I use AOL....I just right click reply to on the header. Up pops "send mail"
I type in the subject and send. That way, I am not sending a long list of
info most on the list have just seen, and gives Matronics space on they
equipment.
Someone have a better suggestion.
Fly safe.

I don't know what is causing your reply problem, but maybe this page can help:

Otherwise maybe a change to Mozilla Thunderbird will solve it? :)

Floran, maybe it was the way that your ISP sent your mail to you. Perhaps
the headers were being changed so that the reply-to field was mixed up.
I did try to do a search on this problem on the Microsoft support site and
did not get any good results. Why don't you review your settings on the SEND
portion of OE by clicking TOOLS > OPTIONS > SEND.
If that does not work, try Rex's suggestion by following the procedures in
the link he included. Of course restart your computer afterwards. If THAT
does not work, send me one of the offending messages as an attachment and I
will look to see how the mail header is arranged. That will tell me if it is
Outlook doing it or the way the mail is configured as your receive it.

--> Kitfox-List message posted by: Donald STEVENSON <shericom@rogers.com>
Hi all, I will soon be ready to cover my M4/1200
Speedster and I was thinking it may be a good idea to
cover the flaperons with fabric to match the wings,
Has anyone done this, and is it a good idea or not?
Any comments would be a help. Thanks,
Don Stevenson, Caledon, Ontario, Canada

I have covered aluminum with fabric with good results in the past, but
just on small panels. My concern would be the weight and how it might
affect flutter. Even the weight of paint is of concern on a control
surface. If you are using polytone you can spray the paint into the
primer primer before it dries and it will give you good results. You
need two paint guns for this because you do not have time to clean the
gun and reload before the primer get too dry. It will be a little
shinier than the wings, but the color with match and it will look just
fine.

Don I got a speedster from a tweaker that had done everything wrong that he
touched. One of the things was the flapperons had been cut all of the way
around at the hinges. These had aluminum strips riveted over them as scabs.
I read the manual and found specifications to make the cuts on the
SPEEDSTER model, then cover the slits with fabric. I have not decided what
to do to mine yet, but covering them is possible. Maybe a little extra drag
from the surface. Ron NB Oregon

Hi Ron, Because the flaperons are cut all around as
you have said, and are to be covered with tape at the
cuts, is why I was thinking about fabric over the
whole surface, I think it would look better, but might
have some other negative result, I'm not sure what
I'll do, maybe I'll get some other comments from
someone who has done it, Regards, Don

Consider the structural component of the aluminum on the flaperons. If
they have be degraded structurally with improper cuts you may have a
safety of flight issue. The ribs are just foam. Scab patching may not
look as good, but you may have to for strength. Find someone local that
is has built a nice aluminum airplane, it would be a piece of cake for
them. IMHO

| Subject: | Fabric on Flaperons?-SLITS |
--> Kitfox-List message posted by: Donald STEVENSON <shericom@rogers.com>
Ron, According to my Speedster manual, you need the
cuts in the skin, covered with 2" fabric tape, There
are also metal clips on the trailing edge of the
flaperon to keep the sections lined up. These clips
are riveted on one side of the cuts only, the other
side floats in the clip allowing it to move with the
load on the control surface. Hope this is a help, Don

Ron,
Making the cuts on the flaperons at the hinges is no longer recommended,
or necessary. That was recommended when the Model IV-1200 Speedster
first came out.

Ron, My Speedster (1992) is in the construction stage,
I purchased it from a gentlemen in California a year
age and I'm just about ready to cover it, The fellow
in California had already made the cuts in the
flaperons, was there any kind of a service bulletin to
alter these in any way?Don Stevenson

Don,
I can't claim to have seen every Kitfox out there, but I have never seen
flaperons covered with fabric. I have seem them painted and polished. My
only concern would be the weight of the fabric and finish and how it would
work with the recently discussed mass balance weights. Mine are white and
match the finish very well.

Frank Miller told me NOT to make the cuts on my 1994 Speedster, when I
contacted him in 2004. Regarding the painting, I painted mine with
Polyfiber enamel to match the white Polytone with which I painted the
wings, and they match almost perfectly (using flattener in the enamel
to match the Polytone's flatness.)
