| Subject: | [PLEASE READ] Why I Have A Fund Raiser... |
Since the beginning, the Matronics List and Forum experience has been free from
advertising. I have been approached by fair number of vendors wanting to tap
into the large volume of activity across the various lists hosted here, but have
always flatly refused. Everywhere you go on the Internet these days, a user
is pummeled with flashing banners and videos and ads for crap that they don't
want. Yahoo, Google and that elk are not "free". The user must constantly
endure their barrage of commercialism thrust into their face at an ever increasing
rate. Enough is enough, and the Lists at Matronics choose not to succumb
to that.
That being said, running a service of this size is not "free". It costs a lot
of money to maintain the hardware, pay for the electricity, air conditioning,
maintenance contracts, etc, etc. etc. I choose to hold a PBS-like fund raiser
each year during the month of November where I simply send out a short email
every other day asking the members to make a small contribution to support the
operation. That being said, that contribution is completely voluntary and non-compulsory.
Many members choose not to contribute and that's fine.
However, a very modest percentage of the members do choose to make a contribution
and it is that financial support that keeps the Lists running. And that's
it. To my way of thinking, it is a much more pleasant way of maintaining the
Lists and Forums. The other 11 months of the year, you don't see a single advertisement
or request for support. That's refreshing and that is a List and Forum
that I want to belong to. I think other people feel the same way.
Won't you please take a minute to make your Contribution today and support these
Lists?

| Subject: | Radiator shutters? |
Need some help not reinventing the wheel: For whatever reason, my 582 had a tendency
to run hot in the summer, so I added a skinny little dirt bike radiator
to the system and everything was cool. (literally)
But it always had a tendency to run too cool in the winter, and now it is worse.
An easy fix would be some shutters to block and unblock the main radiator, cockpit
operated.
Anybody done that?

It shouldn't be all that hard. I have been using Duct tape to get mine in
the close range. One strip or two, but it is a bit less than satisfactory.
I am thinking a variation of the Venetian blind controlled by a push pull
throttle type cable. My only problem is I am 130 miles from a metal supply.
The question is would you be better off with it in the wind stream in front
of the radiator, or behind it to stop the wind flow?

I had radiator louvers/shutters on my 582 PPC. They worked pretty good. On my
second 582 I just used black duct tape to block half the radiator during the winter.
I honestly think the duct tape is more simple and less results in less
that could fly into the prop if it got loose.
