What's Better Than Pancakes? More Pancakes. At EAA Chapter 838 in Racine!

Saturday, May 3rd will be the annual Pancake Breakfast at EAA Chapter 838, and hosted by our partners, the Root River Rollers. There will be pancakes, eggs, sausage, coffee, juice and all of the things that go with the food. If the weather is nice, the huge hangar door will be open and you can gaze out upon the beautiful vista of Racine Batten Airport and watch the Young Eagles Flights come and go. Bring your friends. Bring your family. Bring your neighbors. Heck, grab someone on the street who looks hungry and bring them as well.

All of this for a mere $12 for adults and $5 for youth 12 and under. And if that youth is aged 8-17 and wants to experience a Young Eagles Flight, go to https://events.eaachapters.org/event- details/RW9966V1 to register.

And if you want to have even MORE fun, come and volunteer at the breakfast. Be one of those behind-the-scenes people that everyone thinks is so cool. Click on this link for additional informaiton and to sign up.

Weekly Shop Night

Have you ever wanted to learn how to pull a rivet? Are you mechanically inclined but have no space at home to build things? Are you interested in just seeing the internal workings of an airplane?

If any of these apply to you, or if you are just curious, join our intrepid Monday Night Mechanics each Monday from 7:00 pm until folks get tired.

We recently rebuilt an engine and completing an aircraft begun by one of our members who unfortunately passed before the plane was finished. The aircraft will eventually hang in our museum in memory of the late, great Roy Stuart.

If you are interested in attending, please contact Glen Malkmus, our Shop Coordinator.

Under 18? Please make sure to bring a responsible adult with you.

Simulator Group takes
Virtual Flight

Be a part of the fastest growing group at EAA Chapter 838: the Flight Sim Group!

Join now and learn how to plan and build a realistic flight simulator you may fly all around the world without leaving the comfort of your own home or seeing your Hobbs tick over even once. Oh, and virtual fuel costs are very economical, too!

Fly to dinner in Paris or that nice little bush strip in New Guinea. Challenge Jon Brocksopp at carrier landings. Once this room is built, the virtual sky's the simulated limit!

Our Flight Simulation Group meets at 7:00 pm on the third Wednesday of each month at the Chapter building.

The Simulator Room Returns

Our current project is exciting: planning and building multiple networked simulators to fill a dedicated simulator room in our Chapter hangar.

What was once our Simulator Room years ago is going to return to its former glory with even better quality equipment for a quality experience. Take flight in virtual skies as you communicate with simulators worldwide as you enjoy precision-made controls with realistic actions, superb displays, and fast performance.

Join our group now and help in the planning and development of our new sim setup! Get tips on improving your own setup at home as well!

Once completed, the Simulator Room will avalable to full Chapter members (schedule to be determined). Join our next meeting this Wednesday, December 18, to learn more!
