Dear Listers,
In the United States, Thursday is our National day of Thanksgiving. Many of us
will be traveling to be with our families and friends and share in generous feasts
of plenty.
Many have expressed over the last couple of weeks how thankful they are for the
Aviation Lists here on the Matronics servers and for all of the assistance and
comradery they have experienced being a part of the Lists. I think one of my
favorite comments is when someone 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!!
I'm not sure why, but the number of Contributions have been a little low this year
compared to years past. Hopefully people are just waiting until the last
minute to make their List Support Contribution this year.
Won't you take a minute today and show your appreciation for these Lists and for
their continued operation and upgrade? Don't make me beg... :-) lol

Thanks to everyone that already made their Contribution!

Thanksgiving
'Twas the night of Thanksgiving ~ But I just couldn't sleep,
I tried counting backwards ~ I tried counting sheep ...
The leftovers beckoned ~ The dark meat and white,
But I fought the temptation ~ With all of my might ...
Tossing and turning with anticipation
The thought of a snack became infatuation
So, I raced to the kitchen, flung open the door
And gazed at the fridge, full of goodies galore
Gobbled up turkey and buttered potatoes
Pickles and carrots, beans and tomatoes
I felt myself swelling so plump and so round
'Til all of a sudden, I rose off the ground!
I crashed through the ceiling, Floating into the sky
With a mouthful of pudding, And a handful of pie
But I managed to yell as I soared past the trees
(In the T8F of course)
Happy eating to all! Pass the cranberries, Please!
May your stuffing be tasty, May your turkey be plump
May your potatoes' n Gravy, Have nary a lump
May your yams be delicious, May your pies take the prize
May your thanksgiving dinner stay off your thighs!
May your Thanksgiving Be Blessed!

Thanks for the explanations everyone:
That does make sense to me (about the power pulses and scavenging). I don't
know where my Lancair buddy got his info but we'll find out when he flies
whether it will be detrimental to engine operation. I was mistaken about
the Q200 builder, he did a 4 into 4 system NOT 4 into 2, I stand corrected.
But he still claims cooler under-cowl temperatures. Although the crossover
pipes are several inches away from the sump it still would seem to me that
some of their heat would end up in the oil. Maybe not, that may be an
experiment for when the airplane flies. In the meantime I've mounted Larry
Vetterman's exhaust system on my plane and will fly with it. It's a known
quantity, I'm not in the mood to do more fabrication at this point and I
don't have a welder so it's an easy decision. I'm glad Larry is making
these systems available (so we don't have to do more fabrication),
especially after 8+ years on the rest of the airplane.
