wheels and brakes and

Whelen strobe lights Especially noteshyworthy are two other features which involve the DGAs flight controls Lundeen installed servo-actuated rudshyder trim which this Howard didn t originally have It can be difficult to obtain FAA approval for the modifishycation of control surfaces reflects Lundeen but fortunately there were other Howard owners who had done this before me so [ was able to use their Form 337 as a basis for approval That was a great help but [ still had to rewrite the form three times before receiving approval

The second feature is a rare one for Howard DGAs-although others may wish they had it I installed a brake system on the right-hand side prishymarily so I could teach my son to fly it smiles Lundeen gently elaboratshying with a fathers pride there wont be many people if any that Im goshying to check out in our Howard but hell be one He was the yo ungest Lear captain in the world at one time and is now flying for Aloha Airlines He doesn t have any tailwheel time though so [11 start him in a Cessna

Nuggets of Knowledge With a knowing smile born of reshy

cent hands-on experience and newly acquired knowledge Lundeen conshyfesses that when I started this projshyect 1 really didnt know that I didnt have the ability to do it Perhaps parshytially because of that realization both he and Suzie are quick to affirm that the entire project was worth it withshyout question The rewards have been enormous ever since we showed it for the first time at the warbird fly-in at Olympia-weve been overwhelmed with compliments

If you ever have the opportunity to meet Lundeen at a fly-in youll notice that he cant help but sport a rather spontaneous smile when hes talking about the Howard After all he simply delights in flying his first airplane-an experience no doubt made sweeter by Suzies enthusiastic support and his own intensive labor throughout the restoration

BENDIX MODEL 52 A promising postwar design

BY MARK SAVAGE

Two years ago while visiting my fashyther and stepmother in Florida I met a man named Vern Biasell an aeroshynautical engineer who had worked on some of historys most enduring and interesting aircraft Last March I went back to Florida and spent the better part of an evening talking with Mr Biasell about some of the famous airshyplanes hed worked on However one airplane he worked on never got past the prototype stage This attractive and innovative bird captured my atshytention It was the Bendix Model 52

Mr Biasell had begun aircraft deshysign and engineering for the Stinson Aircraft Company in 1937 working for Mr Athanas Oack) Fontaine Mr Fontaine was chief engineer at Stinshyson at the time and had been responshysible for the Voyager series Mr Biasell was project engineer on the Reliant and later the L-5 and as we talked Biasell took a moment to reminisce

The Model 52 with propeller hub extension

about the Sentinel According to Mr Biasell in 1940

the Army was in the market for an observation plane It had written specs and was starting tests on several prototypes supplied by competing aircraft companies Stinsons entry was the 0-49 later known as the L-l However some engineers at Stinson believed the Army was asking for an airplane that was too large and exshypensive for its intended purpose As a result a request was made to top management for expenditure of comshypany funds to demonstrate their enshygineering concept Authorization was given and with Vern Biasell as project manager a demonstration prototype was built and flown just 28 days later It was highly successful and shown to the Army during the 0-49 flight trishyals Army interest was aroused in this flying jeep version of an observashytion plane which became the famous

L-5 and production began Mr Biasell was involved in other inshy

teresting projects during the war but as the conflict drew to an end many companies a nd aircraft designers looked forward to the postwar period At the end of World War II market surveys indicated that a two-place allshymetal retractable aircraft would sell briskly in the anticipated postwar avishyation boom The Bendix Corporation like many other businesses made plans to build and market general aviation aircraft to fill the proposed needs of the many military pilots who were soon to return to civilian life Mr Jack Fontaine was hired from Consolishydated-Vultee to head the new Bendix Aircraft venture along with Mr Biasell who was then at the General Motors Research Laboratories

Designed in July 1945 the Bendix Model 52 prototypes were engineered by Mr Biasell and built in 1945-46 at

REPRINTED FROM Vintage Airplane AUGUST 1986

16 FEBRUARY 2007

the Bendix Experimental Engineering Department at 261 McDougal St in Detroit Michigan The Model 52 was a low-wing all-metal airplane with sideshyby-side seating and retractable tricyshycle landing gear Wingspan measured 33 feet 3 inches length 22 feet with an empty weight of just 1043 pounds Target price was $3900 and the means by which Bendix and Biasell intended to meet that price is intriguing

What should make the Model 52 interesting both to homebuilders and those interested in vintageantique airplanes is that Mr Biasell designed the Model 52 to use automotive-style high-production techniques These techniques not only lent themselves to economic mass production but also kept the weight low without sacshyrificing structural integrity

Figure 1 illustrates the difference in design between the BiasellBendix Model 52 (top) tail feathers and those of a conventional aircraft Note that both horizontal stabilizers and the vertical fin are identical one piece can serve as either stabilizer or fin And not including the skin each unit totaled just 12 parts The fuseshylage was designed along the sa me lines (Figure 2) and used rolled skin to form the stringers

But perhaps the most interes ting part of the design was that of the wing As shown in Figure 3 the wing consisted of two spars seven ribs set at 45-degree angles to each other end cap aileron and flap assembly and leading edge for a total of 19 parts per wing not including skin or landshying gearretracting m echanism The

wings used a modified Goettingen section up-swept at the trailing edge to flatten the stall curve According to Mr Biasell the airplane was virtushyally spin-proof Moreover it had very gentle stall characteristics and mainshytained aileron control throughout the stall The Model 52 could be flown at very high angles of attack without dropping a wing or surprising its pishylot with an abrupt stall An article on the Bendix Model 52 in the Septemshyber 1971 issue of The Great Lakes Flyer notes that the 52 had full length aishylerons (that) could be drooped to serve as landing flaps which reduced the stall speed from the 53 mph to 47 mph a highly imaginative design feature for a general aviation producshytion aircraft

