They will need to complete the training even if they are not an EAA member, so bring them to the May meeting. The background check takes 7-10 business days to get processed, so our May meeting is really the last chance to complete it. If they are a non EAA member we can get them a 6 month trial membership giving them an EAA number so they can complete the Youth Protection Training online. Our goal is to have 20 aircraft fly 100 children between 7:00am-11:30am. This is a little bigger and faster than last year so we need all the help we can get! Blue Skies and Tailwinds, Ron Davidson

THIS MONTH WE HAVE TWO MEETINGS: MAY 13TH , 6:30PM AT 1V6, AND MAY 14TH, 8:30AM
AT THE PUEBLO WEISBROD AIRCRAFT MUSEUM
Words from the President
Howdy Chapter 808! We have a lot to talk about
this month as we gear up for our Young Eagles Rally
2016.
Our May meetings will be held on different dates
and at different locations. We are holding these
two meetings to help get all volunteers through the
mandatory Youth Protection Training and
Background Checks. The first meeting is on Friday,
May 13th, 6:30pm at (1V6) Fremont County Airport,
Annex Trailer #2. The second meeting is on
Saturday May 14th, 8:30am at Pueblo Weisbrod
Aircraft Museum. You only have to attend one of
the meetings. If you attend the Pueblo meeting we
will complete the training and then go eat
breakfast at the Aviator Bar and Grill.
The date of our Young Eagles Rally 2016 is June
18th. We will talk about show times at the May
meeting and email the information as the event
draws near. Expect a volunteer show time of
6:15am and a pilot show time of 6:30am with a
pilot brief at 6:45am and our first prop spinning at
7:15am.
If you have any friends that would like to be a pilot
in our rally, have them contact me, Ron Davidson
(719)647-2386 or [email protected]
If you have friends that want to volunteer to help
on the ground have them contact Susan Myhre
(719)252-7823 or [email protected]
We need all the help we can get, so please recruit
everyone you know. They will need to complete
the training even if they are not an EAA member,
so bring them to the May meeting. The
background check takes 7-10 business days to get
processed, so our May meeting is really the last
chance to complete it. If they are a non EAA
member we can get them a 6 month trial
membership giving them an EAA number so they
can complete the Youth Protection Training online.
Our goal is to have 20 aircraft fly 100 children
between 7:00am-11:30am. This is a little bigger
and faster than last year so we need all the help we
can get!

Minutes from March’s meeting
EAA 808 Meeting 4-9-16, Weisbrod Aircraft Museum
Meeting chaired by Pres. Ron Davidson
14 members in attendance
Meeting called to order by Pres. Davidson
Briefing given by Sue Myher on the plans for the upcoming Young Eagles event.
Target is going to be 100 kids again
She is trying to arrange for 20 pilots this time
All adult participants in the event need to take the EAA Child Protection Training. The minimum requirements are for the YE coordinator, EAA field reps., pilots and for “2-deep Leadership Supporters”. Sue feels that if all volunteers have taken the training then we will always meet the “2-Deep Leadership Supporters” requirement.
◦ Training is very easy and there are only a couple of questions associated with the background check
◦ Access training on the EAA.org website by going to EAA.org>Sign in>My Account>Child protection training. Please send Sue a note when you complete the training.
◦ Goal of training is to protect kids, protect the EAA & the chapter and to reassure parents
◦ Only immediate fails are if you have a felony background, are a registered sex offender, have been convicted of animal cruelty, conviction for posession of controlled substances in the last 5 years or if you fail to complete the form.
◦ Sue will handle informing parents about the policy
◦ EAA wants no contact with YE candidates outside of the event
EAA Chapter 808 Newsletter May, 2016
◦ Volunteers are prohibited from any abuse or discipline of children, which includes any familiar contact or affectionate contact
All photos taken of the event must be made available to the parents
Any discipline required must take place through the parents. If there continue to be problems, they will be asked to leave.
Any known or suspected child abuse must be immediately reported by calling 911. Following that, a report must be filed in writing to EAA headquarters.
It was suggested that the chapter contact the Sheriff's office for the event and see if an officer will be available to attend.
Sue reported on her visit to a Young Eagles event at Front Range Airport: apparently they do a 2-hour ground school the night before for all YE candidates and it's handled like a Boy Scout Aviation merit badge. We have no plans to do anything similar.
The 18th of June was the target date for our Young Eagles event, but that is the same date as the Blitz Airshow. Ron is proposing use of the Flower East building which is on the East end of the airport. So far, airport management is balking due to security concerns. We may end up moving the date to another weekend.
Ron will check on the availability of the free EAA 6-month memberships for non-member YE pilots
We are also going to try (again) to see if we can get the press to attend. Tried last time, but no one showed up.
A motion was made, 2nded and approved to fund the YE event with a budget of $400
Meeting Schedule:
We are also going to try and make the swap meet an annual April event
Our May meeting will be at Fremont Co., and will be all Young Eagles planning. Please bring a laptop if you have
one so we can provide Child Protection Training at the meeting.
The July meeting may be a campout in Buena Vista, on the airport grounds
The August meeting will be planning for the Fremont Co. Fly-in (no airshow this year). The chapter will resume
doing pancakes again this year.
In September, we will resume our speaker schedule.
Jon is donating his pedal plane as an income source for the chapter. Possibly auction/raffle at the Fremont Co. fly-in.
We broke even on the burrito breakfast. With some upscaling, it may be a profitable event.
Mike is willing to do the laser cut keychains again as handouts for the YE event
There being no other business, a motion was made, 2nded and approved to adjourn.

In the Workshop
Hans Miesler and Ron Davidson kept Catto Props in business this month. Hans bought a three bladed prop for his Pitts and says that the lighter weight of the wood and composite prop makes a big difference in his aerobatic routine due to the decreasing in gyroscopic force during maneuvers. His old aluminum prop weighed over 30lbs while his new Catto prop weighs about 15lbs!
I bought a two bladed 86”x40” climb prop for my Avid Magnum. Now I need to buy some bigger tires so I’m not using my new prop as a taxiway sweeper! It is a beefy prop and should give some outstanding climb performance.
