ISABELLE WISKE
ON THE COVERS
Front Cover .. . In 1935, Franklin "Hank" Kurt was flying this 1932
Waco UEC for The Viking Flying Boat Company in New Haven,
Connecticut. John Swander restored this vintage cabin biplane to its
former glory and was awarded a gold Lindy after it was selected as the
Grand Champion Antique of EM AirVenture 2001 . Ryan aircraft historian
Ev Cassagneres had a unique experience with this very airplane many
years ago. See his story on page 21 . EM photo by Jim Koepnick, shot
with a Canon EOS-1 n equipped with an 80-200mm lens.
Back Cover ... "If we just fixed this up.. ." How many of us have started
an annual saying those very words? The John Bragdons (Senior and
Junior) of Lakeland, Florida thought they'd just fix up their 1962 Cessna
210, but got very carried away. See the story starting on page 8 for
more on this Sun 'n Fun 2001 Best Custom Contemporary award winner.

ports to the board, the potential advisors are allowed and encour
aged to speak to the board concerning their qualifications; then the
board of directors casts their vote.
I receive a number of phone calls, letters and e-mails each week
from members who ask for technical information, submit their
ideas on VAA matters, and ask questions regarding VAA operations.
1 recently received this note from a member, who asked the follow
ing:
"Of the dues that members pay to belong to the Vintage Aircraft
Association, how much is spent for the VAA operations at AirVen
ture Oshkosh each year?"
While we do have expenses operating the VAA area of the con
vention site, we rely on merchandise sales during the show and
sponsors to help with this expense. The two largest expenses the
VAA has during convention are the participation plaques we give
to those that bring and display their aircraft. This plaque is given
free to VAA members; nonmembers have to pay for their plaque if
they wish to have one, or they have the option to join with you in
supporting the VAA by signing themselves up as members.
Second, we also pay for the awards below the Lindy category
that are given to award-winning Vintage aircraft.
In the past, we have not had a requirement that an award win
ner be a VAA member, they only needed to be an EAA member.
Recognizing that was unfair to those who pay dues and support the
division and its activities, we've changed that requirement. In order
for a vintage aircraft to be judged and potentially receive an award,
the owner will have to be a member of the Vintage Aircraft Associa
tion. The division and its volunteers staff the parking area for
vintage airplanes and all of showplane camping as well. Given their
dedication and willingness to lend their support each year in the
form of dues, we believe it's only right that those who wish to avail
themselves of VAA benefits should also be members of the division.
I think it is important to point out that the VAA does not re
ceive any income at AirVenture from gate receipts, aircraft
registration, or aircraft camping. So where does the dues money
go each month? Dues money is spent on membership services,
Vintage Airplane (our single largest expense), and operations
through out the year.
We welcome any inquires regarding our operations and other
matters. There are several areas in which you as a member can be of
help to the VAA. You can continue to encourage your friends to
join up with us so they too can enjoy flying the Vintage "banner."
The more members we have, the stronger the voice we have in
dealing with the FAA regarding aging aircraft issues. Another great
way to contribute is to send articles (especially good technical
write-ups) to H.G. for inclusion in the magazine. We really are a
membership sharing organization-let's continue to help each
other by sharing information.
Do you have a business or service that would benefit by doing
business with fellow VAA members? Advertise in Vintage Airplane.
We have the Vintage Trader section and display ads. We even have
a new classified display ad priced at a very effective $20 per inch per
issue. That's a pretty inexpensive way to get the word out about
your product or service to nearly 10,000 people.
Let's all pull in the same direction for the good of aviation. Re
member, we are better together. Join us and have it all!

FOUR-PLACE TAYLORCRAFT
Dear H.G.,
I really enjoyed the article on the
four-place T-Craft in the April issue
of Vintage. As the title says, it is al
most an "unknown." When I wrote
my Taylorcraft book back in 1992, I
couldn't find out much about them,
although I interviewed Ben Mauro
(not Morrow)
over the phone
several times.
He had a fair
amount of in
formation on
the Model 20 ,
which he sent,
but not much
on the 15. I do
remember he
hired e.G. Tay
lor to come over
from Alliance to
clean up the Model 15 design, and
thus saved about 150 pounds.
Now that spring is here, I will be
rolling out my T-Craft DC-65 (L-2)
for some fun flying. Keep up the
good work.
Yours truly,
Chet Peek

other little time fact that'll bring you up short. Yes, we're 40 years
past the birth of what most of aviation think of as a fairly mod
ern airplane, but when that airplane was built, Stearmans had
been out of production for only 15 years.
Yeah, we know. There are a bunch
of punk kids out there, those in their
30s and early 40s, who are saying, so
what? The 210 is an old airplane.
The rest of us who are more seasoned
have a difficult time accepting that.

