.8am-11am

    For the past several years we have held a barbecue at Will Sparkman's hangar and everyone has had a great time.  This year our annual barbecue will be held on Saturday, May 17, at 12:00 o'clock, again, at Will Sparkman's hangar.  Steve Sparkman will be manning the grill. 

    The chapter will provide hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, and sodas.  Any members or spouses who would like to bring a favorite side dish is welcome to bring it along to ensure there is plenty of good food to go around.

    EAA Chapter 1279 members will be assembling the Corvair engine that will power their Pietenpol Air Camper.  Visitors are welcome.  If you are considering a Corvair engine for your project, this is a great opportunity to observe the assembly process first hand. 

    Pat will have with him his Corvair engine test bed.  Along with a discussion of the Corvair engine as a viable and affordable alternative for use in your experimental aircraft, he will fire up his own Corvair engine as a demonstration of its power and smooth operation.  Pat has loads of experience with Corvair engines and many other alternative power sources.  Get answers to your questions from an expert .
