Henry Herbert has graciously volunteered to host this year's chapter BBQ this Saturday, September 17th, at his hanger (34-14) on Paine Field.
BBQ starts at 11am and will go till 3pm.
The hangar is in the "West Hangars" section, which is accessed from the southeast side of the airport. The airport gate address is: 10700 36th Pl W, Everett, WA 98204. When you get close, follow the signs for "West Ramp Access" and "Gate S-9". Ignore the Flying Heritage Museum's "Parking" sign. When you get to the gate, you'll see the sign for the fire department. Call 425 466 three seven one four when you arrive at the gate, and we'll send someone over to let you in.
We need volunteers to bring food for the grill (Burgers, Brats, Buns, condiments, etc.) or a side dish. Some extra chairs and folding tables are also needed. Significant others/kids encouraged. If weather permits would love to have some fly-ins so we can do our own ramp checks! The Flying Heritage Collection will be doing a fly day around noon, so we can also watch a Ilyushin IL-2M3 Shturmovik, a North American B-25 Mitchell, and a Republic P-47 Thunderbolt fly!
Please RSVP here and tell us what you're bringing so we can fill in the gaps on food or equipment.
See you there!

EAA 1440 April Meeting - Back in Redmond!
Tuesday, April 19, 7PM, Redmond Library.
Kirk Kleinholtz will be back to give us a great presentation: "Making the Transition to Glass Panel".
Summary:
Learn about the technology that makes electronic flight information
systems affordable and practical for small general aviation aircraft. A
better understanding of the internal workings of these instruments will
illustrate how they offer reliability, affordable redundancy, and
greater situational awareness than venerable analog flight instruments.
Pilots of even 2-seat VFR aircraft will learn how they can improve
safety and situational awareness by making use of the latest in Glass
Panel avionics. Pilots of IFR aircraft will learn how to achieve more
capability and greater redundancy at lower cost. Learn not only the
benefits of this technology, but also the safety and training issues
relevant in making the transition from traditional analog instruments to
glass panel.
Some of us will meet for 6PM dinner at Ooba Tooba Mex Grill - 15802 NE 83rd St, Redmond.
See you there!

Yes, we still exist!
Although we have skipped a number of entries for 2015, the chapter is still active, primarily on FaceBook at https://www.facebook.com/groups/EAA1440/ , but also on the Yahoo group.
Next meeting is Tuesday, Feb. 16, 7PM, at the Bellevue Library!
Ron Wanttaja will present 'GA Maintenance and Exosystem Consequences'.
Every time someone takes a wrench to an airplane, there's a possibility the work won't go right and the system you've worked on doesn't operate properly. However, there are occasionally cases where the maintenance mistake causes problems BEYOND the system in question. Controls jammed by mis-routed wiring, or hydraulic leaks brought on when a too-long screw is used to attach some fairings. Or, worst of all, fires started by wrongly-installed avionics or bad fuel system work.

Or, worst of all, fires started by wrongly-installed avionics or bad fuel system work.
Ron has examined over 30 years of General Aviation accidents to
identify these cases of what he calls, "Exosystem Consequences." At the
meeting, he'll go over the results of his analysis...what kinds of
mistakes are being made, and what sort of consequences ensue.
The topic alone should be interesting enough...but Ron performed this analysis in support of another effort, one that holds promise to benefit many aircraft owners.
!VENUE CHANGE! We're meeting at the Bellevue library, meeting room 3.
Please come with your $20 for the 1440 dues, as it's that time of year again...
-- !Bonus Presentation! --
Chris Foster, from the group that previously presented on the Boeing Glassair, will be giving us a short presentation on a new clean-sheet design, to get some feedback on the design, and solicit help on the construction side.
If you know anything about composite mold making and/or resin infusion, please come to the meeting and talk to Chris!
