| Subject: | What's Your Contribution Used For? |
Dear Listers,
You might have wondered at some point, "What's my Contribution used for?" Here
are just a few examples of what your direct List support enables... It provides
for the expensive, commercial-grade Internet connection used on the List.
It pays for the regular system hardware and software upgrades enabling the highest
performance possible for List services such as the Archive Search Engine,
List Browser, and the Web Forums. It pays for the over 23 years of on-line
archive data always available for instant search and access. And, it offsets
the many hours spent writing, developing, and maintaining the custom applications
that power these List Service such as the List Browse, Search Engine, Forums,
and Wiki.
But most importantly, your List Contribution enables a forum where you and your
peers can communicate freely in an environment that is free from moderation,
censorship, advertising, commercialism, SPAM, and computer viruses.
It is YOUR CONTRIBUTION that directly enables all these aspects of Matronics List
services. Please support it today with your List Contribution. Its one of
the best investments you can make in your Sport!

| Subject: | Value of the List... |
If you look forward to checking your List email everyday (and a lot of you have
written to say that you do!), then you're probably getting at least $20 or $30
worth of Entertainment from the Lists each year. You'd pay twice that for a
subscription to some magazine or even a dinner out. Isn't the List worth at least
that much to you? Wouldn't it be great if you could pay that amount and get
a well-managed media source free of advertising, SPAM, and viruses? Come to
think of it, you do... :-)
Won't you please take a minute to make your Contribution today and support these

| Subject: | [PLEASE READ] Why I Have A Fund Raiser... |
Since the beginning, the Matronics List and Forum experience has been free from
advertising. I have been approached by fair number of vendors wanting to tap
into the large volume of activity across the various lists hosted here, but have
always flatly refused. Everywhere you go on the Internet these days, a user
is pummeled with flashing banners and videos and ads for crap that they don't
want. Yahoo, Google and that elk are not "free". The user must constantly
endure their barrage of commercialism thrust into their face at an ever increasing
rate. Enough is enough, and the Lists at Matronics choose not to succumb
to that.
That being said, running a service of this size is not "free". It costs a lot
of money to maintain the hardware, pay for the electricity, air conditioning,
maintenance contracts, etc, etc. etc. I choose to hold a PBS-like fund raiser
each year during the month of November where I simply send out a short email
every other day asking the members to make a small contribution to support the
operation. That being said, that contribution is completely voluntary and non-compulsory.
Many members choose not to contribute and that's fine.
However, a very modest percentage of the members do choose to make a contribution
and it is that financial support that keeps the Lists running. And that's
it. To my way of thinking, it is a much more pleasant way of maintaining the
Lists and Forums. The other 11 months of the year, you don't see a single advertisement
or request for support. That's refreshing and that is a List and Forum
that I want to belong to. I think other people feel the same way.
Won't you please take a minute to make your Contribution today and support these
Lists?

Dear Listers,
There are just a few days left for this year's List Fund Raiser. If you've been
putting off making a Contribution until the last minute, well, this is it!
The last minute, that is... :-) There are some GREAT new gift selections to choose
from this year. I personally want at least three of them! There's probably
something you can't live without too! And, best of all it supports your
Lists!
Please remember that there isn't any sort of commercial advertising on the Lists
and the *only* means of keeping these Lists running is through your Contributions
during this Fund Raiser. Let's make this a "Black Friday" for the Lists!

Dear Listers,
The percentage of members making a Contribution to support the Lists this year
is currently behind last year by at this time by roughly 20%. Please take this
opportunity to show your support for the Matronics Lists and Forums!
Please remember that it is *solely* your direct Contributions that keep these Lists
and Forums up and running and most importantly - AD FREE! If the members
don't want to support the Lists directly, then I might have to add advertisements
to offset the costs of running the Lists. But I don't want to have to do
that. I really like the non-commercial atmosphere here and I think that a lot
of the members appreciate that too.
Please take a moment to make a Contribution today in support of the continued ad-free
operation of all these Lists:

Dear Listers,
Here in the United States, Thursday is our National day of Thanksgiving. Many
of us will be traveling to be with our families and friends to share in generous
feasts of plenty and giving thanks for the many blessings that have been bestowed
upon us.
Many Listers have expressed over the last couple of weeks how thankful they are
for the Email Lists and Forums here on the Matronics servers and for all of the
assistance and comradery they have experienced being a part of the Lists.
One of my favorite comments is when someone writes to me and says something like,
"Its the first thing I do in the morning while I'm having my morning coffee!".
That's a wonderful tribute to the purpose and function of these Lists.
Its always great to hear I'm not the only one that jumps out of bed each morning
to check my List email!!
Won't you take a minute today and show your appreciation for these Lists and for
their continued operation and upgrade?

Dear Listers,
There are just two more days left in this years List Fund Raiser. We are still
way behind last year in terms of the number of contributions and total contribution
amount. I really want to keep providing these services to the homebuilt
community, but it take resources. Since there's no advertising budget or deep
pockets to keep the operation a float, its solely your generosity during the
Fund Raiser that keeps things going. Please make a Contribution today.
If you've been putting off showing your support for the Lists, now is the time
to do it!

"Airport Courtesy Cars" is a new Google Play/Apple iPhone app that lists over 1100
airports nationwide that have crew/courtesy cars. Make sure you search for
it in the phone store, as searching from a tablet won't work. You can load
it on an iPad by changing the search function in the app store from iPad apps
to iPhone apps.You can dial the listing directly from the app to see if a car
is available. If you have a listing that I missed, or a correction, you can email
me via the app, or to airportcars101(at)gmail.com. Thanks for looking. Glenn

Thank you AOPA for reviewing the Airport Courtesy Car app in the February issue
on page 37. The review states the app is only available for iPhone, however that
is incorrect. And thanks also to AvWeb who reviewed it earlier. The app is
available for Android in the Google Play Store, so you Android users, please
check it out. The app is totally free and now lists over 1100 locations nationwide.
And thanks to all the folks on this forum who contributed listings. Glenn

I spent a day or so on the CAD laying out all the new panel and interior labels
for the RV-8 and also the RV-6 while I was at it. Lot's of precision pays off
here. I emailed PDF files of the labels to Ms Carita in Livermore, a label making
company, and ordered up some labels. I marked in red where I wanted them
cut out.
Today, I picked them up and they are pretty amazing! All I have to do is peal them
off the backing and apply! They are similar to what I had on the RV-8 v1.0,
but it seems that they did a better job than the first company.
Nothing makes an interior more professional than professional looking labels, IMHO.
These cost me $25/sheet. Well worth it!!

Wanted to update the list with the following, the Airport Courtesy Car app as of
this date has over 1300 listings nationwide with over 5000 pilots that have
downloaded the app. It continues to be covered by major publications. Since
AvWeb covered it and AOPA Pilot magazine in the February issue, it has most recently
been favored by G.A. News. Also I can now upload pictures of your favorite
crew cars to the state listings, so email those pictures to me at airportcars101(at)gmail.com.
And keep those entries coming!

I still get a lot of questions on how to download the Airport Courtesy Cars app
on an iPad. So here are some simple instructions on how to do so. The app is
approaching 1400 car listings with over 6,400 pilots that have downloaded the
app. Glenn
Go to the app store on your iPad,
Click the search box and search for Airport Courtesy Cars,
The search will not show any results, however when the search is complete a bar
of menus will appear along the top of the page,
The very first one on the left says "Ipad only",
Click it to show a drop down menu,
Choose "iPhone only" and Airport Courtesy Cars" will be displayed, and you can
download the app.

In the rebuild of my RV-8 recently, I managed to get a scratch in the lens of both
the Garmin SL-30 and the Garmin GTX-327. No biggie, I thought, I'll just order
up a replacement and stick them in, much like I did on the King KX-125 on
the RV-6.
I called up Pacific Coast Avionics today to order the parts and was told the following:
Garmin will not sell the lens. Yup, you hear that right. My only option
is to return both units to Garmin for a "factory repair" and the MINIMUM charge
will be $535 for EACH unit! That is $1070 to replace two $4 pieces of plastic!
That is simply outrageous! Frankly, criminal behavior.
I will NOT be buying ANY future Garmin products. I refuse to do business with a
company that treats their customers this way. Unacceptable.

