Dear Listers,
Each year at the end of the List Fund Raiser, I post a message acknowledging everyone
that so generously made a Contribution to support the Lists. Its sort
of my way of publicly thanking everyone that took a minute to show their appreciation
for the Lists.
Won't you take a moment and assure that your name is on that List of Contributors
(LOC)? As a number of members have pointed out over the years, the List seems
at least - if not a whole lot more - valuable as a building/flying/recreating/entertainment
tool as your typical magazine subscription!
Please take minute and assure that your name is on this year's LOC! Show others
that you appreciate the Lists. Making a Contribution to support the Lists is
fast and easy using your Credit card or Paypal on the Secure Web Site:
http://www.matronics.com/contribution
or by popping a personal check in the mail to:
Matronics Email Lists
c/o Matt Dralle
PO Box 347
Livermore CA 94551-0347
I would like to thank everyone that has so generously made a Contribution thus
far in this year's List Fund Raiser! Remember that its YOUR support that keeps
these Lists going and improving! Don't forget to include a little comment about
how the Lists have helped you!
Best regards,
Matt Dralle

The two I referred to are both in the UK so you are the third. So even more
reason to pressure Andy Draper.

Hi Tim,
So happy that i can correct my own mistake before some else points it out: The
Dynon autopilot has trim sensing and a trim indicator will pop up if an adjustable
threshold has been reached. And yes, it has features not found elsewhere,
for a price lower then anything close. Everything feasible is adjustable on screen.
And adjusting is needed but not too difficult.
Regards,
Jos Okhuijsen

I have looked at your heater and it is in principal the same as mine and
many others. That is taking the warm air off the rear of the water
radiator. Mine is fitted but not operational (fire wall phenolic is bolted
over the outlets of the SCAT tubes)
The reason for this is that Francis Donaldson (LAA) insists on a fire stop
valve at the point were the tube passes through the fire wall. One builder,
Mike Parkin, has made up some very expensive petal valves to achieve this.
See attached. I am still looking for a cheaper and simpler solution to
these valves.
Obviously US regulation is not the same as ours. What are your thoughts on
a) the need for fire stop valves and b) a simpler cheaper way of achieving
a fire stop?

Jeff,
Working on that with better access for fuel tank, controls, mods or repairs.
The cockpit module is heavy and requires a lot of help to get it in right
and it is very time consuming to build for the novice, and for the company
to construct.
Keep the ideas coming.
Go to my website and download the heater. One inch tubes is all you need
really to keep the plane warm.

Here's my method of maintaining firewall integrity. The brass colored item
hooked between the two tabs is a fusible link (McMaster-Carr part number
1147A14) with a melting point of 100 deg C. The stainless steel flap
employs a hinge with a spring to snap it shut once the fusible link melts.
This takes more space than Mike's scheme but it is an inexpensive solution.
