> The following details the official Usage Guidelines for the Europa-List.
> You are encouraged to read it carefully, and to abide by the rules therein.
> Failure to use the Europa-List in the manner described below may result
> in the removal of the subscribers from the List.
>
>
> Europa-List Policy Statement
>
> The purpose of the Europa-List is to provide a forum of discussion for
> things related to this particular discussion group. The List's goals
> are to serve as an information resource to its members; to deliver
> high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster camaraderie
> among its members; and to support safe operation. Reaching these goals
> requires the participation and cooperation of each and every member of
> the List. To this end, the following guidelines have been established:
>
>
> - Please keep all posts related to the List at some level. Do not submit
> posts concerning computer viruses, urban legends, random humor, long
> lost buddies' phone numbers, etc. etc.
>
> - THINK carefully before you write. Ask yourself if your post will be
> relevant to everyone. If you have to wonder about that, DON'T send it.
>
> - Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive
> that is growing in size at an extraordinary rate. Try to be concise and
> terse in your posts. Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and
> responses.
>
> - Keep your signature brief. Please include your name, email address,
> aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location. A short line
> about where you are in the building process is also nice. Avoid
> bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary
> space in the archive.
>
> - DON'T post requests to the List for information when that info is
> easily obtainable from other widely available sources. Consult the
> web page or FAQ first.
>
> - If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:" line of
> your response the same as that of the original post. This makes it
> easy to find threads in the archive.
>
> - When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your
> response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the
> reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that
> quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive
> can not be overstated!
>
> - When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT
> then go ahead and reply to the List. Be aware that clicking the
> "reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your
> response to the original poster. You might have to actively address
> your response with the original poster's email address.
>
> - DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something
> to add that is relevant and has a broad appeal. "Way to go!", "I
> agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are better sent
> to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large.
>
> - When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to
> comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly
> contribute something valuable.
>
> - Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone
> polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments, personally attack
> other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously
> controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless debate that
> will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing.
>
> - Occasional posts by vendors or individuals who are regularly
> subscribed to a given List are considered acceptable. Posts by
> List members promoting their respective products or items for sale
> should be of a friendly, informal nature, and should not resemble
> a typical SPAM message. The List isn't about commercialism, but

>> *** Enclosure Support on the Lists ***
>> **************************************
>>
>> Limited posting of enclosures such as pictures, documents, and spreadsheets
>> is supported on the Lists. There are a number of restrictions, and these
>> are detailed below. Please abide by the rules put forth regarding the
>> content of enclosures.
>>
>> These are some of the features and limits of enclosures on the Matronics
>> Lists:
>>
>> 1) Enclosures will only be posted to the Real Time version of the Lists.
>>
>> 2) Enclosures will NOT be included in the Daily Digest version of the Lists.
>>
>> 3) Enclosures WILL BE forwarded on to the BBS Forum Web site.
>>
>> 4) Enclosures will NOT be appended to the Archives.
>>
>> 5) Enclosures will NOT be available in the List Browse feature.
>>
>> 6) Only the following file types and extensions will be allowed:
>>
>> bmp doc dwg dxf gif jpg pdf png txt xls
>>
>> All other enclosures types will be rejected and email returned to
>> sender. The enclosure types listed above are relatively safe from
>> a virus standpoint and don't pose a particularly large security risk.
>>
>> 7) !! All incoming enclosures will be scanned for viruses prior to posting
>> to the List. This is done in real time and will not slow down
>> the process of posting the message !!
>>
>>
>> Here are some rules for posting enclosures. Failure to abide by these rules
>> could result in the removal of a subscriber's email address from the Lists.
>>
>> 1) Pay attention to what you are posting!! Make sure that the files
>> you are enclosing aren't HUGE (greater that 1MB). Remember that there
>> are still people checking they're email via dial up modem. If you post
>> 30MB worth of pictures, you are placing an unnecessary burden on these
>> folks and the rest of us, for that matter.
>>
>> 2) SCALE YOUR PICTURES DOWN!!! I don't want to see huge 3000 x 2000
>> pictures getting posted that are 3 or 4MB each. This is just
>> unacceptable. Use a program such as Photoshop to scale the picture
>> down to something on the order of 800 x 600 and try to keep the
>> file size to less-than 200KB, preferably much less.
>>
>> Microsoft has a really awesome utility available for free that allows
>> you to Right-Click on a picture in Explorer and automatically
>> scale it down and resave it. This is a great utility - get it, use it!
>> http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx
>> Look for the link "Image Resizer"
>>
>> 3) !! This would seem to go without saying, but I'll say it anyway. Do not
>> post anything that would be considered offensive by your grandmother.
>> And you know what I'm saying; I don't want to see anything even
>> questionable. !!
>>
>> 4) REMEMBER THIS: If you post a 1MB enclosure to a List with 1000 members
>> subscribed, your 1MB enclosure must be resent 1000 times amounting
>> to 1MB X 1000 = 1 Gigabyte of network traffic!! BE CAREFUL and
>> BE COURTEOUS!
>>
>> Also see the section below on the Matronics Photo and File Share where
>> you can have your files and photos posted on the Matronics web server
>> for long time viewing and availability.
>>
>>
>>
>> *******************
>> *** Digest Mode ***
>> *******************
>>
>> Each day, starting at 12 midnight PST US, a new 'digest' will be started.
>> This digest will contain the same information that is currently appended
>> to the archive file. It has all of the headers except for the "From:"
>> and "Subject:" lines removed, and includes a message separator consisting
>> of a line of underscores.
>>
>> Each day at 23:55 PST US, the day's messages as described above will be
>> combined and sent as a single message to everyone on the digest email list.
>>
>> To subscribe to the digest list, use the same subscription web form
>> described above, and just select the Digest version of the List.
>>
>> http://www.matronics.com/subscribe
>>
>> Note that you *can* be subscribed to both the realtime and digest versions
>> of the List at the same time. This is perfectly acceptable.
>>
>> Now some caveats:
>>
>> * Messages sent to "europa-list-digest" will be forwarded to the standard
>> email list. In other words, you cannot post messages only to the
>> digest List.
>>
>> * If you are subscribed to both the regular List and the digest List, you
>> will receive the realtime postings as well as the digest at the end of
>> the day.
>>
>> * If you reply to the digest email, your message will be forwarded to the
>> normal list associated with the digest. Important Note: Please change
>> the subject line to reflect the topic of your response! Also, please
>> *do not include all or most of the digest in your reply*.
>>

