Welcome

We are an enthusiastic group of airplane builders, flyers, and folks just plain crazy about airplanes.

We have many types of aircraft, both home built and factory built, in our chapter. We have ultralights, classics, warbirds and antique aircraft owned by members.

We also have a number of people who do not have an airplane and may never have one, but they love airplanes and fit right in.

Our chapter, as you can tell by its low number, dates back to 1957. We are the oldest chapter in Colorado and yet still have a charter member, still active and flying, 46 years later.

Our meetings are varied and informative. They cover all aspects of aviation from how to cover a fabric cover airplane, how to rivet and even how to fabricate an “engine turned” instrument panel. We hold some meetings at members homes to look at their project and ask questions. Some meetings are tours of local aircraft suppliers and shops. We have presenters who talk on aircraft safety, how to paint your aircraft, aircraft history and many other varied subjects.

We publish a monthly newsletter, also available on this website and by E-mail, as well as a yearly roster. We E-mail current info to those who have e-mail.

Come join us!! It only costs $20.00 per year and we feel you will get your moneys worth.

Our Next Chapter Meeting

Date & Time: Saturday, February 11, 2012 - 19:00 - 21:00
Location: RMMA, Mt. Evans Room (2nd Floor in the Airport Administration Building)

This is our regularly scheduled, monthly chapter meeting.

Program: Swift Enterprises - Alternative Fuels for the 100LL

You have probably noticed all the press that Swift Fuel has received over the last couple of weeks concerning their very successful alternate fuel tests in a Pratt & Whitney R-2800 radial engine.  If alternative fuels have left you feeling like you really don't have a grip on the concept, don't feel like you're standing out in that field by yourself.  Luckily for all of us, two of Swift Enterprises top research people have agreed to do a program on the 100SF fuel that they are developing.  This should be a very informative presentation that will help with understanding exactly what it is that we will be burning in our engines relatively soon.

Brian Stirm, Director of Propulsion Research and Jon Ziulkowski, VP - Renewable Fuels, will be leading the program from their headquarters in West Lafayette, Indiana.

Due to the distance, and the fact that we would probably have poor turnout if we did the meeting out there, we are going to be doing a live web broadcast which will be a first for the chapter.