Figure 4 illustrates the method of production that had been proposed The rear fuselage wings engine cover and cockpit areas were to be built as separate units then joined to the keel at the end of the assembly line The cab was to be lowered onto the assembly just as automobile bodshyies were lowered onto frames in autoshymobile assembly plants

The other picture shows the clean lines of the Model 52 long wing and outward retracting gear It was powshyered by a 100-hp Franklin and accordshying to Biasell had a maximum speed of 154 mph It cruised at 140 and climbed at 900 fpm The original deshysign called for a 6-inch propeller hub extension shaft which gave the plane a more streamlined appearance But later to reduce manufacturing costs the extension shaft was eliminated and the nose of the Model 52 took on a more conventional appearance The shorter nose also reduced the maxishymum airspeed to 148 mph which was the maximum speed indicated by The Great Lakes Flyer article

The first Model 52 NX-341l0 was flown by Bendix chief test pilot Al Schramm in December 1945 just five months after the first design sketches were laid down The prototype had been trucked across the Detroit River to Windsor Airport in Canada for the flight Mr Biasell noted that the Windshysor Airport was chosen because it was

close by and offered a degree of secushyrity against the press and competitors By September 1946 two other protoshytypes were built and the Model 52 had completed all but the final flight tests for an approved type certificate Sevshyeral hundred toolmakers were working on production tooling when Bendixs new top management abandoned the personal aircraft field

The new management worried that a successful Model 52 would make Bendix Corporation a competishytor of other airframe manufacturers that were customers of Bendixs other divisions Accordingly management decided that situation might hurt sales in those other departments and so in September the board of direcshytors announced that the Aviation Deshypartment had to be disbanded The prototypes were stored for six years and then donated to the University of Michigan Wayne State University and the Detroit Metro Aero Mechanshyics High School

The aviation community obvishyously lost out on an innovative and interesting airplane when Bendixs top management decided to abanshydon the Model 52 it was an attracshytive machine and offered a high level

of performance for its time However in light of the postwar general aviashytion fizzle abandoning light aircraft manufacturing was probably a wise business decision But just looking at these pictures and talking with Mr Biasell about the design features and production techniques of the Bendix Model 52 made me wonder if these ideas arent worth a second look It would be a shame to forget this intershyesting machine and the innovative and futuristic production techniques inherent in the design

During the time the two Bendix Model 52s were undergoing flight tests two four-place aircraft were beshying designed and built Known as the Model 51 and 51A they were allshymetal twin-boom pushers with reshytractable tricycle landing gear

Maurice Mills 12th from the left in the photo of the Bendix Aviation Department was chief engineer for these planes Mr Mills had worked with Bill Stout the designer for the Ford Tri-Motor Later he worked at Stinson and after the war of course went to Bendix

Construction of the pushers was similar to the Model 52 the wings were of diagonal rib design and em-

ployed the same modified Goetshytingen airfoil (Bendix 416 airfoi I) section And like the Model 52 autoshymobile-type assembly line techniques were to be used to build the planes This would make it possible to ecoshynomically build either a landplane or amphibian from the same basic airshyframe the upper fuselage could be joined to either type of lower fuseshylage during assembly because except for the lower fuselage wingtip floats and longer landing gear of the amshyphibian the major assemblies for the two aircraft were identical

Only one of each type was built The land plane was flown for approxishymately 25 to 30 hours (Biasells estishymate) at the Willow Run Airport at Ypsilanti Michigan The amphibian was never flown only preliminary taxi tests were conducted The hull was developed and the hydrodynamic characteristic tests conducted using models at the Experimental Towing Tank Stevens Institute of Technolshyogy in Michigan

As Mr Biasell put it in his note to me (this) is a little of the very meager information available Basic tests were so preliminary (when the decision was made to cancel the aircraft program) that no decisions on the future of these designs had ever been formulated

Like the three Model 52s after proshylonged storage (six years) both airshyplanes were given to universities for student instruction purposes

Theres nothing like a mileshystone anniversary to get the folks around liT-Town revved up Even in the early stages of planning for the 50th anshy

niversary of the Tulsa Regional Flyshyin Senior Co-chairman Charlie Harris observed that lithe harmony and spirit of cooperation that is presshyent within the planning committee is exceptional and a joy to behold

Those plans evolved into successshyful fruition on Friday September 22 2006 when the golden anniversary celebration of sport aviation comshymenced for the first day of its two-day fly-in All manner of aircraft winged their way over the Great Plains to alight at Frank Phillips Field (BVO) in Bartlesville Oklahoma

Verilable Showcase Bartlesville is well-known for its

annual ear ly-summer Biplane Expo and some of those biplanes returned in September enhancing the colorful array of antique classic experimental contemporary and light-sport aircraft that filled the grassy t ie-down area Additionally EAA Warbird Squadron 10 commanded an impressive presshyence-both on the ramp and pershyforming fly-bys-with three AT-6s a Harvard a Yak an L-39 Albatross and even the B-25 bomber Martha Jean

by FAA employees who volunteered their time and expertise to keep the grand old DC-3 airborne

