Dear Listers, Its November 30th and that means a couple of things. Its my 44th birthday for one, but I'm trying to forget about that... But, it also means that its that last official day of the Matronics Email List Fund Raiser! If you been drooling over one of the really sweet free gifts that are available this year with a qualifying Contribution, then now is the time to jump on one!! If you've been meaning to make a Contribution, but just keep putting it off, then now is the time! I will be posting the List of Contributors in a few days, so you'll probably want to be known as a person that supported the Lists! Rather than the guy that, er, ah, forgot (or whatever)... :-) I want to thank everyone that has so generously made a Contribution so far this year in support of our Lists. It is your generosity that keeps this operation a float and I don't ever forget it. Hopefully everyone will feel the same. The List Contribution page is fast and easy. Please support our habit by making your Contribution right now: http://www.matronics.com/contribution Thank you all in advance!

Tex ----- Original Message ----- From: Colin J. Kennedy Sent: Friday, October 26, 2007 6:57 PM Subject: Lightning-List: Tools Would those of you who have built please give some advice about tools, especially for the fiberglass work? I am about to start buying my cutting/sanding tools, in anticipation of the kit arrival by the end of November, and would appreciate any recommendation you would share. The build manual provides a basic list of tools, but are there any models better than others, or with the actual cutting, drilling, sawing bits, is there any material or courseness that works better on fiberglass?

They are about 75.00 each, but worth it. Also buy yourself a compressor, a good one from Harbor freight at about 125.00. you will need it for the air tools and when you paint your plane.
