| Subject: | Make Sure You're Listed! List of Contributors Published Dec |
1!
Dear Listers,
The List of Contributors (LOC) is just around the corner! On December 1st I post
a list of everyone that so generously made a Contribution to support the Lists.
Its my way of publicly thanking everyone that took a minute to show their
appreciation for the Lists.
As a number of people have pointed out in their Contribution comments, these Lists
seems at least as valuable of a building/flying/recreating tool as a typical
your magazine subscription! And how interactive is a magazine, after all?
Won't you take minute and assure that your name is on the upcoming LOC? Tell others
that you appreciate the Lists. Making a Contribution to support the Lists
is fast and easy using your Visa, MasterCard, or Paypal account:
http://www.matronics.com/contribution
Or, by dropping a personal check in the mail to:
Matronics / Matt Dralle
PO Box 347
Livermore CA 94551-0347
USA
(Please include your email address on the check!)
I would like to thank everyone that has so generously made a Contribution thus
far during this year's List Fund Raiser! Remember that its YOUR support that keeps
these Lists running and improving! Don't forget to include a little comment
about how the Lists have helped you!
Thank you!

I pass this along without personally trying it, but the A & P who gave it to
me recovered a T-craft last spring that won at this year's AirVenture.
When doing small patches, make a frame of appropriate size to the task at
hand and staple a piece of cloth to it. Shrink per manufacturer's
recommendations. Cut out patches, pink edges, and attach per manufacturer's
recommendations.

Here's one more way: Take a piece of fabric, and dope it to a glass
window or other flat glass plate with Poly-Brush. Let it dry and then
pop it off, scrape the excess mess off the glass with a razor blade.
Then cut out your patch, pink the edges, etc and dope it in place with
Poly-Brush. Saves the trouble of making a frame, and still gives you a
perfectly flat smooth patch. Plus you can still shrink it later to
tighten it up if necessary. Also works with wide tapes if you should
happen to need one of those instead.

Big Lar, and Kolbers -
You are right: prop blades should weigh within fractions of grams of
each other for best, vibration-free performance.
This is one of the reasons I went with a Powerfin. Before I ever
purchased a propeller for my Kolb, I happened to wander into the
Powerfin shop at the Arlington airport (Washington state) and struck up
a conversation with Stuart, the owner. He showed me his entire
manufacturing process. At the end of the production line, the blades
are weighed, with weights noted at both the root and the tip. I
observed one technician drilling out a tiny core from the tip of one
blade and inserting a small metal bar (1/16" diam, about 1/4" long -
more like a piece of wire) into the hole. He told me that he was adding
weight (a tenth of a gram) in order to make it match the weights of the
other two blades. That's how close Powerfin balances their blades.
I love my Powerfin. Although it may not be as robust as a Warp when
engine parts go thru it (oops), it is absolutely smooth at all power
settings.

Richard, As I said, the pre-shrinking idea came from my neighbor, but using
unshrunk fabric means the patch will be understrength compared to the fabric
to which it's attached, doesn't it?

Not if you go back and shrink it after it is doped on, which is what you
would normally do. If you preshrink it, and your fabric around the hole
or the patch itself turns out to be a bit slack, then what do you do?
Uh-oh. Attach your pre-doped patch, and then shrink it. So far, it's
worked for me. (And actually, this is one of those things that's hard to
get wrong, almost anything will turn out good, with just a little care
and thought...)