There were many other historic and interesting aircraft on the field and fly-in announcer Bill Hare proshyvided expert commentary on these as he strolled up and down the tlightshyline microphone in hand In particushylar a small grouping of monoplanes

parked adjacent to the taxiway was an especially rare Sight-and perhaps marked the first time that these parshyticular airplanes have been on disshyplay side-by-side

These aircraft represented a timeshyline of the talents and craftsmanship of Jim Younkin of Springdale Arkanshysas beginning with the replica lowshywing open-cockpit 1929 Travel Air Model R Mystery Ship racer which he built in 1979 N482N was on display at the Arkansas Air Museum for many years until Younkin returned it to flying status recently so his grandson Matt Younkin could begin flying it during air shows Next came the repshylica of Benny Howard s 1934 Mister Mulligan which Younkin debuted in 1982 He built the replica as a tribute to the magnificent winning perforshymances of the original Mister Mulligan in the 1935 National Air Races That high-wing four-place cabin airplane won both the Bendix and Thompshyson trophies in 1935 It was destroyed when it crashed during the 1936 Benshydix Transcontinental Trophy Race hence Younkins replica helps keep this facet of air-racing history alive

The third example of Younkin s work was N274Y the Mullicoupe he designed and the late Bud Dake of Creve Coeur Missouri completed in 1997 Owned today by Mark Holshyliday of Lake Elmo Minnesota the Mullicoupe features the 450-hp Pratt amp Whitney engine and scaled-down wings of a Howard DGA artfully COffishy

ExhibhS Forums and AcUvilies This well-organized grassroots-style

fly-in attracted a wide variety of outshystanding aircraft but there were also classic automobiles and well-known aviation personalities to be found

bined with the scaled-up fuselage and tail of a Monocoupe creating a highshyperformance two-place rocket ship Most recent on this virtual timeline was Younkins singular orange Howard DGA-ll which started life as a ]acobsshypowered DGA-9 and was converted to a DGA-ll with a Pratt amp Whitney R-985 back in 1946 Younkin recently replicated a true DGA-ll tapered-style cowling for it giving this Howard a sleek original appearance

Speaking of timelines there was a remarkable reminder of the early days of aviation on the ramp in the form of an OX-5 powered ParkershyCurtiss pusher biplane Its uncomshymon to see a 92-year-old homebuilt at fly-ins these days and Lanny Seals project manager for the Phillips Peshytroleum Company Museum (schedshyuled to open in Bartlesville in May 2007) was eager to share information about it

Billy Parker built about 10 planes in Colorado between 1910 and 1916 and this is his design based on the Curtiss plans He strengthened the structure and he could loop and roll this airplane says Seals elaborating in 1927 he became the first manager of the Phillips Petroleum Companys aviation department Its covered in Irish linen and the wings were reshystored in the 1950s-but everything else is original including the tires that were made by Phillips 66 It went on display in the Oklahoma City Airport in 1965 and was later moved to the Oklahoma Air and Space Museum It will be on permanent display in our new museum here next year

Parker flew N66U (the number represents Phillips 66) at air shows from the 1940s up to 1960 as a novel way to promote Phillips aviation products According to Seals the plane would be dismantled packed in crates and hauled via truck to the next airport where it was reassemshybled and flown The presence of this 1914 Parker-Curtiss pusher plane was a welcome addition to the inshytriguing showcase of aviation hisshytory-from antiquity to modern day-that was displayed at the 50th Tulsa Regional Fly-in

An informal dinner was held on the field Friday evening and free ground transportation for pilots was provided to lodging in town and back to the field the next morning for those who elected not to camp by their aircraft On Saturday a wide variety of preshysentations were held ranging from World War I replicas and sport pilot

to aviation fuel and medical matters Type club forums included Cessna Luscombe RV Piper Cub Short Wing Piper Aeronca and Swift

Yet another forum An Hour With Jim Younkin offered attendshyees the opportunity to learn more about Younkins numerous aviation endeavors-most recently his sucshycessful autopilot bUSiness TruTrak Flight Systems Younkin who spent his time building model airplanes as a child learned to fly at the age of 25 in a 1946 J-3 Cub that he bought

Lunch was available on the field during the day on Saturday and the fly-in festivities and forums conshycluded Saturday evening with a reshyception and dinner at Bartlesvilles Hillcrest Country Club When the numbers were tallied there were 225 aircraft in attendance to help celebrate the Tulsa Regional Fly-ins golden anniversary VAA Director Bob Lumley who represented EAA Founder and Chairman Paul Pobershyezny (who was grounded by inclemshyent weather and unable to personally attend) presented the attendeeshyballoted Grand Champion Aircraft Award winners which are as follows

man of the Executive Committee or perhaps as co-founder of the National Biplane Association and Chairman of the Biplane Expo has fulfilled the role of senior co-chairman of the Tulsa fly-in for 26 years now Harris is also a 2006 inductee of the EAA Sport Aviashytion Hall of Fame and a lifelong aviashytion enthusiast who learned to fly a 60-hp J-3F Cub in high school He beshygan attending the Tulsa fly-in during the late 1950s and is well-acquainted with its genesis and evolution

The fly-in was initiated in a very informal way in 1957 by some ladies in Tulsa who wanted to have an aviashytion gathering Harris describes elabshyorating it was quite successful so in 1958 the men joined in the program and brought more airplane owners into it That was all done at Harvey Young Airport in Tulsa Then in order to attract more aviation supporters they held it in Okm ulgee one year Bartlesville the next then Riverside