This doesn't sound right. Sounds to me like someone just didn't want to deal
with you (and it likely wasn't Garmin in this case). I don't know what or
how you handled yourself, but sometimes you'll get more with honey than with
vinegar - or perhaps the person you spoke with perhaps was slightly
mis-informed.
To be blunt, the lenses should be readily available (at least they were last
time we got some). I'm sorry they aren't a $4 piece of plexi (there is some
fancy schmancy coatings on them and such), but the GTX lens is around $26
and I think the SL lens around $65.
My recommendation would be to calm down a bit, sit back and take a breath
before indicting Garmin in their entirety based on a conversation with one
person.
Not defending anyone or indicting or flaming anyone, but your experience
just sounds like we don't have the "whole story".....might I humbly suggest
that before blasting this to every list you manage that you perhaps speak to
someone else first (or maybe even Garmin directly)?
Cheers,

Before making my original post, I had contacted two different Avionics shops and
received the exact same story, so I didn't base my findings on a single vendor.
I have subsequently contacted Garmin directly and was told that the parts
are in fact orderable by dealers. But, when those same avionics dealers call the
Garmin parts department they are told they are not allowed to order those parts.
So, something is definitely not quite lining up here. I guess I apologize
to the community for venting my frustration with this process, but this really
shouldn't be this difficult. I will follow up with more information on this
debacle as it hopefully progresses.
Btw, the lens part number for the SL-30 is 308-3201-42 and the lens for the GTX-327
is 470-00034-00.

I see no reason for an apology, and I'm glad you posted your experience.
I've heard the exact same story (outrageous flat-rate fees for *any*
repair, even a 'checkout') about Garmin for many years from many different
owners. I've even experienced it myself, with Garmin wanting around $150 to
replace the $4 backup battery in my GPS III Pilot portable. When I cornered
a Garmin rep about it at a major flyin, he offered to give me a 'deal' at
$70 if I sent it to his attention after the flyin. And the portable isn't
even a 'certified' device.
BTW, I'd like to thank Matt for keeping these lists up and running and
avoiding the ugliness of censorship, which is rampant on the VAF forum. For
those who don't follow it closely, Matt's recent thread on the Garmin
service subject didn't last a day before it was deleted (can't have one of
your advertisers called out in public, can you.....). I sometimes go for
much longer than I should without donating to Matt, and incidents like that
remind me why I should donate every year.

It sounds exactly right to me, based on my personal experience, and stories
I've heard from others for over a decade. They might offer a bit more of a
'deal' if you can find the right button (person) to push, but the opening
line is always outrageous flat rate fees for anything.
I've even experienced it myself, with Garmin wanting around $150 to replace
the $4 backup battery in my GPS III Pilot portable. When I cornered a
Garmin rep about it at a major flyin, he offered to give me a 'deal' at $70
if I sent it to his attention after the flyin. And the portable isn't even
a 'certified' device.
The vast majority of homebuilders (and even cert a/c owners) don't even
know that there are buttons available to push, and pay the outrageous fees
because they effectively have no other choice.
BTW, I'd like to thank Matt for keeping these lists up and running and
avoiding the ugliness of censorship, which is rampant on the VAF forum. For
those who don't follow it closely, Matt's recent thread on the Garmin
service subject didn't last a day before it was deleted (can't have one of

It's a shame that Garmin is so short sighted. Success has gone to their head

ervice from Dynon. I cannot say the same for Garmin. When there is any choic

The beauty of sport aviation. The little guys can get in and mix it up with the
biggies. I am very pleased with the OS software that Garmin uses and the G3X
is equivalent to the G500 in many respects. If it wasn't for Dynon and the 2008
recession, I doubt Garmin would not be servicing this area of aviation. The
FAA is generous enough to allow us to experiment and I must say it appears that
accidents are no more likely with the $35K G500 than with the $5K G3X. A
good example where Garmin had to come down to compete with the Dynon's of the
world. Now if we could get VAF and other "forums" to allow free speech perhaps
the suppliers would listen and not pull advertising support. Free exchange
of ideas, including criticism makes for better products and services that's why
many companies take Press Ganey surveys from their customers.

Dear Listers,
Each November I hold a PBS-like fund raiser to support the continued operation
and upgrade of the Email List and Fourm Services at Matronics. It's solely through
the Contributions of List members (you) that these Matronics Lists are possible.
You have probably noticed that there are no banner ads or pop-up windows on any of the Matronics Lists or related web sites such as the Forums site http://forums.matronics.com , Wiki site http://wiki.matronics.com , or other related pages such as the List Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search , List Browse http://www.matronics.com/listbrowse , etc. This is because I believe in a List experience that is completely about the sport we all enjoy - namely Airplanes and not about annoying advertisements.
During the month of November I will be sending out List messages every couple of
days reminding everyone that the Fund Raiser is underway. I ask for your patience
and understanding during the Fund Raiser and throughout these regular messages.
The Fund Raiser is only financial support mechanism I have to pay all
of the bills associated with running these lists. YOUR personal Contribution
counts!
This year we have a really HUGE and TERRIFIC line up of free gifts to go along
with the various Contribution levels. In fact, there are over 22 different gifts
to choose from! There's something for everyone, to be sure. Most all of
these gifts have been provided by some of the vary members and vendors that you'll
find on the Matronics Lists and they have been either donated or provided
at substantially discounted rates.
This year, these generous members include:
Andy Gold of the Builder's Bookstore http://www.buildersbooks.com
Andy is a very generous guy and I encourage you to visit his web site. I would
like publicly to thank Andy for his generous support of the Lists again this
year!!
Please make your List Contribution using any one of three secure methods including
using a credit card, PayPal, or by personal check. All three methods afford
you the opportunity to select one of this year's free gifts with a qualifying
Contribution amount!!
To make your Contribution, please visit the secure web site:
http://www.matronics.com/contribution
I would like to thank everyone in advance for their generous financial AND moral
support over the years!
Thank you!

| Subject: | A List Contribution - It's Your Personal Squelch Button... |
There is an automatic "squelch button" of sorts for the Fund Raiser messages.
Here's how it works... As soon as a List member makes a Contribution through
the Matronics Fund Raiser web site, their email address is automatically added
to this year's Contributor List and they instantly cease to receive further Fund
Raiser messages for the rest of the month! Its just that simple! :-)
I really do appreciate each and every one of your individual Contributions to support
the Lists. It is your support that enables me to upgrade the hardware
and software that are required to run a List Site such as this one. It also goes
to pay for the commercial-grade Internet connection and to pay the huge electric
bill to keep the computer gear running and the air conditioner powered
on. I run all of the Matronics Email List and Forums sites here locally which
allows me to control and monitor every aspect of the system for the utmost in
reliably and performance. Your personal Contribution matters because, when combined
with other Listers such as yourself, it pays the bills to keep this site
up and running. I accept exactly ZERO advertising dollars for the Matronics
Lists sites. I can't stand the pop-up ads and all other commercials that are
so prevalent on the Internet these days and I particularly don't want to have
it on my Email List sites.
If you appreciate the ad-free, grass-roots, down-home feel of the Matronics Email
Lists, please make a Contribution to keep it that way!!

| Subject: | [PLEASE READ] Why I Have A Fund Raiser... |
Since the beginning, the Matronics List and Forum experience has been free from
advertising. I have been approached by fair number of vendors wanting to tap
into the large volume of activity across the various lists hosted here, but have
always flatly refused. Everywhere you go on the Internet these days, a user
is pummeled with flashing banners and videos and ads for crap that they don't
want. Yahoo, Google and that ilk are not "free". The user must constantly
endure their barrage of commercialism thrust into their face at an ever increasing
rate. Enough is enough, and the Lists at Matronics choose not to succumb
to that.
That being said, running a service of this size is not "free". It costs a lot
of money to maintain the hardware, pay for the electricity, air conditioning,
maintenance contracts, etc, etc. etc. I choose to hold a PBS-like fund raiser
each year during the month of November where I simply send out a short email
every other day asking the members to make a small contribution to support the
operation. That being said, that contribution is completely voluntary and non-compulsory.
Many members choose not to contribute and that's fine.
However, a very modest percentage of the members do choose to make a contribution
and it is that financial support that keeps the Lists running. And that's
it. To my way of thinking, it is a much more pleasant way of maintaining the
Lists and Forums. The other 11 months of the year, you don't see a single advertisement
or request for support. That's refreshing and that is a List and Forum
that I want to belong to. I think other people feel the same way.
Won't you please take a minute to make your Contribution today and support these
Lists?

