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 elk 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? http://www.matronics.com/contribution Or, drop a personal check in the mail to: Matt Dralle / Matronics 581 Jeannie Way Livermore CA 94550 USA Thank you for your support!

I thought it might be caused by a canted strut. Kent nFrom: William Schertz Sent: Friday, November 22, 2013 10:46 AM Subject: KIS-List: Nose Wheel Boot/Tire wear I have noticed that my front tire is wearing unevenly. The left side of the tire is worn significantly more than any of the rest of the tire. I attribute this to the nose wheel being =98cocked=99 from the prop airstream, so the tire is slightly (or more) deflected during flight, causing the left side to hit first, and then the wheel straightens. If this is the case, then the fairings might not do as much as you expect.

I put it together from a nose wheel pant from Van=99s and shaft fairing from Glastar.
