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 just a single dinner out. Isn't the List worth at least that much to you? 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!

I might suggest that all of yall with vent heaters contact John Towner.? He has an "approved into known icing", (which the fuel vent heaters are not) STCd fuel vent protector that installs in just a few minutes, just in front of the vent and eliminates the need for the troublesome electric units.? jb -----Original Message----- From: Moe-rosspistons Sent: Tue, 18 Nov 2008 7:39 am Subject: Re: Commander-List: fuel vent heat check Dan, ? Thanks for the advice!? My fuel vent heaters?spliced into the air speed indicator wires.? Load shedding seems to be limited to pulling the circuit breaker or turning off the switch, except the stall warning horn, and it is hot wired. ? Moe N680RR Proud Holder of The Golden Pedal Award ? From: Dan Farmer Sent: Tuesday, November 18, 2008 7:05 AM Subject: Commander-List: fuel vent heat check This is so easy.? Turn on the master switch, turn on the pitot/fuel vent heat switch now take about 2 minutes then put your lips on the vents like you were to suck a straw.? Be sure to do this before you suck on the pitot tube.? Otherwise your lips will be burned so bad you will never be able to feel the slight warmth from the vent.? If you really do this you deserve what you get.? In all seriousness, my vents are always quite warm to the touch in about 30 seconds after turning on the heat switch.? I seriously doubt that airframes of this vintage and size have load shedding.? In the 1960's I don't think Boeing or Douglas was using auto load shedding.? I think it was called a flight engineer.?
