EAA Chapter 282

282 held our monthly Young Aviators meeting on Sunday afternoon. We took a break from our pancake griddle construction project and did a Q&A followed by flights. The kids really have great questions and it’s cool to be able to go show them the answers to their questions in the plane.

“What are G-forces?” became a demonstration in the plane of steep turns and lazy 8’s.

“What does the rudder do?” turned into showing what it’s like to make a coordinated turn and how a side slip is used for crosswind landings.

No great pictures because we were flying!

Hope to see many of you Monday evening at Clearwater Exec for our May chapter gathering. We’ll have some updates on our Young Eagles rally coming up on May 16th, info on our Young Aviators group that meets monthly, Trivia Night, and discussion on the new rnav approach at the airport. Dinner (donations graciously accepted) starts at 6pm and the meeting starts around 7.
