There is an automatic "squelch button" of sorts for the Fund Raiser messages.
Here's how it works... As soon as a List member makes a Contribution through
the Matronics Fund Raiser web site, their email address is automatically added
to this year's Contributor List and they instantly cease to receive further Fund
Raiser messages for the rest of the month! Its just that simple! :-)
I really do appreciate each and every one of your individual Contributions to support
the Lists. It is your support that enables me to upgrade the hardware
and software that are required to run a List Site such as this one. It also goes
to pay for the commercial-grade Internet connection and to pay the huge electric
bill to keep the computer gear running and the air conditioner powered
on. I run all of the Matronics Email List and Forums sites here locally which
allows me to control and monitor every aspect of the system for the utmost in
reliably and performance. Your personal Contribution matters because, when combined
with other Listers such as yourself, it pays the bills to keep this site
up and running. I accept exactly ZERO advertising dollars for the Matronics
Lists sites. I can't stand the pop-up ads and all other commercials that are
so prevalent on the Internet these days and I particularly don't want to have
it on my Email List sites.
If you appreciate the ad-free, grass-roots, down-home feel of the Matronics Email
Lists, please make a Contribution to keep it that way!!

Interesting the way the wing root is fully stalled with the feathers blowing
the wrong way and the tips are still flying.
Nice pic

I'm trying to differentiate between a Twinstar and a Mk II, or maybe they're one
and the same. My understanding is that the Twinstar was originally a Mk II
with a 5" spar and typically a Rotax 503. When the Twinstar Mk III came out it
was beefed up with a 6" spar and typically a Rotax 582 plus some other minor
differences. Is there any difference between this Mk III and the Mk IIIC that
we know today, or is the Mk IIIC designation there to differentiate from a Mk
IIIX?
I'm so confused. :?

easy to be confused. twinstar was a reference to side by side seating. Both the
mkII and MkIII were called twinstars (as far as I know)
and the MkIII was just an upgrade in structure heaviness. I have an original manual
that came with mine that called it a "caribbean"
-that's some kind of a Bean I think. heh heh.
-and now we have a new side by side Firestar, with a nose wheel no less, to confuse
you.

Twinstar: First Kolb two place, side by side, open cockpit with a nose cone
and small windshield. Powered with a 447. 7 rib wing and 5" spar and tail
boom.
Twinstar MKII: Enclosed Twinstar, 5" spar and tail boom, 7 rib wing,
powered with a 503.
Twinstar MKIII: 6" spar and tail boom, 10 rib wing, powered with a 582,

I had one of the original Twinstars back in '89; 5" spars and tail boom, si
de-by-side seating, dual rudders, single stick, Rotax 503, 5-gal tank, no n
osecone, canopy or flaps, before it was renamed to Mk. I can't remember how
many ribs.
