EAA Business Meeting
Biplane Fly-In Special Guest
No Reservation Required
Like a bottomless cup of cof
fee, there's always room at Camp
Scholler for EAA members, their
family and friends before and dur
ing EAA AirVenture Oshkosh. Lo
cated on convention grounds, RV
and tent campers have access to
shower facilities, portable toilets,
an RV pumping station, and por
table pumping services. Early birds
can set up camp on June 24. Visit
www.airventure.org and click on the
Where to Stay link below the Plan
for It link for a map of Camp Schol
ler and guidelines.
Also, don't forget that we al
ways have room for showplanes
at EAA AirVenture. While the
airport may have to close to
transient campers and "modern"
airplanes that must park in the
North 40, if your airplane fits in
one of the VANs judging catego
ries (see the categories at www.
vintageaircraft.org), we'll find a
place to park you during EAA
AirVenture 2005. There is no
advance registration for show
plane parking; it is first come,
first served.

six-cylinder B6 model.
The A-4 engines were named "Pi
rate," and the first such engine is
now on display in the Dallas office
of Menasco Inc. The horsepower
then was increased to 95, and the
first of this model is on display in
the Smithsonian's National Air and
Space Museum. The success of this
engine necessitated moving from AI's
garage to a small factory on McKin
ley Avenue in Los Angeles. His work
force increased to 30 people. From
the outset, Menasco Motors tested
its engines at 125 percent of rated
power for 100 hours.
Al also pioneered the high
pressure supercharging of aircraft
engines, using manifold pressures
double those of other engines. This
with the inverted designs, small fron
tal area, and large propellers are usu
ally cited as the reasons behind AI's
ability to get higher performance from
an engine with a small displacement.
Al purchased all new manufactur
ing tools and machines and in a short
while assembled the finest and most
complete machine shop west of Chi
cago. This equipment later played an
important part in the transition of
the company from an engine man
ufacturer to the world's foremost
maker of landing gears. The Me
nasco engine became an immediate
success, and AI's shop was soon self
contained, making all parts in-house,
including the gears. His only compe
tition in later years was Fairchild, and
Sherman Fairchild became a lifelong
friend. Menasco engines were never
intended for racing, but because of

deemed sufficient.
"I had previously had acrobatic
lessons, being one of the very few
who learned to loop before the art of
taking off and landing. We had our
last show in Shanghai, where we had
a good field enabling me to solo, and
I was considered a full-fledge aviator.
"We arrived back in San Francisco
in November, both volunteering for
the aviation branch of the Signal
Corps. They turned me down be
cause of my bad ears-maybe they
were right, beca use my hearing is
still bad-and sent Art back to the
new Langley Field, Virginia, as a
test pilot.
"I joined the Canadian Royal Fly
ing Corps in Vancouver after being
turned down by the Navy. At Toronto
the RFC was adopting United States
procedures, so again I was grounded,
and I finally wound up at Langley
Field also, where I was put in charge
of engine testing and instruction for
the Signal Corps as an aeronautical
engineer with a civil service salary
of $1,800 a year-that was a great
thing-I was an engineer.
liMy work embraced some correc
tions to the Hispano-Suiza engines
then being built as the choice for a
fighter program, which led me to
joining the builders-the Wright
Martin Co.-who was the licensee
in the United States. Wright-Martin
later became the present Curtiss
Wright Co. who built the Wright J-5
engine that Lindbergh flew the At
lantic with.
"I decided to come home after
the war-we had trained 18,000 pi
lots in Jennys, and you could buy a
surplus Jenny for $350. Pilots were
a dime a dozen, giving passenger
rides for $5 from cow pastures all
over the country.
"I took a job as a machinist in a
shop on West Pico St. for 60 cents
an hour. Art stayed on, and the in
fant air mail was born. He flew the
mail. From the shop in Los Angeles,
I graduated to selling machine tools,
then started my own shop building
air compressors."

