Dear Listers, As of today, contributions to the Matronics List Fund Raiser are lagging behind last year at this time by 21%. I have a fund raiser each year simply to cover my operating costs for the Lists. I *do not* accept any advertising income to support the Lists and rely solely on the contributions of members to keep the expenses paid. I run all of my own servers and they are housed here locally, and the Internet connection is a commercial-grade, T1 connection with public address space. I also maintain a full backup system that does nightly backups of all List-related data so that in the event of a server crash or worse, all of the Lists and the many years of List archive data could be restored onto a new server in a matter of hours. All of this costs a fair amount of money, not to mention a significant amount of my personal time as well. I have a Fund Raiser each year to cover these costs and I ask that members that feel they receive a benefit from my investments, make a modest contribution each year to support the continued operation and upgrade of these services. If you enjoy the Lists, please make a contribution today. I also offer some incentive gifts for larger contribution levels. At the Contribution Web Wite, you can use a credit card, Paypal, or personal check to show your support for the continuation of these services: http://www.matronics.com/contribution Thank you for your support!

With the shop projects winding down, I finally got to work on the plane. The wing construction table, after two moves, had become pretty rickety, so I had plans to rebuild the table. I had installed an electric hoist over the wing to raise and lower the wing panel during the construction. This time, I used it to raise the entire wing off the table. The saddles had only been marginally done, were improved. I painted epoxy in the saddle and trowled in some epoxy with micro. I then lowered the wing back onto the table. This will make the saddles to be exactly shaped to the curve of the upper wing surface. Tomorrow, I plan to rework the center box of the wing table. More to follow.
