Captain Jimbob & Captain Suebob have done an amazing amount of legwork to make sure that this event will be the best yet. Marina is a great facility; tons of ramp space, a quality meeting room, a location near fantastic sightseeing, eating, shopping & relaxing, and a chance for a great "poker run" in our airplanes. I for one can't wait until a formation of Commanders descends on Columbia---that should be a sight to see! We'll have a chance to shop & eat in an authentic CA Gold Rush town that is literally a 10 minute walk from the airfield. It's also a huge benefit to have some of the senior Commander brains attending, including the Towners, Jimbob, Morris, Sir Barry (you WILL be here, right Barry?) and hopefully a surprise guest whose last name is synonymous with Aero Commander. I know there are some great talks planned....it's a chance to learn something new about these wonderful airplanes, which is what happens for me every time these people congregate. Having made the trip to Dayton & Kansas City myself, I'm really hoping some of you easterners & southerners will put in a little effort to come see the Monterey Bay during the best time of year to visit. Also, if anyone has the "jones", I may try to squeeze in a round of golf at one of the famous 17 Mile Drive golf courses on Sunday after (I'm assuming) the early departure of our esteemed visitors. If you want to play, let me know and I will get a group set up. So make SURE you attend this year.....because next year, avgas could be $6 a gallon at the rate we're going! /John ----- Original Message ----- From: Subject: Commander-List: FLY-IN!!!!!!!!!! > --> Commander-List message posted by: YOURTCFG@aol.com > > HI KIDS. > > Well, the time is short!!

Problem is, they advise that their voltage regulators will handle a maximum of 50 amps, whereas, my plane has 100 amp generators. The Zefftronics system on my 500B handles my 70 amp alternators without a problem. I'm really not sure what they are actually rated for. Perhaps you should call Hugh Evans at Merlyn Products who worked it all out with the manufacturer to see how he did it.

The complete Commander-List FAQ including these Usage Guidelines can be found at the following URL: http://www.matronics.com/FAQs/Commander-List.FAQ.html Thank you, Matt Dralle Matronics Email List Administrator ****************************************************************************** Commander-List Usage Guidelines ****************************************************************************** The following details the official Usage Guidelines for the Commander-List. You are encouraged to read it carefully, and to abide by the rules therein. Failure to use the Commander-List in the manner described below may result in the removal of the subscribers from the List. Commander-List Policy Statement The purpose of the Commander-List is to provide a forum of discussion for things related to this particular discussion group. The List's goals are to serve as an information resource to its members; to deliver high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster camaraderie among its members; and to support safe operation. Reaching these goals requires the participation and cooperation of each and every member of the List. To this end, the following guidelines have been established: - Please keep all posts related to the List at some level. Do not submit posts concerning computer viruses, urban legends, random humor, long lost buddies' phone numbers, etc. etc. - THINK carefully before you write. Ask yourself if your post will be relevant to everyone. If you have to wonder about that, DON'T send it. - Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive that is growing in size at an extraordinary rate. Try to be concise and terse in your posts. Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and responses. - Keep your signature brief. Please include your name, email address, aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location. A short line about where you are in the building process is also nice. Avoid bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary space in the archive. - DON'T post requests to the List for information when that info is easily obtainable from other widely available sources. Consult the web page or FAQ first. - If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:" line of your response the same as that of the original post. This makes it easy to find threads in the archive. - When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive can not be overstated! - When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT then go ahead and reply to the List. Be aware that clicking the "reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your response to the original poster. You might have to actively address your response with the original poster's email address. - DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something to add that is relevant and has a broad appeal. "Way to go!", "I agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are better sent to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large. - When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly contribute something valuable. - Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments, personally attack other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless debate that will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing. ------- [This is an automated posting.]