If you look forward to checking your List email everyday (and a lot of you have
written to say that you do!), then you're probably getting at least $20 or $30
worth of Entertainment from the Lists each year. You'd pay twice that for a
subscription to some magazine or even a dinner out. Isn't the List worth at least
that much to you? Wouldn't it be great if you could pay that amount and get
a well-managed media source free of advertising, SPAM, and viruses? Come to
think of it, you do... :-)

| Subject: | What's Your Contribution Used For? |
Dear Listers,
You might have wondered at some point, "What's my Contribution used for?" Here
are just a few examples of what your direct List support enables... It provides
for the expensive, commercial-grade Internet connection used on the List.
It pays for the regular system hardware and software upgrades enabling the highest
performance possible for List services such as the Archive Search Engine,
List Browser, and the Web Forums. It pays for the over 23 years of on-line
archive data always available for instant search and access. And, it offsets
the many hours spent writing, developing, and maintaining the custom applications
that power these List Service such as the List Browse, Search Engine, Forums,
and Wiki.
But most importantly, your List Contribution enables a forum where you and your
peers can communicate freely in an environment that is free from moderation,
censorship, advertising, commercialism, SPAM, and computer viruses.
It is YOUR CONTRIBUTION that directly enables all these aspects of Matronics List
services. Please support it today with your List Contribution. Its one of
the best investments you can make in your Sport!

Dear Listers,
The percentage of members making a Contribution to support the Lists this year
is currently behind last year by at this time by roughly 22%. Please take this
opportunity to show your support for the Matronics Lists and Forums!
Please remember that it is *solely* your direct Contributions that keep these Lists
and Forums up and running and most importantly - AD FREE! If the members
don't want to support the Lists directly, then I might have to add advertisements
to offset the costs of running the Lists. But I don't want to have to do
that. I really like the non-commercial atmosphere here and I think that a lot
of the members appreciate that too.
Please take a moment to make a Contribution today in support of the continued ad-free

Dear Listers,
Here in the United States, Thursday is our National day of Thanksgiving. Many
of us will be traveling to be with our families and friends to share in generous
feasts of plenty and giving thanks for the many blessings that have been bestowed
upon us.
Many Listers have expressed over the last couple of weeks how thankful they are
for the Email Lists and Forums here on the Matronics servers and for all of the
assistance and comradery they have experienced being a part of the Lists.
One of my favorite comments is when someone writes to me and says something like,
"Its the first thing I do in the morning while I'm having my morning coffee!".
That's a wonderful tribute to the purpose and function of these Lists.
Its always great to hear I'm not the only one that jumps out of bed each morning
to check my List email!!

their continued operation and upgrade?

At this point, unfortunately, we are still well behind last year in total Contributions

resources. Since there's no advertising budget or deep pockets to keep the

I raised the same concerns when he first started advertising the app. At
the time, his answer was basically, 'the guys who wrote it for me said it
has to be that way.' (Obviously a crock.)
So, Glenn, what about it? Are you willing to force your developers into
writing an app that isn't spyware? You might get more users if you do.

Charlie, et al. I have been fighting this battle with the app host from
day one. They insist, as I stated before, that these "permissions" are for
potential future add on's, nothing that I plan on doing. For example, and
again as I said before, if in the future I tried to change the app to allow
users to post pictures, that permission would be in effect. There is no
way I can "force them" to change this, I have tried to get them to change
this and other issues I have had with them. You could help me by
complaining to them. They are iBuildapp.com <http://ibuildapp.com> And
again as I have said, this is an Android issue, I am not an Android user
but I have been told you can just say no to these, true or not? I guess it
depends on the phone.
For this and several other issues I have had with them, I recently
converted ALL the data from the app to a website,
www.airportcourtesycars.com It has been a pleasure dealing with a company
like Go Daddy. So bottom line, now the app works flawlessly on ANY device,
just load the website on your phone, bookmark it to whatever screen you
prefer, and your problem is solved. The only difference is in the maps
feature, you click on each state map instead of a button on the main page.
It is optimized for a computer, so it is a little twitchy on a phone, but
looks great on a computer.
I hope this clears things up. Glenn

Hi Glenn,
Thanks for the quick response. Sounds like you need a different app
company. This is most certainly *not* an android issue.
With android, it's hard for the user to selectively disable a lot of the
stuff your app has permission to access. You can turn off location
services (the one thing that *might* be useful within the app to some
people) but the rest of the stuff there's little control except at the
app builder's level.
There is no requirement built into android to have access to things the
app doesn't actually need to access. Your image issue is a perfect
example. If the app doesn't actually use the camera or transmit/receive
photos, there is absolutely no reason for that to be included, *except*
that the app builder is worthlessly lazy, or more likely, using your app
users' personal information for the app builder's personal/business gain.
To see examples of minimal vs everything, just pick almost any function
& try a dozen different apps. Some will demand access to everything,
while others that perform the same function may only demand access to a
couple of areas. Try some digital level/bubble level apps, for example.
Thanks for building the same functions into a web site; it's a good
alternative 'til a solution can be found for the app.
Thanks for thinking of the app, and the work,
Charlie

Thanks Charlie, I don't disagree with what you have said, I just know these are
non issues with iPhone apps. That is probably why 9/10th of my downloads are
on iPhones. And I understand why people would not want to download an app that
asks for all those things. I do wonder however if the people that host the
app are really sitting in a back room somewhere looking at pictures.
And your right, I need a new company, but have been unable to find one that does
not require doing HTML code, which this one does not for computer dummies like
me. I have thought about dumping them and the app altogether and sticking
with the website that can be used on any phone, still may do that when my bill
comes due, as I have spent over a year working on this and I still hear the same
complaints, but at the same time how much people like the app. If I got paid
minimum wage for the hours I have put into this I could go out and buy a nice
new car. Take care and fly safe. Glenn

I hope you don't think that it's pictures we're worried about. Most
people have their entire lives on their phones, and the app gives the
author access to the entire phone.
Google's motto is 'don't be evil', but apparently they're happy to allow
app writers to be as evil as they want.

Dear Listers,
Each November I hold a PBS-like fund raiser to support the continued operation
and upgrade of the Email List and Fourm Services at Matronics. It's solely through
the Contributions of List members (you) that these Matronics Lists are possible.
You have probably noticed that there are no banner ads or pop-up windows on any of the Matronics Lists or related web sites such as the Forums site http://forums.matronics.com , Wiki site http://wiki.matronics.com , or other related pages such as the List Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search , List Browse http://www.matronics.com/listbrowse , etc. This is because I believe in a List experience that is completely about the sport we all enjoy - namely Airplanes and not about annoying advertisements.
During the month of November I will be sending out List messages every couple of
days reminding everyone that the Fund Raiser is underway. I ask for your patience
and understanding during the Fund Raiser and throughout these regular messages.
The Fund Raiser is only financial support mechanism I have to pay all
of the bills associated with running these lists. YOUR personal Contribution
counts!
This year we have a really HUGE and TERRIFIC line up of free gifts to go along
with the various Contribution levels. In fact, there are over 24 different gifts
to choose from! There's something for everyone, to be sure. Most all of
these gifts have been provided by some of the vary members and vendors that you'll
find on the Matronics Lists and they have been either donated or provided
at substantially discounted rates.
This year, these generous members include:
Andy Gold of the Builder's Bookstore http://www.buildersbooks.com
Bob Nuckolls of the AeroElectric Connection http://www.aeroelectric.com
Corbin Glowacki of My Pilot Store http://www.mypilotstore.com
George Race of Race Consulting http://www.mrrace.com/
Jon Croke of HomebuiltHELP http://www.homebuilthelp.com
These are very generous guys and I encourage you to visit their respective web
sites. Each one offers a unique and excellent aviation-related product line.
I would like publicly to thank Andy, Bob, Corbin, George, and Jon their generous
support of the Lists again this year!!
Please make your List Contribution using any one of three secure methods including
using a credit card, PayPal, or by personal check. All three methods afford
you the opportunity to select one of this year's free gifts with a qualifying
Contribution amount!!
To make your Contribution, please visit the secure web site:

support over the years!

