I discovered Europa 2004 is now also delivering the springs. May be it is wise to order them via Europa 2004 because I don't have a list of people who are interested in the Dutch Stainless steel springs jet. Regards, Tim.

The BBS Forums give you Web-based access into the same email content that is generated by the Email Lists. When an email message is posted to any of the email lists, a copy of the message is also copied to the respective List forum section on in the BBS Forums. By the same token, when a message is posted within the BBS Forum interface context, it will also be posted to the respective email list. Basically, the BBS Forums give you yet another method of accessing the Matronics Email List content. Some people prefer email, some prefer web forums; now you can have it either way or both with the Matronics Lists! You'll have to register for a login/password on the BBS Forum to _post_ from the BBS, but you can view message content without registering for an account. To Register for an account, look for the link at the top of the main BBS Forum page entitled "Register". Click on it and follow the instructions. Site Administrator approval will be required (to keep spammers out), but I will try to get these approved in less than 24 hours. If you haven't yet taken a look at the Matronics Email List content over on the BBS Forum, surf on over and take a peek. Its pretty cool. The URL is: http://forums.matronics.com I want to stress that the BBS Forums are simply an adjunct to the existing Matronics Email Lists; another way of viewing and interacting with the Matronics List content. If you like Email, great. If you like Web Forums, great. If you like both, great. Its up to you how you view and create your content. You will also find a URL link at the bottom of this email called Matronics List Features Navigator. You can click on this link at any time to find URL links to all of the other great features available on the Matronics site like the Archive Search Engine, List Browse, List Download, FAQs, Wiki, and lots more. There is a specific Navigator for each Email List and the link for this specific List is shown below. Thanks for all the great list participation and support; it is greatly appreciated!

I did not need the HEAVIER GRADE PG44A (i ordered both to experiment) - although other builders may find otherwise. steve vestuti #trike 573 ---------------- Visit EuropaOwnersForum http://www.europaowners.org/ ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 04:46:37 PM PST US Cc: rlborger Subject: Europa-List: Re: First Flight From: rlborger --> Europa-List message posted by: rlborger Craig, Congratulations on the first flight of N205CN.

From: "Tony Krzyzewski" --> Europa-List message posted by: "Tony Krzyzewski" >>> What is found to be approx. useful life on door gas struts? In original orientation? Mod 66 position? These should last for years. If they start to sag then just pop them out and go and get them re pressurised at your local gas strut supplier. I just had ZK-UBD's done last week and it cost me USD12 to get the pair repressurised. As for the landing hydraulics I haven't noticed any difference in landing quality over several hundred landings (and a 'few' bounces thrown in for practice)... except for the fact that the pilot has improved his landing ability a bit over the past six years!
