Program Description
Pancake Breakfast in Placerville (KPVF)
By Tim Sullivan
This invite from regular attendee Tim Sulivan, of Placerville, CA... EAA Chapter 512 in Placerville will have a Pancake breakfast on Saturday morning from 8 to 11 AM.
Lots of folks flew in for this last year. Almost 200 people attended.
It is a short flight from Columbia to Placerville (KPVF), about 20 minutes. See the Sierras on your way to a yummy breakfast for a good cause.
It is 323° for 45 nm. You can be back in time for the first seminar.
"Canard Aerodynamics vs Conventional Aerodynamics"
By Marc Zeitlin
Our canards obey the same laws of physics as all airplanes, but they have aerodynamic differences due to their configuration that gives them some advantages and some disadvantages. Marc Zeitlin will discuss the differences and evaluate the pros and cons.
"The 'Hole in the Wall' Gang"
By David Orr
Many of our canard aircraft were 'birthed' in the hangers at Northrup/Clover field in the mid-1980's. Davide Orr built his Long EZ there and will take us down memory lane reliving the experience in narratives and photos.