There is an automatic "squelch button" of sorts for the Fund Raiser messages.
Here's how it works... As soon as a List member makes a Contribution through
the Matronics Fund Raiser web site, their email address is automatically added
to this year's Contributor List and they instantly cease to receive further Fund
Raiser messages for the rest of the month! Its just that simple! :-)
I really do appreciate each and every one of your individual Contributions to support
the Lists. It is your support that enables me to upgrade the hardware
and software that are required to run a List Site such as this one. It also goes
to pay for the commercial-grade Internet connection and to pay the huge electric
bill to keep the computer gear running and the air conditioner powered
on. I run all of the Matronics Email List and Forums sites here locally which
allows me to control and monitor every aspect of the system for the utmost in
reliably and performance. Your personal Contribution matters because, when combined
with other Listers such as yourself, it pays the bills to keep this site
up and running. I accept exactly ZERO advertising dollars for the Matronics
Lists sites. I can't stand the pop-up ads and all other commercials that are
so prevalent on the Internet these days and I particularly don't want to have
it on my Email List sites.
If you appreciate the ad-free, grass-roots, down-home feel of the Matronics Email
Lists, please make a Contribution to keep it that way!!

advertising. I have been approached by fair number of vendors wanting to tap
into the large volume of activity across the various lists hosted here, but have
always flatly refused. Everywhere you go on the Internet these days, a user
is pummeled with flashing banners and videos and ads for crap that they don't
want. Yahoo, Google and that ilk are not "free". The user must constantly
endure their barrage of commercialism thrust into their face at an ever increasing
rate. Enough is enough, and the Lists at Matronics choose not to succumb
to that.
That being said, running a service of this size is not "free". It costs a lot
of money to maintain the hardware, pay for the electricity, air conditioning,
maintenance contracts, etc, etc. etc. I choose to hold a PBS-like fund raiser
each year during the month of November where I simply send out a short email
every other day asking the members to make a small contribution to support the
operation. That being said, that contribution is completely voluntary and non-compulsory.
Many members choose not to contribute and that's fine.
However, a very modest percentage of the members do choose to make a contribution
and it is that financial support that keeps the Lists running. And that's
it. To my way of thinking, it is a much more pleasant way of maintaining the
Lists and Forums. The other 11 months of the year, you don't see a single advertisement
or request for support. That's refreshing and that is a List and Forum
that I want to belong to. I think other people feel the same way.
Won't you please take a minute to make your Contribution today and support these
Lists?

| Subject: | What's Your Contribution Used For? |
Dear Listers,
You might have wondered at some point, "What's my Contribution used for?" Here
are just a few examples of what your direct List support enables... It provides
for the expensive, commercial-grade Internet connection used on the List.
It pays for the regular system hardware and software upgrades enabling the highest
performance possible for List services such as the Archive Search Engine,
List Browser, and the Web Forums. It pays for the over 23 years of on-line
archive data always available for instant search and access. And, it offsets
the many hours spent writing, developing, and maintaining the custom applications
that power these List Service such as the List Browse, Search Engine, Forums,
and Wiki.
But most importantly, your List Contribution enables a forum where you and your
peers can communicate freely in an environment that is free from moderation,
censorship, advertising, commercialism, SPAM, and computer viruses.
It is YOUR CONTRIBUTION that directly enables all these aspects of Matronics List
services. Please support it today with your List Contribution. Its one of
the best investments you can make in your Sport!

| Subject: | Value of the List... |
If you look forward to checking your List email everyday (and a lot of you have
written to say that you do!), then you're probably getting at least $20 or $30
worth of Entertainment from the Lists each year. You'd pay twice that for a
subscription to some magazine or even a dinner out. Isn't the List worth at least
that much to you? Wouldn't it be great if you could pay that amount and get
a well-managed media source free of advertising, SPAM, and viruses? Come to
think of it, you do... :-)

Dear Listers,
The percentage of members making a Contribution to support the Lists this year
is currently behind last year by at this time by roughly 28%. Please take this
opportunity to show your support for the Matronics Lists and Forums!
Please remember that it is *solely* your direct Contributions that keep these Lists
and Forums up and running and most importantly - AD FREE! If the members
don't want to support the Lists directly, then I might have to add advertisements
to offset the costs of running the Lists. But I don't want to have to do
that. I really like the non-commercial atmosphere here and I think that a lot
of the members appreciate that too.

Dear Matronics Email List an/or Forum User,
The Matronics Internet connectivity will be upgraded on April 17 through April
18, 2017. During the upgrade connections to the Matronics and AeroElectric web
servers may be unavailable. Additionally, Matronics Email List email will not
be redistributed.
Internet Connectivity bandwidth will be significantly increased by a factor of
7X for downloads and 50X for uploads, which represents a significant increase
in performance. Reliability should also increase in terms.
I will send out a follow up message when the upgrade has been completed.

| From: | "gbrasch" <airportcars101(at)gmail.com> |
If you are a user of the Airport Courtesy Cars site, I would like to inform you
of a major upgrade and improvement. Effective mid December, A.C.C.'s will be
fully web based, and will continue to be a secure site. Many of you over the past
couple of years have asked for these improvements, the biggest user request
being the site does not work on certain devices. By converting A.C.C's to a
web based site, the advantage is clear, the site will now work on any device.
Also, there is no possibility of bugs or crashes like an app. The information
will be the same.
During this transition period, it is important for you to bookmark the web address
on your device so your service remains uninterrupted. For further information,
click on the large red banner on the main page of the site, or here:

| Subject: | PLEASE READ - Matronics Email List 2017 Fund Raiser During November! |
Dear Listers,
Each November I hold a PBS-like fund raiser to support the continued operation
and upgrade of the Email List and Fourm Services at Matronics. It's solely through
the Contributions of List members (you) that these Matronics Lists are possible.
You have probably noticed that there are no banner ads or pop-up windows on any of the Matronics Lists or related web sites such as the Forums site http://forums.matronics.com , Wiki site http://wiki.matronics.com , or other related pages such as the List Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search , List Browse http://www.matronics.com/listbrowse , etc. This is because I believe in a List experience that is completely about the sport we all enjoy - namely Airplanes and not about annoying advertisements.
During the month of November I will be sending out List messages every couple of
days reminding everyone that the Fund Raiser is underway. I ask for your patience
and understanding during the Fund Raiser and throughout these regular messages.
The Fund Raiser is only financial support mechanism I have to pay all
of the bills associated with running these lists. YOUR personal Contribution
counts!
This year we have a really HUGE and TERRIFIC line up of free gifts to go along
with the various Contribution levels. In fact, there are 9 great gifts to choose
from! There's something for everyone, to be sure.
Please make your List Contribution using any one of three secure methods including
using a Credit Card, PayPal, or by Personal Check. All three methods afford
you the opportunity to select one of this year's free gifts with a qualifying
Contribution amount!!
To make your Contribution, please visit the secure web site:
http://www.matronics.com/contribution
I would like to thank everyone in advance for their generous financial AND moral
support over the years!

| Subject: | Help Keep Airport Courtesy Cars Running |
| From: | "gbrasch" <airportcars101(at)gmail.com> |
Last November, a few people (out of thousands) complained to me that my fundraising
efforts for the Airport Courtesy Cars site were too often. In response,
I will only ask for donations once a year, in November.
In the past few months I have transferred all the data to a web based platform.
As a result, the site will work on ANY device with no bugs, crashes, or Android
and Apple permissions required. Please refer to website for more details.
The site now lists over 1,830 courtesy cars across the U.S. I receive a very small
percent of my operating costs from advertisers. Most of my expenses are covered
from small donations from pilots like you. I take no salary.
Please consider any donation to keep the site up and running in the coming year.
Donations can be made via the secure PayPal tab on the site (you don not need
a PayPal account), or by mailing your donation to: Airport Courtesy Cars.
P.O. Box 85762, Tucson, Arizona 85754. All donors will be listed on the donor
page (unless you request not to be). Any donation is greatly appreciated.
Please share this post with a fellow pilot who might benefit from A.C.C.s
You can continue to email me your updates and suggestions to: airportcars101(at)gmail.com Thank you, Glenn www.airportcourtesycars.com

| Subject: | A List Contribution - It's Your Personal Squelch Button... |
There is an automatic "squelch button" of sorts for the Fund Raiser messages.
Here's how it works... As soon as a List member makes a Contribution through
the Matronics Fund Raiser web site, their email address is automatically added
to this year's Contributor
List and they instantly cease to receive further Fund Raiser messages for the rest
of the month! Its just that simple! :-)
I really do appreciate each and every one of your individual Contributions to support
the Lists. It is your support that enables me to upgrade the hardware
and software that are required to run a List Site such as this one. It also goes
to pay for the
commercial-grade Internet connection and to pay the huge electric bill to keep
the computer gear running and the air conditioner powered on. I run all of the
Matronics Email List and Forums sites here locally which allows me to control
and monitor every aspect
of the system for the utmost in reliably and performance. Your personal Contribution
matters because, when combined with other Listers such as yourself, it
pays the bills to keep this site up and running. I accept exactly ZERO advertising
dollars for the
Matronics Lists sites. I can't stand the pop-up ads and all other commercials
that are so prevalent on the Internet these days and I particularly don't want
to have it on my Email List sites.
If you appreciate the ad-free, grass-roots, down-home feel of the Matronics Email
Lists, please make a Contribution to keep it that way!!

there is no simple way to filter them.]

operation. That being said, that contribution is completely voluntary and non-compulsory.
Many members choose not to contribute and that's fine.
However, a very modest percentage of the members do choose to make a contribution
and it is that financial support that keeps the Lists running. And that's
it. To my way of thinking, it is a much more pleasant way of maintaining the
Lists and Forums. The other 11 months of the year, you don't see a single advertisement
or request for support. That's refreshing and that is a List and Forum
that I want to belong to. I think other people feel the same way.
Won't you please take a minute to make your Contribution today and support these
Lists?

| Subject: | What's Your Contribution Used For? |
Dear Listers,
You might have wondered at some point, "What's my Contribution used for?" Here
are just a few examples of what your direct List support enables... It provides
for the expensive, commercial-grade Internet connection used on the List.
It pays for the regular system hardware and software upgrades enabling the highest
performance possible for List services such as the Archive Search Engine,
List Browser, and the Web Forums. It pays for the over 23 years of on-line
archive data always available for instant search and access. And, it offsets
the many hours spent writing, developing, and maintaining the custom applications
that power these List Service such as the List Browse, Search Engine, Forums,
and Wiki.
But most importantly, your List Contribution enables a forum where you and your
peers can communicate freely in an environment that is free from moderation,
censorship, advertising, commercialism, SPAM, and computer viruses.
It is YOUR CONTRIBUTION that directly enables all these aspects of Matronics List
services. Please support it today with your List Contribution. Its one of
the best investments you can make in your Sport!

