PRESIDENT, VINTAGE ASSOCIATION
So many people
have been tell ing
me that they are
coming to this
year's event ...
Anyway, I found that I couldn't
get the new unit mounted onto the
engine with the engine still bolted
in place on the engine mount. (Once
the alternator is on the engine, there
seems to be plenty of clearance.) I
went ahead and removed the engine
completely to do some cleanup and
to inspect the engine mount . You
folks can already see where this is
going, can't you?
Well, since I was this far along, I
thought maybe it would be a good
time to install the new instrument
panel that I have built up. A couple
of months ago I showed you the
new panel, with the radios and in
struments installed and ready to be
bolted in place. Okay, so I will have

flight of six B-24s approaching from
the south. The student hearing this

the plane to get a better look. B-24s
were our newest bomb e r and he
couldn't wait to see them. The trick

Tiger Moth
From Howard Hollins of Pennsylvania we have this
concerning his restoration:
" I thought I' d send you a picture of my Tiger Moth,
recently repainted / restored. The aircraft is a DH82A
Tiger Moth, made at Morris Motors , Cowley, England,
in September 1940. The wings and tail surfaces were
totally restored during the winter of 2000 by Geo rge
and Laura Denys, and the fuselage refinished and
painted by Pat Burns, Jim Cherry, and myself.
"The Tiger is currently a resident at Van Sant Airport
in Erwinna , Pennsylvania. The British registration is au
thent ic to the aircraft and would be assigned again
should it return to England and fly at the Surrey Flying
Club, as was intended. The U.S. registration N82DH is
under the tail. "

A CRATE,
ANDA
SURPRISE'
ld Rhinebeck Aerodrome's
Curtiss Jenny is a 1918 orig
inal and an American
legend. So many things go into an
aircraft: purpose, design, realiza
tion, and its truth. How it flies and
how it works in life are its truth.
And if it lives long enough (and
doesn't kill too many of its pilots),
it can develop a classic reputation .
While the Curtiss Jenny does have
this, time has almost surrounded
her in a historical haze of mystique
to render that reputation grand and
glorious. Indeed, the aircraft has be
come an American icon; a
touchstone. Her legend, though,
confronts her reality at Old
Rhinebeck Aerodrome.
ORA, or liThe Aerodrome" as avi
ation historians know it, has flown
its Jenny for over 27 years. As such,
Jenny has flown here more often
than anywhere else in the world,

and so on ... /1
(And then you're flying an
honest to goodness Jenny!)
"And you usually keep
throttle on, pretty well all the
way in when you're making
the approach to land, until
you're right near the ground;
then you can throttle back.
The minute you pull the
throttle all the way back, it
slows down rapidly because of all
the wires, and so on. So, you keep
the speed up, and you're all right.
And it works better if you're making
a turn if you can get the nose down
a little bit and gain a little speed.
Then the ailerons are a little more
effective when coming around.
"I like to fly it. I think that it's a
great airplane to fly. And there's no
mistaking that airplane for anything
else. It's a Jenny, and there's nothing
else actually like it, and nobody who
knows airplanes would ever mistake
it for anything else./1
*Phew!* Jenny, Jenny, Jenny. In
1970, Jack Lincke wrote a book,
Jenny Was No Lady. But here, I heard
naught but good. Solid, dependable,
slow and steady, Jenny introduced
more Americans to the reality of
personal flight than anyone aircraft,
ever. She casts a long shadow.
As I walked away from the Aero
drome, I got the sense that the
Curtiss Jenny is their new pride and
joy, and, that they were still
scratching their heads about her.
It's amazing, really. What with all
that has been written about the 01'
gal, and the books, and the legends,
and the other ones still sort of in
the air, that in real life, that crazy
gang of experts at the Aerodrome is
still learning about what makes a
legend tick. Anyone can come and
watch it, too, every weekend. And,
if they watch carefully enough,
they'll see the pilots exploring and
discovering the history of flight. In
2002.
I picked up a rock from their
grass strip and threw it absent
mindedly away.

These two views are of the oleo-style shock absorber for the Piper CUb. This absorber dampened the rebound action of
the internal spring by relying on the friction of a brake lining used inside the tube, instead of metering holes for hy
draulic fluid. No fluid is used in this unit. While these units are not available, we present them as a "thought-provoker."

Dear Sir:
Subject : New shock absorber legs for the undercarriage
of the 'Piper Cub" plane .
We have finished the testing of the shock absorber
legs developed by you for the undercarriage of the "Piper
Cub " plane and can advise you of the following test re
sults :
The breaking strength determined on our test machine
in Horgen is 3,130 kg. As compared with the original con
struction , this strength must be considered satisfactory .
The strengthening of the bolt eyes contemplated for the
mass production, which parts were the first to break in
the test, will , however , in all probability increase the
breaking strength to about 4,000 kg .
The work performed until the resting of the spring is
about 75 mkg , and the work given off upon the release
from load is about 30 mkg . The work consumed by the damp
ing is thus 45 mkg and therefore 60 percent of the total
work . The "pancake landings " carried out during the
flight tests show that upon the release of the load the
remaining 40 percent is taken up primarily by the fric
tion occurring upon the change in tread , so that there is
practically no longer any tendency to bounce . Upon land
ings at excess speed, on the other hand, the tendency to
bounce , which is still present, although greatly reduced
as compared to what it previously was , is not due to the
relaxing of the spring, but due to the angle of attack
produced upon the striking of the front wheels-and thus
to an increase in lift .
In the case of the original undercarriage with rubber
shock absorber , the maximum energy absorption of the
shock absorber leg is 40 to 50 mkg . Its damping was not
measured . It is , however , naturally small.
Upon the assembly of your shock absorber leg, it
should be seen to it that all parts are free of grease

Sardinia, OH
"I started flying in 1956 and flew solo in a J-3 Piper Cub. Thirty
eight years later, after retirement, I commenced flying again and
it's been a very busy aviation revitalization program ever since.
As for AUA insurance, I found AUA was the choice of other
vintage aircraft owners. Naturally, I chose AUA."
