| Subject: | What Are You Thankful For...? |
Dear Listers,
Here in the United States, Thursday is our National day of Thanksgiving. Many
of us will be traveling to be with our families and friends to share in generous
feasts of plenty and giving thanks for many blessings that have been bestowed
upon us.
Many Listers have expressed over the last couple of weeks how thankful they are
for the Email Lists and Forums here on the Matronics servers and for all of the
assistance and comradery they have experienced being a part of the Lists.
One of my favorite kind of comments is when write to me and says something like,
"Its the first thing I do in the morning while I'm having my morning coffee!".
That's a wonderful tribute to the purpose and function of these Lists. Its
always great to hear I'm not the only one that jumps out of bed each morning
to check my List email!!
Won't you take a minute today and show your appreciation for these Lists and for
their continued operation and upgrade?
The List Contribution Site is:

Thank you in advance for your kind consideration,
Matt Dralle

Thanks. My operating limitations say I could fly off the 5 hours as a student
pilot IF (the big if) I was signed off in a Mark II.
I've attached one picture. I need some nose art. See my big tundra tires? What
psi would you recommend? The max psi on the tire says 20. The DAR said some
guys only put like 3psi. I'm not on a grass field.

Cristal,
I have 800 size tires on my Firestar. I first had 6 lbs air in them and
ended up spinning the tube in one tearing off the stem. I am now running 10
to 12 lbs and they do well and are not too bouncy. If you don't do tubes,
perhaps you can use less air, but I haven't noticed any ill effects on my
landings from the amount of inflation that I now have.

Kolbers,
An old trick of some motorcycle racers running low tire/tube pressures was
to insert a few sheet metal screws through the rim into the bead of the tire.
You select a screw that is just long enough to stick into the bead, not go
through it. Keeps the tire/tube in place so the stem cannot go crooked and
tear off.