If you look forward to checking your List email everyday (and a lot of you have
written to say that you do!), then you're probably getting at least $20 or $30
worth of Entertainment from the Lists each year. You'd pay twice that for a
subscription to some
magazine or even a dinner out. Isn't the List worth at least that much to you?
Wouldn't it be great if you could pay that amount and get a well-managed media
source free of advertising, SPAM, and viruses? Come to think of it, you do...

| Subject: | PLEASE READ - Matronics Email List 2018 Fund Raiser During November! |
Dear Listers,
Each November I hold a PBS-like fund raiser to support the continued operation
and upgrade of the Email List and Fourm Services at Matronics. It's solely through
the Contributions of List members (you) that these Matronics Lists are possible.
You have probably noticed that there are no banner ads or pop-up windows on any of the Matronics Lists or related web sites such as the Forums site http://forums.matronics.com , Wiki site http://wiki.matronics.com , or other related pages such as the List Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search , List Browse http://www.matronics.com/listbrowse , etc. This is because I believe in a List experience that is completely about the sport we all enjoy - namely Airplanes and not about annoying advertisements.
During the month of November I will be sending out List messages every couple of
days reminding everyone that the Fund Raiser is underway. I ask for your patience
and understanding during the Fund Raiser and throughout these regular messages.
The Fund Raiser is only financial support mechanism I have to pay all
of the bills associated with running these lists. YOUR personal Contribution
counts!
This year we have a really HUGE and TERRIFIC line up of free gifts to go along
with the various Contribution levels. In fact, there are 9 great gifts to choose
from! There's something for everyone, to be sure.
Please make your List Contribution using any one of three secure methods including
using a Credit Card, PayPal, or by Personal Check. All three methods afford
you the opportunity to select one of this year's free gifts with a qualifying
Contribution amount!!
To make your Contribution, please visit the secure web site:
http://www.matronics.com/contribution
I would like to thank everyone in advance for their generous financial AND moral
support over the years!
Thank you!

| Subject: | [PLEASE READ] Why I Have A Fund Raiser... |
Since the beginning, the Matronics List and Forum experience has been free from
advertising. I have been approached by fair number of vendors wanting to tap
into the large volume of activity across the various lists hosted here, but have
always flatly refused. Everywhere you go on the Internet these days, a user
is pummeled with flashing banners and videos and ads for crap that they don't
want. Yahoo, Google and that ilk are not "free". The user must constantly
endure their barrage of commercialism thrust into their face at an ever increasing
rate. Enough is enough, and the Lists at Matronics choose not to succumb
to that.
That being said, running a service of this size is not "free". It costs a lot
of money to maintain the hardware, pay for the electricity, Commercial-greade
Internet Connection, air conditioning, maintenance contracts, etc, etc. etc.
I choose to hold a PBS-like fund raiser each year during the month of November
where I simply send out a short email every other day asking the members to make
a small contribution to support the operation. That being said, that contribution
is completely voluntary and non-compulsory. Many members choose not

| Subject: | A List Contribution - It's Your Personal Squelch Button... |
There is an automatic "squelch button" of sorts for the Fund Raiser messages.
Here's how it works... As soon as a List member makes a Contribution through
the Matronics Fund Raiser web site, their email address is automatically added
to this year's Contributor List and they instantly cease to receive further Fund
Raiser messages for the rest of the month! Its just that simple! :-)
I really do appreciate each and every one of your individual Contributions to support
the Lists. It is your support that enables me to upgrade the hardware
and software that are required to run a List Site such as this one. It also goes
to pay for the commercial-grade Internet connection and to pay the huge electric
bill to keep the computer gear running and the air conditioner powered
on. I run all of the Matronics Email List and Forums sites here locally which
allows me to control and monitor every aspect of the system for the utmost in
reliably and performance. Your personal Contribution matters because, when combined
with other Listers such as yourself, it pays the bills to keep this site
up and running. I accept exactly ZERO advertising dollars for the Matronics
Lists sites. I can't stand the pop-up ads and all other commercials that are
so prevalent on the Internet these days and I particularly don't want to have
it on my Email List sites.
If you appreciate the ad-free, grass-roots, down-home feel of the Matronics Email
Lists, please make a Contribution to keep it that way!!

| Subject: | What's My Contribution Used For? |
Dear Listers,
Some have asked, "What's my Contribution used for?" and that's a good question.
Here are just a few examples of what your direct List support enables. It provides
for the very expensive, commercial-grade Internet connection used on the
List insuring maximum performance and minimal contention when accessing List
services. It pays for the regular system hardware and software upgrades enabling
the highest performance possible for services such as the Archive Search Engine,
List Browser, and Forums. It pays for narly 30 years (yeah, I really said
*30* years) worth of online archive data available for instant random search
and access. And, it offsets the many hours spent writing, developing, and maintaining
the custom applications that power this List Service such as the List
Browse, Search Engine, Forums, and Wiki.
But most importantly, your List Contribution enables a forum where you and your
peers can communicate freely in an environment that is free from moderation,
censorship, advertising, commercialism, SPAM, and computer viruses. How many places
on the Internet can you make all those statements these days? It is YOUR
CONTRIBUTION that directly enables these many aspects of these valuable List
services. Please support it today with your List Contribution. Its one of the
best investments you can make in your Sport...

| Subject: | Alternator without internal regulator |
New to the forum. My alternator is on the blink and needs to be replaced.
I read Aero Electric and want to go with an alternator with external
regulator. I would be adding an OV module. From my understanding if the
alternator is taken off line in flight by the OV module you can destroy the
alternator, but maybe it doesn't matter since the regulator failed and the
alternator needs to be replaced anyways. I wouldn't be opposed to using an
internal regulator if someone can explain.
If I can get a reliable alternator and add the ext. regulator and OV
protection and spend $200, why pay $600 for an aircraft alternator? I know
most alternators have internal regulators but don't know any that have
external. Google search for alternators isn't very good plus I wouldn't
know what size would fit. Also I saw Aircraft Spruce sells B&C OV modules
for $50 and I've seen others for much less, $10, but don't know if it's an
equal to B&C OV module?
So if someone can direct me to an alternator, external regulator and OV
module that would be great. 50A alternator would be plenty. I don't know
if there is a 50 or 60A on there now but there is a 35A breaker and I've
never had it pop until recently when the alternator acted up.
Thanks,
Daren

Hi, I have an RV-7 with a LYCO IO-360 & a constant speed prop; and, I would like
to get some actual performance figures to use in FltPlan.com. I would very
much appreciate any data/performance figures that you use for X-country planning.
Hopefully I can pick your brain for Altitude, RPM, Manifold Pressure/Throttle
setting, and what IAS & TAS speeds those settings produce. It would also
be greatly appreciated if you would include your Climb & Descent speeds and GPH
that you fly. Also, any tips or tricks that you have learned in your X-country
planning and flying.
Thank you very much

Hello
I have an RV7A with over 400 hours on a Lycoming IO360, dual Lightspeed Ignition,
Hartzell constant speed prop. We have done lots of cross country from coast
to coast and into the Northwest Territories. I like to fly between 8,000 and
12,000 feet but will go down to 6,500 feet if there are big head winds. Above
12,000 I go on oxygen but that is usually when I am alone. I always file 150
knots TAS and that is pretty honest. In cruise I dont look at IAS, TAS is all
I am concerned with. I usually cruise at 2300 or 2250 RPM and burn 29 litres per
hour or just under 8 US gallons per hour. I am a big advocate of Lean of Peak
and on the Skyview LEAN mode usually run 20 to 50 degrees LOP.
I suggest you look at Pelican Perch by John Deakins columns on AvWeb. John says "Lean-of-peak operation is cooler, cleaner, and kinder to the engine. See Pelican Perch #15, #16, #18, and a few others on operating a flat, air cooled engine. https://www.avweb.com/flight-safety/pelicans-perch-index/
Also see Mike Busch of Savvy Aviation https://www.savvyaviation.com/ Mike is amazing. I have heard him speak at OSH a number of times and he is usually at the top of my list when looking at OSH forums to attend. Mike is also an advocate of Lean of Peak and says manifold pressure is really suction. As he recommends, I now on takeoff go to full throttle and if I am climbing up for a cross country I will not touch the throttle until I want to slow down during descent. I will tweek the RPM back to about 2500 during climb.
Good Luck.

