Subject: | If You Got This Email, You Haven't Made A Contribution Yet! |
:-)
If you received this particular Matronics List Email message, its because you haven't
yet made a Contribution to support your Lists! This is the first PBS-like
funds drive message under the new distribution system. The new system selectively
sends out the Contribution messages ONLY to those that forgot to whip
out the 'ol credit card this year to support the continued operation and upgrade
of the Matronics Email Lists! Don't you wish PBS worked that way? :-)
You heard that right. Once you make your Contribution, these support requests
messages during November will suddenly stop coming to your personal email inbox!
Pardon me if I seem kind of excited about the new feature. I've wanted to
implement something like this for a number of years now, but it was always such
a daunting task to modify the back-end List processing code, that I just kept
putting it off. Finally this year, I just decided to bite the bullet and put
the code-pounding time it to make it work. A few days later, bam! A working
system!
Anyway, I'll stop gushing now. I really do appreciate each and every one of your
individual Contributions to support the Lists. It is your support that enables
me to upgrade the hardware and software that are required to run a List Site
like this. It also goes to pay for the Commercial-Grade Internet connection
and to pay the rather huge electric bill to keep the computer gear running
and the air conditioner powered up.
Your personal Contribution matters because when combined with other Listers such
as yourself, it pays the bills to keep this site up and running. I accept exactly
ZERO advertising dollars for the Matronics Lists sites. I can't stand
the pop-up ads and all other commercialism that is so prevalent on the Internet
these days and I particularly don't want to have it on my Email List site.
I'm pretty sure you don't either.
If you appreciate the ad-free, grass-roots, down-home feel of the Matronics Email
Lists, please make a Contribution today to keep it that way!!

Subject: | Clarification On New Contribution Module Operation... |
Dear Listers,
A number of Listers emailed and indicated that, even though they had made a Contribution
this year, they still received the Contribution message yesterday.
I looked into it and I found a slight anomaly (ok, bug) in the new code specifically
as it related to Listers that had made their Contribution through PayPal
AND have a DIFFERENT email address for their PayPal account and for their Matronics
List subscription.
If your PayPal account email address is DIFFERENT than the email address you are
subscribed to the Matronics List(s) as, then my new code module couldn't tell
that you had made a Contribution, since it was using the PayPal email address
instead of the List email.
I've fixed this issue for any new PayPal Contributions, but I don't have any easy
way of resolving this for any of the previous Contribtuions. Again, this is
ONLY an issue if your PayPal and Matronics List email addresses ARE NOT the
same. Otherwise, everything works great.
If you made a PayPal Contribution before 11/09/06 AND your email addresses don't
match, please drop me an email at " info@matronics.com " (do not reply to this
message!) and give me your Name, and both Email Addresses and I will manually
update the records so that things will work as advertised.
Sorry for the hassle! New code; new bugs... :-)

Thank you!

Subject: | Before the top goes on |
Morning Vaughn
Have you done a trial fit of the top, temporarily fixed in position with
self tapers? When I did that on my Classic I discovered nothing down the
back was square and ended up having to cut out and remake the rear bulkhead
to get the torque tube level.
Regards
Pete

Vaughn,
Check out www.rotec.com.
Based in Vancouver B.C., they are a Rotax dealer and are offering some
re-built to factory spec 914's.
If the price is right it might be an option.

One other issue. The starboard end of the elevator torque tube needs to be
raised abou 1/4" in order to make it level with the fuselage sides. I'm
assuming that if I I bond the top on with it raised to level. It will stay
level after all has cured. Am I correct?

Does anyone know where I can obtain a reasonably priced 914?

Subject: | Europa Club Outrigger Pivot Bearing Mod |
I'm looking to source the materials to do the above modification. Before going
searching the net for steel tubing suppliers, I though it would be worth asking
the (UK members of the) forum if anyone could either recommend a supplier, or
sell me the offcuts left over from when they did the mod?
Basically I need a short length of 3/8 inch stainless steel tube and a short length
of 5/16 inch steel tube (the steel tube needs to be a good fit in the stainless
one). Oh, and some nylon spacers/washers. I guess 6 inches of tubing would
be ample.
Any advice from those who have gone before?
Thanks

Subject: | Europa Club Outrigger Pivot Bearing Mod |
As the designer of this mod I have a few timely comments.
First of all we are looking at updating this mod. The reason is that
even using 4130 steel tube for the inner tubing it has a tendency to
distort crating drag on the outer tube and causing the pivot to revert
to the original arrangement. The future version will use an AN5 bolt
instead of the AN4 bolt and inner tube. The bolt will be prevented from
rotating by locating the head in a V shaped recess in a plate riveted on
the outside of the side plate. An AN5 castellation nut will be used to
retain the bolt. For UK builders the original prototype version of this
update will need approval by the PFA, but assuming I have no problems
with it, I am sure that Andy Draper will allow PFA inspectors to sign
off the work. I intend to update my aircraft in January and will report
when it has final approval.
In the meantime anyone purchasing parts can anticipate being able to
copy my update by purchasing the following:
100mm length of 3/8" stainless tube (wall thickness suitable to
accommodate an AN5 bolt
2 AN5 bolts (length to match outside width between side plates with
castellation nut fitted)
2 AN5 castellation nuts with split pins
4 thin AN5 sized washers to fit either side of the leg
2 pieces of aluminium plate to locate bolt head
4 rivets to attach aluminium plate to sideplate
Small quantity of Redux to fix the stainless tube
Once I have measured up I will be able to provide a more specific list
of the parts required.
Regards
Nigel Charles

Nigel,
I was unaware of the mod you describe below and the reasons for it.
Could you briefly outline the condition which it is intended to remedy?

All-
We have a Europa intercooler manufactured by Bell Intercoolers that we have
decided not to integrate with our Rotax 914 research project (we are using a
different version also manufactured by Bell). We are willing to part with
our intercooler for half price (150 USD) plus shipping. First come first serve.
