| Subject: | "Black Friday" For List Fund Raiser...? |
Dear Listers,
The number of List subscriptions are up by a fair amount this year, but support
during this year's Fund Raiser is substantially behind last year, and there's
only about a week left until the end of the Fund Raiser. I have always preferred
a non-commercial List experience as many, many members have also expressed
that they do as well. However, if the yearly fund raiser cannot generate sufficient
funds to keep the bills paid, other sources of income might be required
including some sort of advertising. Please don't let that happen! Your personal
Contribution of $20 or $30 goes a long ways to keeping this operation a
float.
Please make sure your name is on this year's List of Contributors!
The List Contribution site is secure, quick, and easy:

Thank you in advance for your support!

Yes I offset the vertical fin on my MKIIIC it didn't help much if any. I
figure it wouldn't hurt so I left it offset when I added the trim tab. This
isn't bad design it is just the way airplanes are. I have flown some bigger
GA airplanes that have so much P factor that you have to set (required)
extra rudder trim for takeoff and readjust for cruise. Our Kolbs need a bit
more rudder on takeoff and opposite rudder on approach but with the right
trim setting nothing is needed in cruise. The Kolbs good design keeps the
rudder effort low enough that with or with out trim tabs the effort
minimal.
