| Subject: | PLEASE READ - Matronics Email List Fund Raiser During November! |
Dear Listers,
Each November I hold a PBS-like fund raiser to support the continued operation
and upgrade of the Email List and Fourm Services at Matronics. It's solely through
the Contributions of List members (you) that these Matronics Lists are possible.
You have probably noticed that there are no banner ads or pop-up windows on any of the Matronics Lists or related web sites such as the Forums site http://forums.matronics.com , Wiki site http://wiki.matronics.com , or other related pages such as the List Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search , List Browse http://www.matronics.com/listbrowse , etc. This is because I believe in a List experience that is completely about the sport we all enjoy - namely Airplanes and not about annoying advertisements.
During the month of November I will be sending out List messages every couple of
days reminding everyone that the Fund Raiser is underway. I ask for your patience
and understanding during the Fund Raiser and throughout these regular messages.
The Fund Raiser is only financial support mechanism I have to pay all
of the bills associated with running these lists. YOUR personal Contribution
counts!
This year we have a really HUGE and TERRIFIC line up of free gifts to go along
with the various Contribution levels. In fact, there are over 30 different gifts
to choose from - more than we've ever had before! There's something for everyone,
to be sure. Most all of these gifts have been provided by some of the
vary members and vendors that you'll find on the Matronics Lists and they have
been either donated or provided at substantially discounted rates.
This year, these generous members include:
Andy Gold of the Builder's Bookstore http://www.buildersbooks.com
Andy is a very generous guy and I encourage you to visit his web site. I would
like publicly to thank Andy for his generous support of the Lists again this
year!!
Please make your List Contribution using any one of three secure methods including
using a credit card, PayPal, or by personal check. All three methods afford
you the opportunity to select one of this year's free gifts with a qualifying
Contribution amount!!
To make your Contribution, please visit the secure web site:
http://www.matronics.com/contribution
I would like to thank everyone in advance for their generous financial AND moral
support over the years!
Thank you!

They did mold TR-4 parts and I saw a couple of partial aircraft. But I don't think
any were completed. To the best of my knowledge only tooling for the TR-4
was sent to China. Last I heard the TR-1 that was sent to China was in Tibet
but that was years ago.
The Chinese side (Mr. Chen) and deal broker (Mr. Steve Wang) are honest and trustworthy.
I have visited both of them both in the USA and in China. Like any
country there are good and there are bad.

Galin - Not sure what advantage the Chinese certification
would bring other than another feather to add to the hat.
Their requirements are surely less than our own standards
here in the USA. The certification may have been based on
modifications that never came to be. As far as I know they
never built any airplanes or even molded any parts. Mark K
may known more on this subject. I do know the deal was for
between $500,000 and $600,000, it included a flying TR-1,
and a flying TR-4, completes sets of tooling for both
aircraft, and engineering information. The deal went about
two thirds of the way through, and for some reason kind of
died out at that point. Either the money dried up or went to
the wrong place, I just do not know.
Al - the Chinese deal was important to Tri-R, it kept the
shop going for the better part of two years. And NO they did
not steal anything like that bum Degani. They paid for want
they got, and who knows it still may come back to life.