>>
>> do not archive

>> The Matronics Email List uses utility called the "Email Weasel" that

>> Europa-List Usage Guidelines
>> ******************************************************************************
>>
>> The following details the official Usage Guidelines for the Europa-List.
>> You are encouraged to read it carefully, and to abide by the rules therein.
>> Failure to use the Europa-List in the manner described below may result
>> in the removal of the subscribers from the List.
>>
>>
>> Europa-List Policy Statement
>>
>> The purpose of the Europa-List is to provide a forum of discussion for
>> things related to this particular discussion group. The List's goals
>> are to serve as an information resource to its members; to deliver
>> high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster camaraderie
>> among its members; and to support safe operation. Reaching these goals
>> requires the participation and cooperation of each and every member of
>> the List. To this end, the following guidelines have been established:
>>
>>
>> - Please keep all posts related to the List at some level. Do not submit
>> posts concerning computer viruses, urban legends, random humor, long
>> lost buddies' phone numbers, etc. etc.
>>
>> - THINK carefully before you write. Ask yourself if your post will be
>> relevant to everyone. If you have to wonder about that, DON'T send it.
>>
>> - Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive
>> that is growing in size at an extraordinary rate. Try to be concise and
>> terse in your posts. Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and
>> responses.
>>
>> - Keep your signature brief. Please include your name, email address,
>> aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location. A short line
>> about where you are in the building process is also nice. Avoid
>> bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary
>> space in the archive.
>>
>> - DON'T post requests to the List for information when that info is
>> easily obtainable from other widely available sources. Consult the
>> web page or FAQ first.
>>
>> - If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:" line of
>> your response the same as that of the original post. This makes it
>> easy to find threads in the archive.
>>
>> - When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your
>> response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the
>> reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that
>> quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive
>> can not be overstated!
>>
>> - When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT
>> then go ahead and reply to the List. Be aware that clicking the
>> "reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your
>> response to the original poster. You might have to actively address
>> your response with the original poster's email address.
>>
>> - DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something
>> to add that is relevant and has a broad appeal. "Way to go!", "I
>> agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are better sent
>> to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large.
>>
>> - When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to
>> comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly
>> contribute something valuable.
>>
>> - Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone
>> polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments, personally attack
>> other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously
>> controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless debate that
>> will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing.
>>
>> - Occasional posts by vendors or individuals who are regularly
>> subscribed to a given List are considered acceptable. Posts by
>> List members promoting their respective products or items for sale
>> should be of a friendly, informal nature, and should not resemble
>> a typical SPAM message. The List isn't about commercialism, but
>> is about sharing information and knowledge. This applies to
>> everyone, including those who provide products to the entire
>> community. Informal presentation and moderation should be the
>> operatives with respect to advertising on the Lists.

| Subject: | Re: Canopy ball stud |
Hi Jonathan
Ends up I have a spare ball stud and just measured it for you.
A little difficult, I measured across threads and got .186". A 10-32 die wouldn't
go on by hand.I tried a 5 x .8mm tap into the nut and it wouldn't go in?
OK got it figured. The threads are 10-32. They plated after they ran a die on them.
I ran die on threads and just a tad of plating came off.
So:
** The threads are 10-32
The length of threaded portion is .390" with a rounded tip
There is a shoulder on the .390" which is .394" diameter and ~.062" long which
isn'tthreaded
Where you grab with a wrench (circle with 2 flats) has the circle diameter at
.312" and the flats .270" (7mm)
** The ball is .314" in diameter
Hope that helps
Ron P.
