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 lame 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 the Lists? Contribution Page: http://www.matronics.com/contribution Again, I want to say THANK YOU to everyone that has made a Contribution thus far during this year's List Fund Raiser!! These Lists are made possible exclusively through YOUR generosity!! Thank you for your support!

Aircraft Spruce is selling LED landing lights! From: "Eric M. Jones" See their website. You will see lots more of these soon. As always--buy these if you are going to fly very soon--otherwise wait for more products, higher performance at lower cost. -------- Eric M.

Your answer is also consistent with the fact that I haven't heard of any problems in the field, but I have the new model hydraulic pump that has a significantly higher current draw than most of the existing ones. I won't worry about it. Thanks, Dennis Johnson Do not archive ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 03:41:54 PM PST US From: "Sam Hoskins" Subject: AeroElectric-List: Wherefore loadmeters? Does anyone know where Bob's articles on load meters are? I thought it might be in Chapter 7, but I couldn't find it.

Schaefer" Subject: RE: AeroElectric-List: alternatives to alternator circuit breaker Use an ANL 60A fuse. These are slow blow. They are often found under the cowl! You should be able to find them at Aircraft Spuce or many of the other suppliers. _____ From: owner-aeroelectric-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-aeroelectric-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of scgck@juno.com Sent: Thursday, November 15, 2007 8:03 PM Subject: AeroElectric-List: alternatives to alternator circuit breaker I would like to eliminate the 60A circuit breaker from my experimental project instrument panel.