When restoring later model Cessnas, you'd better become adept at working with ABS plastic! The seat backs and the instrument panel overlay
all required replacement, since the originals had become brittle and cracked with age. The instrument panel overlay was replaced with a new
piece. The white panel was painted black, and an engraver cut through the paint to add the call-outs for the throttle, mixture, cabin air, etc.

Friends Dan Dominguez and Chris Wall, from EI Paso, Texas, flew this 1957 Aero
Commander around the world. Their airplane, dubbed the Dreamcatcher, was
restored by the pair and departed from Rochester, New York, on September 13, 2000,
arriving back in upstate New York on December 17. Stopping in the Azores, crossing
the Mediterranean Sea, and traversing the Middle East were unnerving, but except
for a fuel flow fluctuation on one engine that meant an unscheduled stop at an
Egyptian airfield near the Red Sea, the Aero Commander performed very well, as did
its crew. At age 22, Dan and Chris carefully planned and flew the ir mission with thou
sands of schoolchildren virtually looking over their shoulders via visits and lesson plans
distributed over the Internet. Dan and Chris are planning on visiting EAA AirVenture
Oshkosh 2001 with the Dreamcatcher.

That big pipe protruding from the cowl of this Pacer is your first clue that
this orange hot rod is no ordinary Piper PA-22. Bob Tincher enjoyed flying
down from Kankakee, Illinois, with his friend, Dave Schrettl, in this brute,
which has a 180-hp Lycoming shoehorned under the cowl. It will take off
in 200-300 feet, and the initial rate of climb with one person aboard is
2,800 feet per minute.

Bar Eisenhauer and the Great Atlantic Aeroplane Company spent the last three
years restoring this 1928 Travel Air 2000, updating the engine to a 220-hp
Continental W-670. The Bird of Paradise will be used by BAR.-Air for ride hop
ping all over Florida . Based in Winter Haven, Florida, you can call them at 863
294-2695 for flight information. The restoration includes a beautiful cockpit,
which features a pair of interesting vintage instruments including an early
Sperry Gyroscope Company artificial horizon. Lots of attention was paid to the
details of this project. Take a look at the exit for the elevator control cable,
neatly executed with a laminated ring of wood and a small piece of vinyl fabric.

Just as it would feel if you boarded the Waco on the Fourth of July, 1935, the interior of John's restored Waco instantly sends you back in time.
For safety's sake, he did replace the recalcitrant Johnson bar braking system with modern toe brakes. The seats are upholstered in Bedford
whipcord wool cloth, with a color-matched headliner. (Below) John's amazing restoration includes a pair of functional landing lights mounted
on the leading edges of the lower wings.

Advertising is good!
Deplorable! Absolutely deplorable!
The complaints I've been getting
for some time now about all the ad
vertising fodder in the various EAA
publications is that the amount of
advertising is deplorable! Right?
Some say it's like looking through
a Sears catalog or some other mail
order publication. I tend to agree,
but just now, as I was in the "oval of
fice" and thumbing through the
magazine, I came to the realization
that even though many of the pushy
ads were of no interest to me, there
were others that added to my store
of information and stressed items
that might even appeal to me.
Maybe one item out of the many
presented is enough to give me some
insight to something new, some
thing I can or could use in the pursuit
of my aviation wants and desires. I
actually came away thinking about
this and the fact that, like others, I've
been overlooking a good thing.
Sure, I want to read about air
planes, what our members are doing,
what's new and, better yet, what's
old, and maybe what's newly re
stored or whatever. I want to know
what's going on in my aviation
world, what the Fed is doing to us
now, and what EAA is doing to pre
serve our kind of flying.
It's in there! We have to search for
it among the advertising, but it is
there! Until today, that was a source
of irritation, but now I have a new
game. I look at the advertising first. I
want to see what is new in the mar
ket. Is there something I've missed?
