Front Cover ... Mike Greenblatt's family enjoys flying their aeronautical equivalent of a
Chevy Suburban, their restored Beech 0-18. It was awarded the Reserve Grand Champion
Classic trophy during EM AirVenture 2000. EM photo by Mark Schaible, shot with a
Canon EOS1n equipped with an 80-200mm lens on 100 ASA Fuji slide film. EM Cessna
210 photo plane flown by Bruce Moore.
Back Cover ... Cliff Amrhein, 2850 Ridge Road, Harrison, Michigan 48625, painted
"See OC-3" using watercolors on art board. He dug into his personal archive of reference
photos for afew pictures taken at LAX in the early 1950s for this view. His love for the
OC-3 spans many years, and is rooted in the fact that the OC-3 entered commercial
service the same year Cliff was born -1935. Cliff's painting was presented with an
"Honorable Mention" ribbon during the 2000 Sport Aviation Art Competition

Fokker not only added his name to the standard white rectangles on his Ford Tour F.VIIA/3M,
but he also added it to the leading edges of the wing. Here the tri-motor is being evaluated
by the u.s. Army Air Service at McCook Field, Dayton, Ohio.
This view of H-NACC shows the origi nal F.VII horn-balanced ailerons and the complex
landing gear struts. Theletter H in the registration did not mean Holland; H was
assigned t o Haiti, Holland, Hu ngary, and Siam . For Hu ngary, the first letter after the
dash was M, for Magyar Repu blic; for Holland, it was N for Netherlands. The following
three letters were the ind ividua l aircraft registration, starting with the block AAA.

part of the airplane was the engine.
By using three engines in an F.VIIA,
the plane could keep going if one
engine failed.
The F.VIIA was easily converted to
a tri-motor by removing the 4S0-hp
Bristol Jupiter radial engine from the
nose, replacing it with a 200-hp
American Wright J-4, and adding
two more J-4s directly over the
wheels in nacelles under each wing.
Fokker's flamboyant ways and the
performance of h is tri-motor, now
deSignated F.VIIA/3M, dominated
the tour and turned it into the
Fokker PubliCity Tour.
The U.S. Army and Navy tested
the F. VIlA/3M and had Fokker's
American factory, Atlantic Aircraft,
build minor variants.
Sixteen more F.VIlA/3Ms were
built in Holland, with several being

Flight to Col~!!!!!!:';!~
By Pat Quinn
olumbine is a name made in
famous by a senseless act that
stunned our nation. Before
Columbine was a high school, I be
lieve it was partly a small airport
serving the Denver area to the
northeast.
In the early 1960's, I was a young
pilot, full of spit and vinegar, who
thought I had this pilot game pretty
much figured out. On a December
day my oldest brother , Jay, ap
proached me with the idea of
ferrying a friend's eighty-five horse
power Luscombe 8E from our home
airport in San Fernando, California,
to Denver. Chuck, the owner, had
been transferred to that city where
he worked as a pilot for a major air
line. I immediately agreed, never
giving the winter weather the slight
est consideration. I was a Southern
California kid and the weather and
temperatures were more or less the
same everywhere. Right?
In my mind it all looked so easy.
With 32 gallons of gasoline and a 6
gallon per hour burn, range was not
a problem. I devised a chart system
for the cramped confines of the Lus
combe's cockpit. I taped strips of
WAC charts together and rolled
them onto cardboard paper towel
rollers. When finished, I had two
very long charts. One ran from Cali
fornia to Las Vegas, New Mexico,
and the other depicted the east side
of the Rocky Mountains to north of
Denver. I thought it should be an
easy flight.
Planned departure day was
January 5th. This particular winter
was a very cold one and I knew it so
r packed some winter clothes be
hind the seat and departed San
Fernando at 4:00 a.m. Because it
was still dark at this time of the
morning, r brought along a flash

STINSON 108-2
Judith Tweedie, San Jose, California sent us this nice photo and write-up concerning this gorgeous Stinson 108-2.
"Stinson N175C, basking in the setting sun. "Charlie" was stripped down to a bare frame with every nut, bolt,
screw, rivet, cable, wire and fastener removed and replaced. Originally intended to be just a fabric cover job, exten
sive surface corrosion caused a major revision in plans. The inside and outside of every metal surface, all ribs, etc.
were cleaned, acid etched, alodined and sprayed with epoxy primer. The metalized wings were returned to the origi
nal fabric covered configuration. It was a six-year odyssey that included Rich being diagnosed with terminal colon
cancer during the forth year of the project. Despite being given only three to six months to live, he survived over
two, long enough to finish it and fly to the 1999 Golden West EAA Fly-In. Rich passed away in March of 2000, just
months before Charlie won both Best Stinson and Lady's Choice awards during the annual Columbia Stinson Fly-In
in June 2000. Rich and I worked shoulder to shoulder on this, never giving up. Rich's workmanship was of artistic
quality and Charlie is his legacy to the flying community and especially to Stinson lovers everywhere./I

Carefully read the comments, in
cluding those regarding th e
installation of inspection holes. The
actual need and placement of those
holes , including the two on top of
the wing, are left to the discretion of
your mechanic.
I'd also strongly recommend view
ing the inspection procedure detailed
on the Citabria Owners Group web
Site, www.citabria.com. Ca rl Petersen's
procedure, coupled with detailed
photos of actual compression frac
tures in wood, is an excellent source
of information . It details a practical
inspection method that can be used
to comply with this AD. Carl and his
online type club are to be com
mended for their work on this issue.

Control
That's what flying is all
about...control. Until the Wrights
came up with a system to control
their flying machine, prior attempts
proved somewhat futile. People
jumped off high places, coasted
down sand hills, and tried all sorts of
ways to fly-only to crash because
they couldn't control flight.
Many years ago I nailed an orange
crate to my grandmother's ironing
board and launched off the barn roof
in an attempt to fly. Maybe, just
maybe, if I'd had a set of controls I
might have made history and joined
my hero, Charles Lindbergh, in flit
ting about the country. That effort
led to another attempt-to develop a
parachute! Again a failed attempt as
one corner of the bed sheet came un
tied, and I spent the next several
days in a foul, contemplative mood
while my hurts mended.
Seriously though, until French
aviation pioneer Robert Esnault-Pel
terie (R.E.P.) invented the joystick to
operate his aileron invention, there
were all sorts of attempts to build
control into pioneer flying machines.
Before the joystick and rudder bar,
most other methods were unnatural
and sometimes led to drastic failures
in trying to control flight.
The Wright Brothers' system
would be most difficult, if not im
pOSSible, for today's pilot to use.