plane was signed back in service,
following a repair to the right wing,

which was "bent within limits for
cold repairs," was refurbished by the
Ford Motor Company at the Ford

ard, to Blakesburg
in 1979, and ended
up placing it in the
Arkansas Air Mu
seum in Fayette
ville, which he and
brother Jim helped
found in the late
1980s. Between the
two of them, they
had enough antique
airplanes to virtually
fill the museum's re
stored World War II
hangar from day one. On De
cember 28, 1997, Bob formally
signed over ownership of the
Howard to the museum.
Jim Younkin had his Mr. Mulli
gan and Travel Air Mystery Ship in
the museum, so he was frequently
in and out of the facility. And on
every occasion, his aesthetic sensi
bilities were offended by the big,
blunt DGA-15P cowling and large
wheelpants on what he considered
to be the otherwise sleek, narrow
fuselage, high-firewall NC18207 .
Jim was well versed in the his
tory of the early production How
ards and, in particular, how the
prototype DGA-11 came about...
and how it looked. That airplane,
NC14871, serial number 72, was
in his opinion the most beautiful of
all Howards . .. of all airplanes ...and
that's how he thought 18207 should
be made to look.
When Benny Howard conceived
of Mr. Mulligan and had Gordon Is
rael engineer it, he was already look
ing ahead to a production version ...
and, indeed, it soon appeared in
the form of the DGA-7 "Mr. Flani
gan." Unfortunately, however, that
airplane could not be certified in its
original configuration. The problem
was its relatively small vertical tail,
which was very similar to that of
Mr. Mulligan. The feds had come up
with a new rule that required an air
plane to recover, power and hands
off, from a six-turn spin in one-and
a-half additional turns, and to re
cover from a six-turn spin entered
with crossed controls within an ad
ditional six turns, again with power

im White's resurrection
of the legendary Mono
coupe, NCS01 W, made its
flying debut at the annual
Cactus Fly-In at Casa Grande,
Arizona, in early March.
This is the 1930 110 Mono
coupe Johnny livingston put
back through the Monocoupe
factory in 1932 to have its one
piece wing shortened from 32
to 23 feet, 2.5 inches. It thus be
came the first Clipwing Mono
coupe or, more properly, Mono
coupe 110 Special.
In 1933 Livingston sold
501 W to Jack Wright of Utica,
New York, who entered it in the
England-to-Australia MacRob
ertson Race in 1934. He and John
Polando would get as far as India,
where they had to withdraw after
the airplane was damaged.
Shipped back to the United
States, it was repaired and

MAY 2005
While getting the Taylorcraft ready to fly, I needed to make some accom
modation fo r a radio , a requ irement for the Ke nosha airport , which has a
control tower. I didn't want it to be lying on the seat, with a rat's nest of wires
and such.
My solution was to purchase an IC-A22 ICOM handhel d t ran sceiver,
wh ich normally has an 8-inch antenna attached. The ICOM can be operated
with an AA battery pack or a rechargeable Ni-Cad battery pack. I opted for
the Ni-Cad , wh ich I bring home
and recharge after every flight ,
and carry an AA battery pack in
the glove compartment of the air
plane in case of emergency. Bat
tery power is required because
the T-Craft does not have its own
electrical system .
While flying, it is prude nt to
have one hand on the wheel, so I
designed a small console to hold
the radio . It's mounted at a 45
degree angle between the pi lot
and the copilot so bot h can use
it conveniently. It's cradled so it
will not move when pushing the
buttons, and the 45-degree angle
makes it easy for old folks to see
with their bifocals.
The console also holds the in
tercom that connects to the head
sets worn by pilot and passenger.
There are also conductors leading
from the console to push-to-t alk
switches located on each control
wheel. This arrangement allows
the pi lot or copilot to have one
hand on the control wheel and the
other hand on the throttle whi le
talking to the tower.
Another consideration was the Please note the small battery at the
ant enna. I didn't fee l the stan base of the pedestal. H is 12V, sealed
dard 8-inch antenna would be ad rechargeable, 1.2AMP HRS PS-1212
equate , so I added an extern al connected with 114" tabs. I remove this
antenna below the fuse lage and battery and radio for recharging after
con nected it to the rad io with a each flight. I also carry spare radio bat
tery pack in the glove box.
BNC connector and a piece of co
axial cable. All of these
parts are connected with
a j umble of wires stuffed
in a small box that is the
bottom of the console .
For security I disconnect
the radio and bring it
home after each fl ight.
My inst ructor remarked
that the syste m was
working quite nicely.
