Subject: | [PLEASE READ] Why I Have A Fund Raiser... |
Since 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?

Subject: | Re: Fitting MOD 52 after MOD 74 |
Hi Jon, I had the same situation and sorted it out thus, this summer; I found
the tie-bar fitted during MOD 74 was re-useable without any changes, but i had
to replace the rear lift pins (which meant opening the wing up again to gain
access to the nyloc nuts), fit the articulating rear pin sockets in place of the
originals - ensuring that the wing sweep does not change, change both sets
of spar bushes to accommodate the larger diameter pins and install the (new) spar
strap. Karen shopuld be able to sell you the "MOD52 post MOD 74" parts kit
. . . I hope that helps. Clive.

Hi Clive,
Thanks for the reply. I don't yet fully understand all aspect of the MOD, I am
working on the paper work more through today.
With your description of your experience, I have understood that you didn't have
W26A, W26B and W26C already installed? And it was just the "standard" MOD72
installed with W34. Is that correct?
If my interpretation is correct, then in order to fit the articulating rear sockets
to the Tie Bar you have to modify the rear wing lift pins. My logic is that
because, on mine, W26A, W26B and W26C is already installed, then I don't need
to re-open the wing.
I am hoping this is the case, because modification of the Main Wing Spar and addition
of the Spar strap seem to be the easier sections of MOD 52.

Hi Jon,
My starting point was with the rear pin sockets without the vertical hole for the
pip-pin, the tie-bar with the smaller diameter spar pins/bushes and the matching
smaller diameter spar pins, installed (= MOD 74 but without the larger pins).
The new articulating sockets stand off of the fuselage a bit more than the old
ones - so unless this has already been done, you will need to install the new
sockets. Because of that you will also need to open up the wing to get at the
Nyloc nuts and adjust them to a new pin length. The re-rigging/checking wing
sweep etc to do that is probably the most onerous part of doing the MOD
Your inspector will know best of course (though i'm an engineer by profession,
i am not an inspector).
Detling eh - i grew up in Biddenden and know Maidstone fairly well.
