| Subject: | A List Contribution - It's Your Personal Squelch Button... |
There is an automatic "squelch button" of sorts for the Fund Raiser messages.
Here's how it works... As soon as a List member makes a Contribution through
the Matronics Fund Raiser web site, their email address is automatically added
to this year's Contributor List and they instantly cease to receive further Fund
Raiser messages for the rest of the month! Its just that simple! :-)
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 such as this one. It also goes
to pay for the commercial-grade Internet connection and to pay the huge electric
bill to keep the computer gear running and the air conditioner powered
on. I run all of the Matronics Email List and Forums sites here locally which
allows me to control and monitor every aspect of the system for the utmost in
reliably and performance. 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 commercials that are
so prevalent on the Internet these days and I particularly don't want to have
it on my Email List sites.
If you appreciate the ad-free, grass-roots, down-home feel of the Matronics Email
Lists, please make a Contribution to keep it that way!!

I have a woodcomp SR3000 and delighted with its performance so slightly biased
in my reply,
But if you have access to two props why dont you try them out on your specific
Aircraft and engine combination and make a decision on the performance that ticks
most of your boxes,

Chris, I dont think there is any hard evidence about relative
performance an my suggestion would be to consider buying both, do proper
comparison s, give the Europa community the results, keep the one that
works best and sell the other. I am personally biased towards Woodcomp,
but having said that I have been impressed by the claims of DUC although
have also heard rumours about the relative frailty of the blades.

And the initial mission for my Europa is short flights to grass fields so
for now inexpensive fixed pitch will work fine.

to decide if I should get the DUC or the WoodComp. I don't like the way the
DUC looks (narrow chord) but if all the hoopla about its "constant speed" characteristics
is true then maybe is worth consideration. I am hoping some forum
members may have experience with the DUC to share.
