Don't worry, Ron, May is usually a very nice month in Oslo and Copenhagen.
Note that May 17th is the Norwegian national day, something you may want to
see.
The weather pattern in north Europe is simple: If it rains, there is 70%
chances that it will be sun the day after. And vice-versa. This is because we
have a succession of lows passing over us and it takes about 24 hours to go
from a low to the next high ridge. In summer, the Acores high extends more
north and presses the lows more north. In winter, the polar high extends and
push the lows more south. In average, three times a year, a stable high builds
up over Scandinavia and the British islands: In September, January and June.
That's when the jet-streams are slowing down. Nice weather then, but in
January, very cold. This is an average and may vary a lot from year to year.
But Oslo is protected from the westerly lows by the mountains and we have a
drier climate that, e.g. Belgium, where I was born.
Cheers,
Michel

From: Tony Blackberry
Subject: Fw: fuselage corrosion proofing
Could fellow builders share with me their thoughts and tips on applying corrosion
proofing type oils to the inside tubes of the Kitfox fuselage.
Do you think it is necessary as there is nothing mentioned about it in the assembly
manual?
Some say to only do the lower longerons.Iam worried about weakening the fuselage
at the hole drilled to apply the oil.
Where is the best place to drill these holes and maintain integrity of original
design?
Can the oil migrate to other tubes?
Hoping someone can help with some of these questions.

This is not related to your e-mail software at all. This is a header line added
for a while now by the list server at Matronics.
Left a message to Matt - thanks for serving this large number of aviation related

Relative to the Rotax 912, the Model IV engine mount places the engine several
inches closer to the firewall than it does in the Series 5/6/7 models. Therefore
the cowls on the Model IV's must be shorter.

Had my first SPAM email on the address I use specifically for this
newsgroup.
Been using the email address for two years without any spam problems until
we switched from sportflight to matronics.
I don't respond to anything else with this address and haven't responded to
any anti-spam requests on the newsgroup.
I run the security on my email connection very tightly.
Be interesting to know if anyone else has experienced this.

Hi Chris,
Don't think it comes from Matt's list!
I've been on the Matronics lists on and off for several years and have had
absolutely no spam on or from his list.
I am on other "individual" lists and the spammers are always in them, like a
plague!
However I do get spam on an e-mail address that only 3 people have as it was
setup for confidential stuff and know they don't send it, especially the
garbage porno stuff!

I finally looked at all the great pictures of plane on skis. So what is a source
for the tire through skis pictured?

Does anyone in the group have any experience with the cockpit adjustable prop sold
by NSI for use with their EA81 Subaru conversion? What about the Ivo in-flight
adjustable prop?

You might go to the Matronics Europa list and post the question re the Ivo
props.

Subject: | Cleaning Poly-Tone |
--> Kitfox-List message posted by: SOURDOSTAN@aol.com
Thought I'd pass along the name of a great product to clean Poly-Tone
painted and powder-coated surfaces. During the building process I found numerous
reasons to clean off masking tape residue and other accidental goofs from my
Poly-Tone surfaces, and found by mistake that many substances that I had been
using, such as rubbing alcohol, Goo Gone, Goof Off, etc, affected the surface.
So, what I finally found that did a REALLY good job, and now use as part of my
maintenance cleaning, is "un-do" adhesive remover. It can be purchased in
many Wal-Marts, Bed Bath and Beyond and scrap booking stores. It is under $10.00
for a 4 fl. oz. bottle. It's made to remove stickers from all surfaces and
photos from those plastic photo album pages that stick to the pictures. They
have a website at www.un-do.com or call 1-888-buy undo.
