This Monthly Chapter Gathering will be at the Teen Flight Building, in the southwest corner of the parking lot on the south side of Hillsboro Airport, off NE Cornell Rd.

Please join us to see the teens’ progress in assembling an RV-12. The TeenFlight program includes a group of volunteer mentors led by Dick VanGrunsven to guide teens through the learning process of reading plans and using tools common to aircraft construction. This is the 9th RV-12 built by this Portland area TeenFlight program.

Teens are between 14 and 19, and it takes approximately 1.5 to 2 years during the school year, every Saturday for 6 hours, to build the airplane.  There is a formal application process with a new class starting in the fall. Anyone interested, please send an email to Aron Faegre (faegre at earthlink dot net), who manages the class, and he will respond with more information.

Chapter Gatherings – are typically on the second Thursday of every month, 6:30 pm, usually at the EAA 105 Hangar (G1) at Twin Oaks Airpark, although sometimes at other venues. We have some food (small donation requested) and socialize from 6:30 to 7:00 p.m. The meeting begins at 7:00 p.m. with the EAA Monthly video, followed by a special program. Upcoming programs TBD.

We are looking for volunteers to help organize or present at future meetings. You can discuss your build project, do a presentation, invite a speaker, show a movie, or organize a field trip. Contact Rion Bourgeois with your idea for a chapter meeting.