When flying high in my RV7A...
Throttle is always full open for max available manifold presssure,
I usually use 2400rpm for cruise because I've had it dynamically
balanced at that RPM. Yours may be different.
Once established in cruise, I lean to LOP via the big pull method and
end up around 40-60 LOP resulting in 7.5gph, 160Knots (TAS) at
8,000-11,000'. A little slower when higher (maybe 155TAS @ 12,500'
(from memory).
I have fuel injection and dual P-mags (spark advance) so not all will be
able to get the same results. What you really need to do is to do some
research on the equipment/configurations onboard, plan some test cards
and go fly. You'll want to know a bunch more stuff if it's not in the
POH the builder made (or didn't). Things like...
best rate/angle of climb.
Max power fuel consumption.
Various cruise speed fuel consumptions.
Best glide speed (mine was a range).
Least amount of sink (power off glide). Be sure to do it with prop fine
AND coarse.
Doing these things yourself will bring a lot of understanding and make
you a better pilot. Each Amateur-built RV7 is somewhat unique for
various reasons, and we like it this way. :)

If you have one cylinder running much cooler than the others it means the mixture
going into that cylinder is richer than the others. If you have fuel injection
you can change out the injector to that cylinder for an injector that will
give a leaner mixture. If you have a carburetor there isn't a whole lot you can
do.
The experts in this are the guys at GAMI in Ada, OK. https://gami.com/ They will
look for all your cruise data either downloaded or manually written out and
they will provide new injectors, for a price.

Dear Listers,
Each November I hold a PBS-like fund raiser to support the continued operation
and upgrade of the Email List and Fourm Services at Matronics. It's solely through
the Contributions of List members (you) that these Matronics Lists are possible.
You have probably noticed that there are no banner ads or pop-up windows on any of the Matronics Lists or related web sites such as the Forums site http://forums.matronics.com , Wiki site http://wiki.matronics.com , or other related pages such as the List Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search , List Browse http://www.matronics.com/listbrowse , etc. This is because I believe in a List experience that is completely about the sport we all enjoy - namely Airplanes and not about annoying advertisements.
During the month of November I will be sending out List messages every couple of
days reminding everyone that the Fund Raiser is underway. I ask for your patience
and understanding during the Fund Raiser and throughout these regular messages.
The Fund Raiser is only financial support mechanism I have to pay all
of the bills associated with running these lists. YOUR personal Contribution
counts!
This year we have a really HUGE and TERRIFIC line up of free gifts to go along
with the various Contribution levels. In fact, there are 9 great gifts to choose
from! There's something for everyone, to be sure.
Please make your List Contribution using any one of three secure methods including
using a Credit Card, PayPal, or by Personal Check. All three methods afford
you the opportunity to select one of this year's free gifts with a qualifying
Contribution amount!!
To make your Contribution, please visit the secure web site:

support over the years!

There is an automatic "squelch button" of sorts for the Fund Raiser messages.
Here's how it works... As soon as a List member makes a Contribution through
the Matronics Fund Raiser web site, their email address is automatically added
to this year's Contributor List and they instantly cease to receive further Fund
Raiser messages for the rest of the month! Its just that simple! :-)
I really do appreciate each and every one of your individual Contributions to support
the Lists. It is your support that enables me to upgrade the hardware
and software that are required to run a List Site such as this one. It also goes
to pay for the commercial-grade Internet connection and to pay the huge electric
bill to keep the computer gear running and the air conditioner powered
on. I run all of the Matronics Email List and Forums sites here locally which
allows me to control and monitor every aspect of the system for the utmost in
reliably and performance. Your personal Contribution matters because, when combined
with other Listers such as yourself, it pays the bills to keep this site
up and running. I accept exactly ZERO advertising dollars for the Matronics
Lists sites. I can't stand the pop-up ads and all other commercials that are
so prevalent on the Internet these days and I particularly don't want to have
it on my Email List sites.
If you appreciate the ad-free, grass-roots, down-home feel of the Matronics Email
Lists, please make a Contribution to keep it that way!!

| Subject: | [PLEASE READ] Why I Have A Fund Raiser... |
Since the beginning, the Matronics List and Forum experience has been free from
advertising. I have been approached by fair number of vendors wanting to tap
into the large volume of activity across the various lists hosted here, but have
always flatly refused. Everywhere you go on the Internet these days, a user
is pummeled with flashing banners and videos and ads for crap that they don't
want. Yahoo, Google and that ilk are not "free". The user must constantly
endure their barrage of commercialism thrust into their face at an ever increasing
rate. Enough is enough, and the Lists at Matronics choose not to succumb
to that.
That being said, running a service of this size is not "free". It costs a lot
of money to maintain the hardware, pay for the electricity, Commercial-greade
Internet Connection, air conditioning, maintenance contracts, etc, etc. etc.
I choose to hold a PBS-like fund raiser each year during the month of November
where I simply send out a short email every other day asking the members to make
a small contribution to support the operation. That being said, that contribution
is completely voluntary and non-compulsory. Many members choose not
to contribute and that's fine.
However, a very modest percentage of the members do choose to make a contribution
and it is that financial support that keeps the Lists running. And that's
it. To my way of thinking, it is a much more pleasant way of maintaining the
Lists and Forums. The other 11 months of the year, you don't see a single advertisement
or request for support. That's refreshing and that is a List and Forum
that I want to belong to. I think other people feel the same way.

If you look forward to checking your List email everyday (and a lot of you have
written to say that you do!), then you're probably getting at least $20 or $30
worth of Entertainment from the Lists each year. You'd pay twice that for a
subscription to some magazine or even a dinner out. Isn't the List worth at least
that much to you? Wouldn't it be great if you could pay that amount and get
a well-managed media source free of advertising, SPAM, and viruses? Come to

| Subject: | [Please Read] What are "The Lists" and Who's This Matt Dralle? |
Dear Listers,
Who is Matt Dralle and what exactly are these Lists? Well, I've been working in
the information technology industry for over 35 years primarily in computer
networking design and implementation. I have also done extensive work in web
development and CGI design during that time, along with a fair amount of embedded
system and software development as well.
I started the Matronics Email Lists back in 1990 with about 30 fellow RV builders
from around the world. Since that time, I have added 80 other kinds of aircraft
related Lists to the line up and numerous other List related services such
as the Forums, Wiki, Archives and Search Engine just to name a few.
For flexibility and reliability, I have chosen to run all of my own servers here
locally. Other List-related systems include a 1 Gigabit, fully switched network
infrastructure, a commercial-grade Netscreen firewall, a Barracuda spam filter,
a local 1G Internet router, and a commercial-grade business 1Gb/s Internet
connection with full static addressing.
The computer servers found here include a quad-processor Xeon Linux server for
List web services, a dual-processor Xeon Linux system dedicated to the email processing
List functions, and another P4 Linux system serving as a remote storage
disk farm for the archives, databases, and for an on-line hard drive-based
backup system with 3.2 Terra Bytes of storage! This entire system is protected
by three large, commercial-grade uninterrupted power supply (UPS) systems that
assure the Lists are available even during a local power outage! Speaking
of power, imagine how much electricity it takes to run all of these systems.
One month a couple of Summers ago, I had a staggering $1368 bill for electricity
alone!
Recently, I upgraded all of the computer racking infrastructure including new power
feeds and dedicated air conditioning for the room that serves as the Computer
Center for the Matronics Email Lists.
As you can see, I take running these Lists very seriously and I am dedicated to
providing an always-on, 24x7x365 experience for each and every Lister.
But, building and running this system isn't cheap. As I've stated before, I don't
support any of these systems with commercial advertising on the Lists. It
is supported 100% through List member Contributions! That means you... and you...
and YOU!
To that end, I hold a List Fund Raiser each November and ask that members make
a small Contribution to support the continued operation and upgrade of this ever-expanding
system. Its solely YOUR Contributions that keeps it running!
Won't you please take a moment to make a Contribution to support these Lists!

