    Subject: Contributions Down By 20%...
    Dear Listers, As of today, Contributions to the Matronics List Fund Raiser are lagging behind last year at this time by roughly 20%. 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, 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. 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 Site, 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 Or, drop a personal check in the mail to: Matt Dralle / Matronics 581 Jeannie Way Livermore CA 94550 Thank you for your support!

    Subject: Guden Strut Pressure
    11/23/2011 Hello Rob, Copied below are your initial email, my two responding emails, and then your November 22, 2011 follow up email question regarding strut pressure. If you go to the Guden web site and search for the struts that I presently have on my KIS TR-1 you will wind up here: http://www.guden.com/Home/SiteSearch?SideSearchText=GGS22-030-K which will give you all of the specifications on my presently installed struts including the 30 PSI pressure. This page will give you multiple choices among these struts: http://www.guden.com/ItemDisplay/GS5 so that you can pick struts with higher pressure if you wish. Guden has always been very receptive to my ordering small amounts of their products when I order by phone. 1-800-344-6437 Please let me know if I can be of further help. OC =============================================================== 10/17/2011 Hello Rob, Here are the Guden gas springs that I have on my KIS TR-1 doors now. http://www.guden.com/Item/GGS22-030-K OC ================================================ > 10/15/2011 > > Hello Rob, Looking at my Guden packing list from back in 02/16/2000 I > ordered two of these gas springs: > > Guden Item: GGS21-030-K > ...GGS21-030-K Item Detail Rod Dia: .315Tube Dia: .748 Stroke Length: > 3.500Extended Length: 11.900 P1 Force: 30 ... > > I have since ordered replacement gas springs, but can not be certain > that I ordered the same ones until I go out to the airport to check (maybe > Monday). > > One thing to consider is that the fastening points that I used on my > door frame and fuselage opening may be different from yours and that could > affect your gas spring selection.