Airport They were really interested in the versatility of it and encouraged different groups and personalities to attend In the early to mid-1960s Harvey Young Airport became home to the Tulsa fly-in where it stayed for about 10 years In 1972 it was moved to Tahlequah and it really blossomed there by the mid-1980s we were havshying more than 500 airplanes attend which was frankly beyond the capacshyity of the airport and local hotels We were invited by the Bartlesville Chamber of Commerce to relocate at Frank Phillips Field where we had already started the Biplane Expo in 1987 It was a perfect fit for us and

26 FEBRUARY 2007

weve been here for 13 years now His enthusiasm for the fly-in is easshy

ily contagious and his love for the event hasnt wavered in decades beshycause he realizes that it provides a huge opportunity to expose sport aviation to the public and especially to the kids Harris elaborates that he and EAA Chapter 10 members have worked diligently to bring a lot of fishynancial and accounting structure to the fly-in Since 1977 when I got inshyvolved weve never had a single year when the fly-in did not at least break even Part of the reason for that is that we try to pull upon the best talents that we have in all of those chapters

and involve their specialties in the flyshyin-whether it be airplane parking driving tractors bringing in guests or accounting And we have some very disciplined financial people who are professionally employed as CPAs or top business administrators

Volunteers Speaking of those volunteers you

might be surprised to learn there are between 250 and 300 devoted volshyunteers who keep things running smoothly throughout the event Harshyris explains Everyone of those peoshyple have a positive attitude which is a plus for sport aviation and will

hopefully enlist other people to come into this movement

When we advertise the fly-in our key point is that families and children can walk right up to the airplanes and have them explained to them says Harris adding for example this morning when the B-25 arrived we took a remote microphone and wa lked around it explaining what the a irshyplane is We interviewed the pilot and encouraged everybody to walk up and look in the bomb bay and the nacelles [wheel wells] Were just trying to proshymote grassroots and sport aviation to the best of our ability We dont go out and solicit major sponsors for our flyshyin so far weve tried to avoid giving it a commercial appearance We admit the public by donation but if they feel they cant make a donation they get to come anyway

Camaraderie Harris favorite part of the fly-in a

sentiment echoed by others is the people The sport aviation people who come to these events and bring such magnificent airplanes to share with evshyeryone-they are such special people And fly-ins are as fine an opportunity as we could pOSSib ly have to pass on the knowledge that all of us have to the oncoming aviation generations

Chet Peek of Norman Oklahoma an aviation author and member of the Oklahoma Avia ti on and Space Hall of Fame has been attending the fly-in since 1966 when it was held at Harvey Young Airport He says that he and his wife Marian have always enjoyed it and we enjoy the people Years ago we flew up here when I had a Taylorcraft F-1 9 It s just

customized Aeronca 7AC

a really good fly-in-weve made a lot of friends in Tulsa whom we didnt know in the Oklahoma City area

Perhaps 91-year-old Tex Hill of San AntoniO Texas best described the atmosphere at Frank Phillips Field He commented with out hesitation I was fortunate enough to be asked back here this year I was h ere last year and Ill tell you one of the greatshyest things about the Tulsa fly-in Its the camaraderie-it s different from any other air show Ive ever been to and Ive been to a lot of them Thats because the guys are kindred souls

they are people who have a real intershyest in restoring historic airplanes Its just a different deal here-Ive never been to another one like this

VIN TAG E AIRPLANE 27

A few weeks ago I had to fly with a client in his Panther Navajo from my home base at the Columbia County Airport just south of Albany New York to his winter home base of St Augustine Florida This is a trip we fly frequently and the entire trip including a half-hour drive at each end of the trip as well as the time to conduct a thorough preflight inspecshytion rarely takes more than a total of seven hours

Knowing that my client is typishycally very eager to be on the way as soon as he arrives at the airport I alshyways arrive early enough to have sufshyficient time to conduct the preflight inspection I learned early on in my flying career of the dangers of rushshying through a preflight With some embarrassment I will admit to havshying missed something important on a preflight inspection because of being in a hurry I have learned my lesson so I always arrive at the airport suffishyciently ahead of my client to be sure I am not rushed into missing anything during the inspection

This particular day the total doorshyto-door time was just under six hours thanks to some healthy tail winds for the first two-thirds of the trip The trip home however courtesy of a national airline that shall remain nameless was to take quite a bit longer In fact it took just a tad under eight hours for the door-to-door excursion to return to my humble abode But the fact that it took almost 2S percent more time to fly the same trip courtesy of the airshy

Distractions lines than it did in a private general aviation airplane was overshadowed by some of the things I witnessed and experienced on that trip home

it seemed to command so much of her attention

trying to hear on that miracle of modern

communication that she hardly ever glanced

at the airplane It all began with the absurdity of

the mentality I had to face as I went through the security check All I had with me was a large flight bag Inside of the bag were all the publications that I might have needed on the trip down to Florida This included apshyproach plates for the eastern third of the United States as well as en route charts sectional charts and airport facility directory (AFD) for any posshysible eventuality or diversion Then in one pocket was an assortment of flashlights in another my elecshytronic E6B and in a third my 396 GPS receiver along with its assortshyment of tangled wires for antennas and power

