April Meeting The April meeting, held at the Bayport Aerodrome, was very interesting for the many members in attendance. Russ Faller, a retired TWA captain and an A&P, was the guest speaker. Russ is building an all-metal kit airplane, the RV-8. The kit is manufactured by Vans Aircraft and will cruise at 200 MPH with the 160 HP Lycoming engine that Russ has installed. He began the meeting by describing the RV-8 and its specifications. Russ answered members’ questions and then took everyone to his hangar to show how he was progressing with his project. It was enlightening to see an aircraft that was under construction and all the work and detail that goes into it. Russ hopes to complete construction by this summer and then fly it to his home in Florida. Everyone was impressed with the quality of the work that he has completed.
