| Subject: | [PLEASE READ] Why I Have A Fund Raiser... |
>From the beginning, the Matronics List and Forum experience has been free from
advertising. I have been approached by fair number of vendors wanting to tap
into the large volume of activity across the various lists hosted here, but have
always flatly refused. Everywhere you go on the Internet these days, a user
is pummeled with flashing banners and videos and ads for crap that they don't
want. Yahoo, Google and that elk are not "free". The user must constantly
endure their barrage of commercialism thrust into their face at an ever increasing
rate. Enough is enough, and the Lists at Matronics choose not to succumb
to that.
That being said, running a service of this size is not "free". It costs a lot
of money to maintain the hardware, pay for the electricity, air conditioning,
maintenance contracts, etc, etc. etc. I choose to hold a PBS-like fund raiser
each year during the month of November where I simply send out a short email
every other day asking the members to make a small contribution to support the
operation. That being said, that contribution is completely voluntary and non-compulsory.
Many members choose not to contribute and that's fine.
However, a very modest percentage of the members do choose to make a contribution
and it is that financial support that keeps the Lists running. And that's
it. To my way of thinking, it is a much more pleasant way of maintaining the
Lists and Forums. The other 11 months of the year, you don't see a single advertisement
or request for support. That's refreshing and that is a List and Forum
that I want to belong to. I think other people feel the same way.
Won't you please take a minute to make your Contribution today and support these
Lists?

Alan,
If you're dealing with a graphic shop, just take a well centered
digital picture of the fuselage, without the wings attached. Then
carefully measure from front to rear and give the shop the picture and
measurement. They will take it from there. If you're sketching it on
paper, you're on your own... :)

If you have sketchup, you might want to try this 3D model, which was
built by extruding the 2D images from the manual:

I used sketchup to make the file, but I did manage to convert to
autocad some time ago. Sorry, I don't know solidworks.

| Subject: | Re: If it ain't broke, don't fix it |
Update on Mod 78:
I found the problem with a camera on a snake - those things are really cheap now.
$60. I went in through the air brake hole. It revealed that the forward socket
pin was not fully engaging as well. I used the old socket as a guide to drill
the hole through the metal plate and did not get the hole large enough. The
pin was contacting the metal and not going all the way in.
I drilled it out larger and now the pin goes in, the aft pin goes in and I was
able to get the wing in with all pins engaged. I checked the dihedral and it is
right.
I have the starboard wing in its post cure tonight - pulling an all nighter. That
was a change of plans. I chickened out on the thermostatically controlled heater.
It was cold soaked overnight and over-reacted. INstead, I went with lights
and a small heater in the fan mode only. Trial and error ended up with 388
watts to maintain the 50C. Being paranoid and not wanting to overheat the spar,
I have 4 measurements of the temperature. It stabilized in the foam panel oven
at the right temperature and there is no risk of over temping the spar tang.
It is in an insulated hangar and might drop as the night gets colder. I've
got a couple trips to make out there in the middle of the night.
Next step is to fit the right wing and set up the rigging cure. glue in the bushings
and hopefully the airplane can fly again.
If you are going to do this mod, do it as soon as you can in a non flying airplane.
The camera helped with seeing the front pin, but without the root fairing
it is much easier.
Bud: I will go with the inspection hole in the fairing if I run into the problems.
Thanks for the suggestion. That would be on the bottom and make seeing the
socket easy.
Attached pictures of the cure setup tonight. Almost there!