Also stashed inside the main comshypartment was my laptop computer that sad to say has become virtushyally indispensable to me (To think that not too many years ago I was of a mentality that a pencil and paper as well as two tin cans and some string were all that I would ever need to fulshyfill my communication requirements Little did I know ) Other commushynication devices in the bag included my cell phone and its charger a coushyple of extra pens and highligh ters and an old CD that I keep for use as a signal mirror In the two pockets remaining at either end of the bag were my headset in one and my dirty clothes from the day before stuffed in the other

Needless to say [ am always a wee bit anxious as to how those bastions of aviation security the Transportashytion Security Administration (TSA) checkpoint inspectors will react to this baggage If I intended to use an airline airplane for my own purshyposes I certainly had the tools to do so In fact on a previous airline excursion the TSA found one of those tools unacceptable and conshyfiscated my Leatherman despite my vehement albeit fruitless proshytests So I will admit that I was not that surprised to have them pull me aside on the far side of the baggageshyscreening device asking me if that big flight bag was mine

I had visions of having to repack everything so carefully so as to enshysure that it would all fit inside as

the inspector started her ardent rootshying in my bag My greatest fear was that she would have a problem with my GPS My protests of her trying to confiscate that should she chose to would be more than vehement However she passed right by it as well as all the other things that I had thought might present a problem This lady inspector was on a mission to find something even more threatshyening to the security of flight And then exclaiming Aha she held up a little stuff sack I forgot to mention in my description of the contents of the bag

Wedged into a crevice of the main compartment was a small nylon stuff sack Inside of that sack was the obshyject of her search The stuff sack conshytained a toothbrush a comb and a small tube of toothpaste Is this yours she asked taking the tube of toothpaste out of the sack as if it might belong to someone else Yes was my simple reply Well you cant take that on an airplane she said as if the tube contained explosives rather than some minty alkaline and mildly abrasive paste You can only take that on the airplane if it is inside a I-quart Ziploc clear plastic bag she said Hmm try as hard as I might I couldnt seem to visualize or conjure up how a Ziploc bag would provide the requisite protection from the poshytential explosive qualities that might reside in the baking powder ingredishyent of my toothpaste

I think you had better confiscate that tube then I said to the lady My flight is already boarding and I would hate to miss it for lack of a I-quart Ziploc bag With a smug acknowledgement that her mission had been successfully accomplished she allowed me to continue to my boarding gate

I was hoping my flight would leave on time so I wouldnt miss my conshynection at the midpoint changeover stop On the last flight with this airshyline we had sat at the gate for over an hour because one of the four lavashytories on board the aircraft was not functioning as it should I guess only three out of four lavatories functionshy

ing becomes a no-go item Thank God the potty chair residing in the seventh seat of the Navajo I had just flown was not on my inspection list We might have never gotten airborne if it had been

This time my flight miraculously departed on time and I arrived in Philadelphia with more than ample time to make my connection Thus I was able to observe the crew for that flight arrive and board the airshyplane From my seat in the terminal I was also able to observe the first officer as she walked down the outshyside stairway of the Jetway and comshymence her walk-around inspection of the airplane I did not expect to see her conduct a thorough preflight inspection of the aircraft After all it had just arrived at the gate a short while ago and I was sure that if there had been any major squawks (like a non-functioning lavatory) the crew leaving the airplane would have writshyten them up However I was not preshypared for what I did see

This young lady quite possibly a recent graduate of one of the numershyous flight academies that now promshyise a job with the regionals started walking around the airplane She had stuck a finger of her left hand in her left ear and to her right ear she held a cell phone It must have been awshyfully hard to hear anything on that cell phone as she walked around the airplane what with the auxiliary power unit of the regional jet runshyning as well as numerous other airshyplanes taxiing by In fact it seemed to command so much of her attenshytion trying to hear on that miracle of modern communication that she hardly ever glanced at the airplane r was shocked

r have certainly seen a wide variety of attitudes exhibited by pilots relashytive to inspecting an airplane There are some pilots who seem to adopt the attitude that kick the tires ligh t the fires is sufficient even on the first flight of the day Then there are the pilots that will conduct an inshyspection as thorough as the first preshyflight of the day even when they have just landed and only shut down

long enough to use the lavatory that they might have wished they had on board their aircraft

Certainly prior to our first flight of the day it behooves each and evshyery one of us to conduct a thorough preflight inspection We all have to guard against distractions and being in a hurry as we do this If you are bringing passengers along or a fellow pilot who might be sharing the flight with you be sure they do not keep you from paying complete attention to your inspection All it takes is one small distraction or being in a hurry to miss something that might make a big difference [My kids have known since they were little that when dad needs to do his preflight no interrupshytions are allowed The same holds from the beginning of the run-up until after takeoff once were outside of the traffic area and before I make my first call to the tower once were inbound A simple Its time to be quiet now and then Its okay to talk now does the trick-HGFJ

I cant help but wonder how many times a pitot cover was left on or cowl plugs left in or even worse yet gust locks left in place because of a quesshytion or comment spoken to the inshyspecting pilot in the midst of the preflight inspection or because the pilot was in a rush Just one small oversight has the potential to lead to catastrophic results r have seen more than one airplane rolled up in a ball because for whatever reason a gust lock had been left in place

We all know how complacency has the potential to lead to disaster and this is just as important when we inspect our airplanes as it is in every other aspect of aviation whether it be a thorough preflight inspection or just a walk-around after a pit stop So please take the ti me to be thorshyough in your preflight inspections even when blue skies and tail winds are beckoning

