BACK COVER: Boeing 314 Clipper is the title of George Guzzi's watercolor
of a pair of Boeing's famous flying boats. Always fascinated by the airplane,
he thought of it as the aeronautical equivalent of the Orient Express railroad.
Guzzi's work has been exhibited in books and galleries worldwide, and he
has been a member of the Air Force Art Program since 1967, contributing
more than 80 paintings. You can reach him at 11 Randlett Park, West

OTHER AIRVENTURE NOTES
If you've ever run into the situa
tion where yeiu plan on departing
with your airplane in the morning,
but don't wish to purchase a full
day's admission to the convention
(there are no refunds on weekly
wristband purchases), in the past it
has been awkward to gain access to
your airplane. Thanks to the re
sourceful staff members at EAA
Convention Headquarters, there is
now a procedure in place to accom
modate pilots who need to pass
through the admission gates on the
way to their airplanes. Check at the
VAA headquarters, and we will ex
plain the process and issue you the
proper credentials.
VAA Chapter 11 is embarking on
a new program to help transport pi
lots/crews and baggage to and from
their aircraft. Look for them in the
VAA minivan with the "Toni's Red
Carpet Express" magnetic signs.
The VAA picnic will be held at the
tent located just south of the pond
in the EAA Nature Center on Thurs
day, July 26. Tickets should be
purchased in advance and can be
bought at the VAA Red Barn.
VAA HALL OF FAME
Our congratulations to Ted Kos
ton, Melrose Park, Illinois, (VAA
131) and Roy Wicker, Quitman,
Georgia, (VAA 103) . They've been
selected to be inducted into the Vin
tage Aircraft Association Hall of
Fame. The induction ceremony will
take place during the fall 2001 board
meetings.
Ted's activity and support of the
vintage aircraft movement includes
his work as a photographer and his
torian. Roy's long tradition of
enthusiasm as he has helped fellow
members build replica aircraft and
restored antique airplanes often
meant his own projects were pro
longed, but he'd be the first to tell
you it was worth it.
We'll have more on the two hon
orees in later editions of Vintage

This year's EAA AirVenture Oshkosh promises to be a great year for lovers of rare and unusu
al airplanes. We've been told to expect an Avro Avian (in the marking of the Avian Amelia
Earhart used during her American tour), a Fairchild FC-2 (the first aircraft actually owned by
the CAA), most of the flyable Spartan Executives, a Vickers Vimy replica, and a Ryan M-1
mailplane. Still not enough to get you unfolding maps on the floor?
Take a look at the above photo. That's the Boeing 307 Stratoliner. Boeing only built 10 of the
airliners, and one remains, the very same one seen in this picture, Pan American's Clipper
Flying Cloud. The Stratoliner was the very first pressurized airliner, and its design was based
on the B-17 bomber. Painstakingly restored by volunteers at Boeing in the very same building
in which it was constructed, the restored airplane was rolled out in preparation for its shake
down flights on June 23. Destined for display in the new Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center of the
Smithsonian National Air and Space museum, the "new" airliner is scheduled for display at
EAA AirVenture Oshkosh. We'll see you here!

AN "AVIATION
FIRST" FOR 1954
by Mark Phelps
8 JULY 2001
It all started when I finally decided that dependable IFR transportation was
in my future. As an editor for a corporate aviation trade magazine, I have a
good excuse for using an airplane for my work, but I need it to be reasonably
reliable. I had owned a Grumman AA1-B Trainer for 19 years and loved it,
with its snappy handling, fighter visibility, and all the rest. But the Grumman
was not practical as a prospective IFR traveler for a number of reasons. Even
adding ILS equipment, IFR GPS, and the latest in moving maps wouldn't give
it range. I could add auxiliary fuel tanks, but that would cut the payload down
to Single-seater status. If anything, I could use a couple of extra seats. So the
little Grumman "kitten" had to go to a new home. I sold it to a good friend of
mine...who is still a good friend.
There's no doubt that [ have an itch to build an airplane, but not now. I
would love an RV-8, and I can easily see it as being my big retirement project.
But since I can hardly find time to cut the grass these days, the dream of
building an airplane will have to wait. I dallied briefly with my desire for a
Swift, but finally bowed to the pressure of having four seats available for extra
passengers.
At first, the obvious choice for a Grumman lover like me was either a Chee
tah (150 hp) or a Tiger (180 hp). (Earlier Travelers, produced before Grumman

hammer handle.
Later on, I stumbled across a book,
maybe in physics class, that ex
plained the principles of tool use. It
told me how most tools were and still
are derived from the lever and the
wheel. I wish I had that book today;
it would make writing this article
much easier. It was revelation, read
ing about early human achievements
and how humans adapted tools to
ease their way of life. If anyone has
access to this or other books on tool
history, I'd sure like to review them.
One of the greatest newer tools is
the screwdriver with interchangeable
bits. Seems like everyone of my
Phillips screwdrivers gets worn after a
while, and then they mess up the
heads of screws. I decided that all the
old Phillips screwdrivers were history.
I chucked them all, and now I have a
drawer full of replacement bits that I
automatically go for when the one
I'm using gets dull or worn. Okay, I
have to come clean. Bad habits are
hard to break-I did hide a few of the
old ones in the back of the drawer.
I know we've all seen the creation
of tools to do an immediate, can't
wait, job, but please, think for a mo
ment before you use a tool that isn't
the one for the job. Don't use an ad
justable wrench when the right and
proper size wrench is available. Don't
use a screwdriver as a chisel. Put the
hacksaw blade in correctly, and don't
use pliers in place of a wrench. Take
your time and use the leverage and
the wheel effect of your tools to your
advantage.
When you're working on an air
plane, remember, it was built piece
by piece, and it doesn't take a lot of
pounding and pushing to make it go
back together again. If it does, step
back and look. Take time to figure
out why.
Another great asset is the torque
wrench. If you don't have one, get
one. It's amazing how over torquing
can take place so easily. (Spark plugs
are some of the easiest to over
torque-you'd be amazed how 300 to
350 inch-pounds feels not quite tight
enough.) The charts and the books
tell us what torque to use on various
size bolts, spark plugs, valve cover
screws, and whatever else. Pay atten
tion and use the numbers. They were
achieved from experience, and that
information will keep you from hav
ing a bad experience. Finger tight
with a white knuckle grip might be
okay on a piece of farm equipment,
but never on an airplane.
Think I'm being too picky? You
won't the first time you strip out a
spark plug bushing because the spark
plug was over torqued by someone
who just wrenched until it squeaked!
Power screwdrivers can be your
airplane's worst enemy or its best
friend. I love them, but I do the final
torquing by hand . When I unscrew
something, I break it loose with the
hand screwdriver first. Sometimes a
power driver will jump out of the
screw head, and before you can catch
it, it can ream out the head and
maybe even do some handiwork to
the parent metal around the screw.
Use the proper tool. Don't impro
vise at the cost of your expensive
hardware. That's the word, and it's .. .
