| 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 ilk 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?

Jacques,
You should see the 332 with the Whirlwind blades. Quite a jump in performance.
But not as tough of course.
As you said, good enough performance and it would be hard to justify upgrading
the blades unless you wish to shame your Woodcomp friends.
Regards,
Bud Yerly

--> <jacques@platisource.com>
I got both airmaster warp drive and woodcomp 3000 wide blade with smartavionics
controller on my Europa XS.
Both are good props, but my preference is on the airmaster. The warp drive blades
are really sturdy (more noisy than the other ones and slightly slower), but
no way I would land on a field with limited clearance with a woodcomp or a whirlwind
blades.
I am happy to be back with the airmaster warp drive. Working, easy, no maintenance
and good enough performances!