for the Lists.
Won't you take minute and assure that your name is on the upcoming LOC? Tell others

Dear Listers,
Here in the United States, Thursday is our National day of Thanksgiving. Many
of us will be traveling to be with our families and friends to share in generous
feasts of plenty and giving thanks for many blessings that have been bestowed
upon us.
Many Listers have expressed over the last couple of weeks how thankful they are
for the Email Lists and Forums here on the Matronics servers and for all of the
assistance and comradery they have experienced being a part of the Lists.
One of my favorite kind of
comments is when write to me and says something like, "Its the first thing I do
in the morning while I'm having my morning coffee!". That's a wonderful tribute
to the purpose and function of these Lists. Its always great to hear I'm
not the only one that jumps
out of bed each morning to check my List email!!
Won't you take a minute today and show your appreciation for these Lists and for
their continued operation and upgrade?

weeks ago and it's time that I published this year's List of Contributors.
It is the people on this list that directly make these Email Lists and Forums
possible! Their generous Contributions keep the servers and Internet connection

Dear Listers,
Normally, in November I hold a List Fund Raiser where I ask Listers to make a Contribution
to support the operation and upkeep of these List resources.
In light of the happenings during this 2020 season, I have decided to postpone
the Fund Raiser this year and encourage members to focus on their families and
personal needs.
I want to thank everyone that has supported the Lists in the past. Despite the
uncertain times we're experiencing right now, I want to assure everyone that
I fully intend to continue supporting the Lists as I always have; with no anticipated
degradation in service levels.
Happy Holidays to all my friends around the world!

| Subject: | PLEASE READ - Matronics Email List 2018 Fund Raiser During November! |
Dear Listers,
Each November I hold a PBS-like fund raiser to support the continued operation
and upgrade of the Email List and Fourm Services at Matronics. It's solely through
the Contributions of List members (you) that these Matronics Lists are possible.
You have probably noticed that there are no banner ads or pop-up windows on any of the Matronics Lists or related web sites such as the Forums site http://forums.matronics.com , Wiki site http://wiki.matronics.com , or other related pages such as the List Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search , List Browse http://www.matronics.com/listbrowse , etc. This is because I believe in a List experience that is completely about the sport we all enjoy - namely Airplanes and not about annoying advertisements.
During the month of November, I will be sending out List messages every couple
of days reminding everyone that the Fund Raiser is underway. I ask for your patience
and understanding during the Fund Raiser and throughout these regular
messages. The Fund Raiser is only financial support mechanism I have to pay all
of the bills associated with running these lists. YOUR personal Contribution
counts!
This year we have a really HUGE and TERRIFIC line up of free gifts to go along
with the various Contribution levels. In fact, there are 10 great gifts to choose
from! There's something for everyone, to be sure.
Last year because of the COVID hardships everyone was feeling, I opted to not have
a Fund Rasiser, and carried the finicial burden solely myself. I'm hoping
this year everyone will dig in make make up for the lost year.
Please make your List Contribution using any one of three secure methods including
using a Credit Card, PayPal, or by Personal Check. All three methods afford
you the opportunity to select one of this year's free gifts with a qualifying
Contribution amount!!
To make your Contribution, please visit the secure web site:
http://www.matronics.com/contribution
I would like to thank everyone in advance for their generous financial AND moral
support over the years!
Thank you!

| Subject: | [PLEASE READ] Why I Have A Fund Raiser... |
Since the beginning, the Matronics List and Forum experience has been free from
advertising. I have been approached by fair number of vendors wanting to tap
into the large volume of activity across the various lists hosted here, but have
always flatly refused. Everywhere you go on the Internet these days, a user
is pummeled with flashing banners and videos and ads for crap that they don't
want. Yahoo, Google and that ilk are not "free". The user must constantly
endure their barrage of commercialism thrust into their face at an ever increasing
rate. Enough is enough, and the Lists at Matronics choose not to succumb
to that.
That being said, running a service of this size is not "free". It costs a lot
of money to maintain the hardware, pay for the electricity, Commercial-greade
Internet Connection, air conditioning, maintenance contracts, etc, etc. etc.
I choose to hold a PBS-like fund raiser each year during the month of November
where I simply send out a short email every other day asking the members to make
a small contribution to support the operation. That being said, that contribution
is completely voluntary and non-compulsory. Many members choose not
to contribute and that's fine.
However, a very modest percentage of the members do choose to make a contribution
and it is that financial support that keeps the Lists running. And that's
it. To my way of thinking, it is a much more pleasant way of maintaining the
Lists and Forums. The other 11 months of the year, you don't see a single advertisement
or request for support. That's refreshing and that is a List and Forum
that I want to belong to. I think other people feel the same way.
Won't you please take a minute to make your Contribution today and support these
Lists?

| Subject: | List Contribution - Value of the List... |
If you look forward to checking your List email everyday (and a lot of you have
written to say that you do!), then you're probably getting at least $20 or $30
worth of Entertainment from the Lists each year. You'd pay twice that for a
subscription to some magazine or even a dinner out. Isn't the List worth at least
that much to you? Wouldn't it be great if you could pay that amount and get
a well-managed media source free of advertising, SPAM, and viruses? Come to
think of it, you do... :-)

There is an automatic "squelch button" of sorts for the Fund Raiser messages.
Here's how it works... As soon as a List member makes a Contribution through
the Matronics Fund Raiser web site, their email address is automatically added
to this year's Contributor List and they instantly cease to receive further Fund
Raiser messages for the rest of the month! Its just that simple! :-)
I really do appreciate each and every one of your individual Contributions to support
the Lists. It is your support that enables me to upgrade the hardware
and software that are required to run a List Site such as this one. It also goes
to pay for the commercial-grade Internet connection and to pay the huge electric
bill to keep the computer gear running and the air conditioner powered
on. I run all of the Matronics Email List and Forums sites here locally which
allows me to control and monitor every aspect of the system for the utmost in
reliably and performance. Your personal Contribution matters because, when combined
with other Listers such as yourself, it pays the bills to keep this site
up and running. I accept exactly ZERO advertising dollars for the Matronics
Lists sites. I can't stand the pop-up ads and all other commercials that are
so prevalent on the Internet these days and I particularly don't want to have
it on my Email List sites.
If you appreciate the ad-free, grass-roots, down-home feel of the Matronics Email
Lists, please make a Contribution to keep it that way!!

| Subject: | PLEASE READ - Matronics Email List 2022 Fund Raiser During November! |
Dear Listers,
Each November I hold a PBS-like fund raiser to support the continued operation
and upgrade of the Email List and Fourm Services at Matronics. It's solely through
the Contributions of List members (you) that these Matronics Lists are possible.
You have probably noticed that there are no banner ads or pop-up windows on any of the Matronics Lists or related web sites such as the Forums site http://forums.matronics.com , Wiki site http://wiki.matronics.com , or other related pages such as the List Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search , List Browse http://www.matronics.com/listbrowse , etc. This is because I believe in a List experience that is completely about the sport we all enjoy - namely Airplanes and not about annoying advertisements.
During the month of November I will be sending out List messages every couple of
days reminding everyone that the Fund Raiser is underway. I ask for your patience
and understanding during the Fund Raiser and throughout these regular messages.
The Fund Raiser is only financial support mechanism I have to pay all
of the bills associated with running these lists. YOUR personal Contribution
counts!
This year we have a really TERRIFIC line up of free gifts to go along with the
various Contribution levels. There's something for everyone, to be sure.
Please make your List Contribution using any one of three secure methods including
using a Credit Card, PayPal, or by Personal Check. All three methods afford
you the opportunity to select one of this year's free gifts with a qualifying
Contribution amount!!
To make your Contribution, please visit the secure web site:
https://matronics.com/contribution
I would like to thank everyone in advance for their generous financial AND moral
support over the years!
Thank you!

| Subject: | [PLEASE READ] Why I Have A Fund Raiser... |
Since the beginning, the Matronics List and Forum experience has been free from
advertising. I have been approached by fair number of vendors wanting to tap
into the large volume of activity across the various lists hosted here, but have
always flatly refused. Everywhere you go on the Internet these days, a user
is pummeled with flashing banners and videos and ads for crap that they don't
want. Yahoo, Google and that elk are not "free". The user must constantly
endure their barrage of commercialism thrust into their face at an ever increasing
rate. Enough is enough, and the Lists at Matronics choose not to succumb
to that.
That being said, running a service of this size is not "free". It costs a lot
of money to maintain the hardware, pay for the electricity, air conditioning,
maintenance contracts, etc, etc. etc. I choose to hold a PBS-like fund raiser
each year during the month of November where I simply send out a short email
every other day asking the members to make a small contribution to support the
operation. That being said, that contribution is completely voluntary and non-compulsory.
Many members choose not to contribute and that's fine.
However, a very modest percentage of the members do choose to make a contribution
and it is that financial support that keeps the Lists running. And that's
it. To my way of thinking, it is a much more pleasant way of maintaining the
Lists and Forums. The other 11 months of the year, you don't see a single advertisement
or request for support. That's refreshing and that is a List and Forum
that I want to belong to. I think other people feel the same way.

