This presentation is about the experience of replacing one of the most difficult components on a Vans airplane, the canopy. Jim Kessler will discuss his experience in working with plexiglas, the canopy frame, Vans construction instructions and 30 year old drawings. Entertainment is guaranteed!

Directions: — North or South bound on Coors Blvd to Cottonwood Mall, 10000 Coors Blvd NW. Take the Cottonwood Loop around to the south end of the parking lot. BJ’s is in a building of its own.
Monthly Chapter Gatherings offer time to network, with programs centered on exchanging experiences and ideas about aviation – airplanes, flying, and flying activities – rather than the chapter business which is addressed in bimonthly Board meetings.
Arrive anytime from 5:00 and dinner is not required.
We hope to see you there!
