Dear Listers, This year marks 21 years of the Email Lists and Forums at Matronics! I've been running these forums for nearly half my life! I've made some great friends over the years and had countless email and personal conversations with builders about aircraft building and flying. What a great community of people! The advice, support, and friendship has be invaluable over the years. To support the continued operation and upgrade of the List servers, each November I hold a PBS-like fund raiser. It is solely through the Contributions of List members that these Matronics Lists are possible. There is NO advertising to support the Lists. You might have noticed the conspicuous lack of flashing banners and annoying pop-ups on the Matronics Email List email messages and web site pages including: * Matronics List Forums http://forums.matronics.com * Matronics List Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search * Matronics List Browser http://www.matronics.com/listbrowse * Matronics List List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com You don't find advertising on any of these pages because I believe in a List experience that is completely about the sport we all enjoy - airplanes! 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! Once again, this year we've got another terrific line up of free gifts to go along with the various Contribution levels. Many of these gifts have been provided by some of the vary members and vendors that you'll find on Matronics Lists and they have been either donated or provided at substantially discounted rates. This year, these generous people include: * Bob Nuckolls of the AeroElectric Connection http://www.aeroelectric.com * Andy Gold of the Builder's Bookstore http://www.buildersbooks.com These are extremely generous guys and I encourage you to visit their respective web sites. Each one offers a unique and very useful aviation-related product line. I would like publicly to thank Bob, and Andy for their generous support of the Lists again this year!! You can 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 site below: http://www.matronics.com/contribution I would like to thank everyone in advance for their generous financial AND moral support over the years!

It's not my intention to offend, nor to start a prolonged debate. Each year, there's a fundraiser for the list servers -- the service that the Aeroelectric list and others reside on. Well, no disrespect to the guys that run the service but I thought I'd get in an idea too: why don't we all send a few bucks in the direction of Bob Nuckolls for a change. Bob gives us insights and information, along with personal instruction and individual system designs for pretty much anything we throw at him, practically every day of the year. His contribution to flight safety in the OBAM world is immeasurably high, and to each of us individually, it's invaluable. I can't begin to imagine how much this would have cost if I'd gone to my local avionics shop and asked them for all this good stuff. So, this Christmas I'm going to dispatch a bunch of dollars Bob's way as a small token of thanks, and I'll be happy to do it. Clear skies! ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:24:34 AM PST US From: Dave Saylor Subject: AeroElectric-List: Lithium-Ion batteries for aircraft Bob, can you comment on AD 2011-21-51?