Dear Listers,
You might have wondered at some point, "What's my Contribution used for?" Here
are just a few examples of what your direct List support enables... It provides
for the expensive, commercial-grade Internet connection used on the List.
It pays for the regular system hardware and software upgrades enabling the highest
performance possible for List services such as the Archive Search Engine,
List Browser, and the Web Forums. It pays for the over 25 years of on-line
archive data always available for instant search and access. And, it offsets
the many hours spent writing, developing, and maintaining the custom applications
that power these List Service such as the List Browse, Search Engine, Forums,
and Wiki.
But most importantly, your List Contribution enables a forum where you and your
peers can communicate freely in an environment that is free from moderation,
censorship, advertising, commercialism, SPAM, and computer viruses.
It is YOUR CONTRIBUTION that directly enables all these aspects of Matronics List
services. Please support it today with your List Contribution. Its one of
the best investments you can make in your Sport!

Dear Listers,
There are just a Two days left for this year's List Fund Raiser! If you've been
putting off making a Contribution until the last minute, well, this is it!
The last minute, that is... :-) There are some GREAT new gift selections to choose
from this year. I personally want at least three of them! There's probably
something you can't live without too! And, best of all it supports your
Lists!
Please remember that there isn't any sort of commercial advertising on the Lists
and the *only* means of keeping these Lists running is through your Contributions
during this Fund Raiser. Let's make this a "Black Friday" for the Lists!
Please make a Contribution today!

| Subject: | Matronics Email List Digest Operational Change... |
Dear Matronics Listers,
Beginning December 16, 2022, I am planning to modify the way Matronics List Digest
Email is handled. A Digest message will be sent daily ONLY if there is at
least ONE message posted to the Realtime List on the given day. If there are
no messages posted *No Digest will be sent*.
This change is being made to soften the SPAM filtering effect in the Internet at
large on the "Matronics.com" domain. Matronics.com is frequently unceremoniously
blocked because of perceived "SPAM" content. For example, yahoo.com along
with a number of other significant domains has been blocking matronics.com
for a long time.
Hopefully, this operational change will address the issue.

| Subject: | Nylon #2 Phillips Screw Driver Bits...? |
Hi Fellow RV Builders,
After 12 years since the test-flight, I finally got my RV-8 painted! Cascade
Customs and Design in Bend Oregon did an outrageously awesome job! She is a
beaut!
I had them put all new cad-plated screw hardware back in after painting. I
decided that gold hardware against the red, just didn't look as finished as
I'd hoped. So, I counted all the screws and had them paint the appropriate
number of screws plus some spares with the intent of swapping all the
unpainted with painted.
The problem is the standard steel Phillips screw driver bits seems to chip
the paint in the screw pretty easily.
I thought that I've seen #2 Phillips NYLON screw driver tips somewhere a
while back? But I can't seem to find them now? Does anyone have a lead on
Nylon #2 bits?
Thanks,
Matt Dralle

| From: | "JeffR" <JKROWLANDS(at)gmail.com> |
I wish to add a relay as per Bob Nuckolls drawing. I currently have the ground
plug installed( Piper variety), but the plug centre positive terminal is live,
so its easy to charge the battery aswell as jump start the engine if master is
left on. If I add the extra Relay ( Ground Plug) with diodes and wiring as per
Bob Nuckolls drawing, I can see jump starting will be ok when connected and
ground power switch on. But, I cant see how connecting a battery charger to the
postive and earth of ground plug will allow current to flow to the battery
for charging. I have tried 2 differing chargers to activate the solenoid switch
and found this did not work ,with one charger I used. Can you please advise
me how I can use any battery charger to activate the ground plug relay to charge
my LiFPO4 battery( usually after using Electrical gear in cabin on ground)
thanks Jeff R Australia

| Subject: | PLEASE READ - Matronics Email List 2023 Fund Raiser During November! |
Dear Listers,
Each November I hold a PBS-like fund raiser to support the continued operation
and upgrade of the Email List and Fourm Services at Matronics. It's solely through
the Contributions of List members (you) that these Matronics Lists are possible.
You have probably noticed that there are no banner ads or pop-up windows on any of the Matronics Lists or related web sites such as the Forums site http://forums.matronics.com, or other related pages such as the List Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search , List Browse http://www.matronics.com/listbrowse, etc. This is because I believe in a List experience that is completely about the sport we all enjoy - namely Airplanes and not about annoying advertisements.
During the month of November I will be sending out List messages every couple of
days reminding everyone that the Fund Raiser is underway. I ask for your patience
and understanding during the Fund Raiser and throughout these regular messages.
The Fund Raiser is only financial support mechanism I have to pay all
of the bills associated with running these lists. YOUR personal Contribution
counts!
This year we have a really TERRIFIC line up of free gifts to go along with the
various Contribution levels. There's something for everyone, to be sure.
Please make your List Contribution using any one of three secure methods including
using a Credit Card, PayPal, or by Personal Check. All three methods afford
you the opportunity to select one of this year's free gifts with a qualifying
Contribution amount!!
To make your Contribution, please visit the secure web site:
https://matronics.com/contribution
I would like to thank everyone in advance for their generous financial AND moral
support over the years!
Thank you!

| Subject: | [PLEASE READ] Why I Have A Fund Raiser... |
Since the beginning, the Matronics List and Forum experience has been free from
advertising. I have been approached by fair number of vendors wanting to tap
into the large volume of activity across the various lists hosted here, but have
always flatly refused.
Everywhere you go on the Internet these days, a user is pummeled with flashing
banners and videos and ads for crap that they don't want. Yahoo, Google and that
ilk are not "free". The user must constantly endure their barrage of commercialism
thrust into their
face at an ever increasing rate. Enough is enough, and the Lists at Matronics
choose not to succumb to that.
That being said, running a service of this size is not "free". It costs a lot
of money to maintain the hardware, pay for the electricity, Commercial-greade
Internet Connection, air conditioning, maintenance contracts, etc, etc. etc.
I choose to hold a PBS-like
fund raiser each year during the month of November where I simply send out a short
email every other day asking the members to make a small contribution to support
the operation. That being said, that contribution is completely voluntary
and non-compulsory.
Many members choose not to contribute and that's fine.
However, a very modest percentage of the members do choose to make a contribution
and it is that financial support that keeps the Lists running. And that's
it. To my way of thinking, it is a much more pleasant way of maintaining the
Lists and Forums. The other
11 months of the year, you don't see a single advertisement or request for support.
That's refreshing and that is a List and Forum that I want to belong to.
I think other people feel the same way.
Won't you please take a minute to make your Contribution today and support these
Lists?

| Subject: | A List Contribution - It's Your Personal Squelch Button... |
There is an automatic "squelch button" of sorts for the Fund Raiser messages.
Here's how it works... As soon as a List member makes a Contribution through
the Matronics Fund Raiser web site, their email address is automatically added
to this year's Contributor
List and they instantly cease to receive further Fund Raiser messages for the rest
of the month! Its just that simple! :-)
I really do appreciate each and every one of your individual Contributions to support
the Lists. It is your support that enables me to upgrade the hardware
and software that are required to run a List Site such as this one. It also goes
to pay for the
commercial-grade Internet connection and to pay the huge electric bill to keep
the computer gear running and the air conditioner powered on. I run all of the
Matronics Email List and Forums sites here locally which allows me to control
and monitor every aspect
of the system for the utmost in reliably and performance. Your personal Contribution
matters because, when combined with other Listers such as yourself, it
pays the bills to keep this site up and running. I accept exactly ZERO advertising
dollars for the
Matronics Lists sites. I can't stand the pop-up ads and all other commercials
that are so prevalent on the Internet these days and I particularly don't want
to have it on my Email List sites.
If you appreciate the ad-free, grass-roots, down-home feel of the Matronics Email
Lists, please make a Contribution to keep it that way!!