The Thing The things we did when we were young

Having done my fair share of flying o ld airplanes throughout t he New England area for the past

60 years I can recall a rather intershyesting flight I did with a couple of passengers (for hire) in myoId 1936 Ryan ST back in the 1960s

On this particular occasion I zipped up to an antique airplane fly-in a weekend affair at Orange Massachusetts On the flight up a formation flight at that was Bill Post in his DAR and another fellow in his Meyers OTW We all pitched tents under our wings and had a wondershyfu l time par for the course naturally

Up we went

and just as the

airplane reversed

itself and headed down I heard a

pIercIng scream

from the front

cockpit

Also par for the course was that I was a bit low on funds and needed such things in order to purchase fue l (cheap back then) and food

Sensing that many people there had never flown in an open-cockpit airplane I advertised rides in the Ryan at 5 bucks a head per hop over the beautiful countryside Mother Nature did cooperate that weekend and we had severe clear with a little wind

My first customer was an Air Force F-86 pilot who said he had never been in an open-cockpit airshyplane and would also like to try his hand on the stick So up we went

Another passenger about the same time was this New York fashion model with an obvious sense of humor

No radio or even an intercom in those days so the plan of action was to wiggle the stick when I would give it to him and hed do the sa me to return the airshyplane to me

Once we got airborne I decided to demonstrate the wonderful flying capabilities of the Ryan to thi s pilot with a few steep turns and a stall or two After I let him handle the ST for a few minutes I got it back and proshyceeded to demonstrate my favorite maneuver the name

Turning to her now

open-mouthed boyfriend I ventured

You never know do you

of which I did not know at the time and even today wonder about

Here is how it goes (kids dont try this at home)-straight and level cruise power stick neutral Then gradually coming back on the stick and likewise on the throttle When the ST pitched up at a 60-degree anshygle and at a near zero airspeed I would cut the throttle entirely kick hard-left rudder whereupon the Ryan probably in protest would do a 180 hang inverted for an instant at zero airspeed and then slide nose-first in the reverse direction Wow what a ride

After I landed the F-866 pilot handed me an extra 5 bucks and said-Please when you take my girlfriend up you just gotta do that thing maneuver for her

Well his girlfriend was this greatshylooking vivacious red-headed Pan-Am stewardess Both of them were at Orshyange to take sky-diving lessons from the local jump school 32 FEBRUARY 2007

Typical aviator garb not only from the 1930s but also from just a few years ago when a radio was seldom used and pilots wore dashing white helmets which were quite practical

I told the F-86 guy that I would do that thing only with another pilot so he slipped me another five spot With that I said Okay (yes I was a bit hungry) and up we went She wore a large white hard hat (for jumping) so I could not see her facial expressions even when she turned left or right in the front cockpit

So I first flew over the pretty countryside with gradual turns etc and at one point she did do a thumbs-up to indicate she was enshyjoying the ride

So I figured what the heck its time for the thing Up we went and just as the airplane reversed itself and headed down I heard a piercing scream from the front cockshypit and I said to myself She will never fly in a small airplane again

Not only did I hear the scream but also on the way down I noshyticed one of her arms and hand go up into the slipstream in what I thought was protest Cripes

Ive really had it now So all the way back to the field I did shallow turns and a real smooth landing on the grass

After landing parking and switching off the Menasco enshygine this Miss Luscious immedishyately climbed out on the wing and turned toward me I was expecting a big slap on the face or doing me in some other way so I cringed and awaited the onslaught

What happened She threw her arms around me thoroughly hugged me adding several out-ofshythis-world kisses and exclaimed That was the most wonderful airplane ride of my life I could hardly believe it

I never got their names or where they were from but I shall never forget it I decided then and there that the thing was well worth it Turning to her now open-mouthed boyfriend I ventured You never know do you ~

Coanda) designed by Henri Coanda a noted Romanian-born engineer scishyentist (and apparently gifted artist) in 1912 Six original Bristol Coandas were constructed during 1912 by the British and Colonial Aeroplane Comshypany Ltd (Bristol) at Filton Bristol England The first aircraft were given the works numbers 77 132 185 186 188 and 189 The photograph in Vinshytage Airplane is identical to that which appears on page 130 of Peter Lewis British Aircraft 1809-1914 A special version of the original machines with side-by-side seating was given the Bristol works number 80

The original Bristol Coandas were fitted with sO-hp air-cooled Gnome

Omega rotary radials In mid-1912 a further two machines were built for the August 1912 British military trials These aircraft had a reduced span (40 feet versus the original 41 feet 3 inches) an increased length (28 feet versus the original 27 feet) and the weight increased by 230 pounds (1000 pounds empty versus the original 770 pounds) The decrease in wingspan reduced the wing area from 275 square feet to 242 square feet Another significant change was the installation of an 80-hp Gnome Lambda rotary radial in place of the original 50-hp unit Given Bristol works numbers 105 and 106 (milishytary trials numbers 14 and IS respecshytively) the machines were flown by Bristol pilots Harry Busteed and James Valentine Unfortunately Valshyentine wrecked No 105 (14) on the first day of the trials The machine was then rebuilt with a fixed vertishycal fin placed ahead of the vertical rudder and continued to be flown by CH Pixton Prior to the trials sevshyeral vertical rudders had been tested In modified form with the fixed venshytral fin the all-moving rudder was moved forward of its original locashytion As such both aircraft were acshycepted by the RFC and assigned to No3 Squadron

