A break was taken for refreshments followed by a 50/50 drawing. The drawing was won by chapter historian John Carter.
Steve Walters
was our speaker for the evening, enlightening the group about the
recent Light Sport Aircraft rules. The new rules go into effect
September 1, 2004. Steve spoke on some of the criteria used to
determine if an aircraft meets the rule, and listed some planes that
fall into this category.
Steve closed the meeting at 9:03pm.
Respectfully submitted, Rolf Bostrom, Secretary