Unfortunately success was shortshylived On 10 September 1912 a Bristol Coanda crashed near Wolvercote Oxshyford killing Lts CA Bettington and E Hotchkiss (Military Wing Royal Flying Corps) This accident followed a spate of other accidents which reshysulted in an unfortunate decision by the British War Office to ban the use of monoplanes The Admiralty howshyever continued to use monoplanes although none were Bristol Coandas Ex-military trials No 15 continued to soldier on as RFC serial no 262 with No3 Squadron although it is beshylieved to have flown no more than 15 minutes in RFC hands before being sent to the Royal Aircraft Factory on 20 February 1913 and finally struck off on 1 September Unlike No 14 which had been involved in the fatal crash No 15 was fitted with a vertical rudder of revised form that was used

on all subsequent Bristol Coandas No 14 also assigned to No3 Squadshyron prior to the 10 September 1912 crash was assigned the RFC number 263 (Britain s First Warplanes Jack M Bruce pp 96-97)

a stronger Grandsiegne steel undercarshyriage skids and were apparently the same as the side-by-side machine No 80 In italy the two imported Bristol Coandas were entered by the Caproni e Faccanoni Company in the April 1913 Italian military aircraft trails Given competition numbers 11 and 13 the aircraft were flown by British pilots Sidney Sippe and Collyns Pizey In earlier days Gianni Caproni was a classmate of Coandas in Belgium (Science University at Liege) The purshychase of two British-built machines and a license to build Bristol Coanshydas was due to the uncertainty of any Caproni machines being ready in time for the trials Given the Italian War Ministry prize of 10000 lire and a potential order for IS machines (10 for first place five for second place) this was not a trifling matter Unforshytunately neither machine was admitshyted to the final trials however the fuselage of works No 174 was apparshyently used successfully in a static load test at Mirafiori on 17 April

lilt is unclear as to how many Brisshytol Coandas were eventually built by Caproni According to British Aircraft Before the Great War (Michael H Goodshyhall and Albert E Tagg Schiffer pp 60-61) Caproni built only one Bristol Coanda However Aeroplani Caproni Gianni Caproni and His Aircraft 1910shy1983 (Museo Caproni Trento p 29) states Caproni eventually supplied several Bristols to the Army the milishytary flying field at Somma Lombardo near Malpensa becoming the seat of the Bristol Caproni monoplane school with Tenente (ie Lt) Renato De Riso as instructor Nevertheless the fuselage of the imported No 174 survives in the Caproni Museum the sole remaining Bristol Coanda artishyfact What is clear is that Caproni was entrusted with the maintenance of the Bristol Coandas Some are reputed to have been fitted with stabilators in place of the original horizontal stashybilizerelevators of the original mashychines Others were fitted with wheel brakes A few of the aircraft were apshyparently sent to Bristol at some pOint but they appear to have remained in use as trainers in Italy throughout the whole of 1914

In addition to Italy three Bristol Coandas were supplied to Romania The purported use of Bristol Coanshydas by Bulgaria and Germany remain elusive However Lewis states that the 1912 Improved Military Coanshydas were fitted with a revised rudder and increased wingspan of 42 feet 9 inches (as depicted in the Vintage Airshyplane photo) The Military Coandas were given the Bristol works numbers 118 121 122 123 131 and 142-154 All such aircraft were fitted with 80shyhp Gnomes with the exception of No Ill which was fitted with the inline water-cooled 70-hp Daimler engine taken from Gordon Englands Bristol GE 2 (ie Gordon England 2) Flown as No 13 during the 1912 British military trials No 111 also had a lengthened fuselage 30 feet 9 inches in length a reduced span of 39 feet 4 inches with a wing area of 260 square feet and a four-blade proshypeller The Military Coandas had a fuselage length of 29 feet 2 inches

VINTAGE AIRPLANE 35

a wing area of 280 square feet an empty weight of 1050 pounds with a gross weight of 1775 pounds The first Improved Military Coanda (No 118) had a maximum speed of 71 mph and cost 1400 pounds

With the demise of the monoshyplane in RFC service such was not the end of the Bristol Coanda

Following the crash of No 14 Bristol constructed seven BR 7 bishyplanes with 70-hp Renault or 90shyhp Daimler engines Five were to go to Spain but were not accepted Nevshyertheless the Admiralty had been imshypressed enough to order what was essentially a biplane version of the Improved Military Coanda similar to the BR 7 but known as the Brisshytol TB 8 (TB standing for tractor biplane) using the fuselage of Brisshytol Coanda monoplane No 121 Six converted Bristol Coanda Improved Military monoplanes fitted with a rotary bomb carrier (holding 12 10shypound bombs) designed by Coanda were sold to Romania Converted No 143 was sold to RP Creagh in July of 1914 and it was soon impressed for service in the RFC following the outshybreak of hostilities in August Several others on order were impressed in adshydition to Creaghs machine and were assigned RFC serials numbers 634 (Creagh) 614 615 and 620 At least No 615 was apparently fitted with an 80-hp Clerget rotary radial in place of the usual 80-hp Gnome Number 634 was tested at Farnborough in mid-August but was rejected as unshysafe by the RFC along with Nos 614 and 620 However the RNAS (Royal Naval Air Service) was still quite inshyterested and accepted Nos 614 and 620 as RNAS Nos 948 and 917 servshying at Eastchurch and Dunkerque by October 1914

A further dozen TB 8s were modshyified by Frank BarnwelC who had sucshyceeded Coanda at Bristol and were accepted by the War Office These TB 8s were fitted with ailerons in place of the original wing warping had stagshygered wings and a revised cowling Fuel capacity was also increased to 25 gallons Assigned RFC serials 691-702 the first was delivered to Farnborshy

36 FEBRUARY 2007

ough on 26 September 1914 with six more delivered by 17 October None however were taken on charge by the RFC All were reassigned to the RNAS and renumbered as Nos 1216-27 Some of these saw limited use in the early phases of the Great War serving at various RNAS stations However RNAS General Memorandum No 21 warned of the types basic unsuitabilshyity stating in part (the TB 8s auth) are machines which were purshychased for use as practice machines for advanced pupils They are not suitable for flying loaded full up with petrol and passenger and must not be used thus loaded except under exceptional circumstances by skilled pilots who understand that the mashychines are in an overloaded condishytion (for further details please see Jack M Bruces excellent book Aeroshy

planes of the Royal Flying Corps (Milishytary Wing pp 156-158raquo

The TB 8 had a span of 37 feet 8 inches a length of 29 feet 3 inches and a wing area of 450 square feet The weight was 970 pounds (empty) with a loaded weight of 1665 pounds The maximum speed was 75 mph 4 mph faster than a Bristol Coanda Improved Military Monoplane and could climb to 3000 feet in 11 minshyutes Duration was five hours

Born on 7 June 1886 Coanda first studied at the Technische Hochshyschule at Chariottenburg in 1905 This was followed by study at the Liege Science University In 1907shy08 he constructed a glider while livshying in Belgium (World War One Aero

No 97 September 1983 Coanda pp 17-23) He graduated from the Sushyperior School of Aeronautics (ecoLe

superieur de Laeronautiqle) at Paris during 1909 Prior to his association with Bristol Coanda had designed several other powered aircra ft noshytably a unique biplane powered by a hybrid turbine engine (the comshypressor was actually driven by a 50shyhp Clerget reCiprocating engine) Whether this machine actually flew is a matter for conjecture nevertheshyless it was displayed at the 1910 sashy

1011 de Laeronautique at Paris and is the aircraft for which he is usually

remembered Coanda next designed a unique twin-engined high-wing monoplane which also proved to be unsuccessful Two of these mashychines were apparently built and were possibly intended to serve as bombers Both machines were powshyered by twin 50-hp Gnome engines mounted on either side of the fuseshylage driving a single four-blade tracshytor propeller through a transverse gearbox and extension shaft

After the 1912 Bristol Coanda series of monoplanes Coanda deshysigned the BC 2 seaplane which was not built This was followed by two seaplanes fitted with a central main float numbered 120 and 121 by Brisshytol Harry Busteed nearly drowned in the crash of No 120 The second machine No 121 was rebuilt from one of the Bristol Coandas With a new fuselage it was delivered to the Admiralty on 2 January 1914 with works No 205 (naval aircraft No IS) and is sometimes known as the TB 8H (the H standing for hydro or hydroaeroplane a contemporaneshyous term for seaplane)

The Bristol Coanda GB 75 (the designation possibly standing for Gnome Bristol the 75 referring to the horsepower of the Gnome Monosoupape engine) was built for Romanian Crown Prince Canshytacuzene and was displayed at the Olympia Aero Show in March 1914 Like the T B 8 it was acquired for RFC service but disappears from available records early in the war The Bristol Coanda PB 8 (possibly Pusher Bishyplane 8) completed in 1914 (works No 99) was completed but not flown its engine being requisitioned for use by the British War Office A further deSign known as the RB was a second aircraft designed for Prince Cantacuzene by Coanda that was apparently never built

Returning to France Coanda deshysigned the Delaunay-Belleville bishyplane bomber in 1916 one of three aircraft types he designed for that company (they were primarily an aushytomobile manufacturer) A year later in 1917 Coanda designed the BN 2 for the French SIA company This

was a large night bomber (bombardashyment nuit) resembling the HandleyshyPage 0400 and was powered by two American 400-hp Liberty engines Still under construction at the time of the Armistice in 1918 the aircraft used a large amount of duralumin in its construction and was given a fashyvorable test flight report after the end of the war

Following the end of World War I Coanda engaged in a lengthy study of fluid dynamics which led to the design of a device for which he was granted a patent during 1934 In fact this discovery became known as the Coanda effect from about 1937 In 1935 Coanda apparently designed a circular planform aircraft which he called an Aerodine Lenshyticulara He returned to Romania in 1970 and joined the Bucharest Polyshytechnic Institute before passing away on 25 November 1972

Ironically the monoplane ban was not lifted until relatively late in the Great War (late 1916) when Brisshytol introduced the M1 (there were three variants the M1ABC) an advanced monoplane fighter powshyered by a 110-hp Clerget rotary rashydial (and capable of a maximum speed of 128 mph at 5400 feet) that saw only limited wartime use it is noted for being the first aircraft to fly over the Andes Mountains in South America when an example given to the Chilean government by the Britshyish was flown across by Us Godey and Cortinez on 4 April 1919 The six M1s given to Chile in 1917 were partial payment made by the UK in exchange for two warships commanshydeered by the Royal Navy at the start of the war that were being built for Chile at dockyards in England
