Dear Listers,
The percentage of people making a Contribution to support the Lists this year is
currently lagging behind last year by approximately 21%! I'm hoping that everyone
is just waiting until the last minute to show their support... ;-)
Please remember that it is solely your direct Contributions that keep these Lists
up and running and most importantly - AD FREE! If the members don't want to
support the Lists directly, then I will likely have to start adding advertisements
to offset the costs of running the Lists. But I *really* don't want to
have to start doing that. I really like the non-commercial atmosphere here and
I think that a lot of the members appreciate that too.
Please take a moment to make a Contribution today in support of the continued ad-free
operation of all these Lists:
http://www.matronics.com/contribution
I want to send out a word of appreciation to all of the members that have already
made their generous Contribution to support the Lists! Thank you!

To be honest we get that much junk mail from Matt maybe it would be
better if we had the odd aviation advert? Maybe that would shut him up.
He can send me my 5 bucks back then.....:-)

Clive,
What you do not get from Matt and his lists is the hundreds of spam messages
that come from the Yahoogroups lists. Add to that the extra convenience of
the search and archive functions and we have a much better deal than the
"free" yahoogroups lists. To put up with a few messages in November seems a
small price.
Maybe you should send 15 bucks and you'd feel better about it.
Pete

As a member of the Pipistrel, ds101-Linux, and Linux Yahoo group lists I
don't see any spam. Perhaps my email provider is filtering the spam but I
did a quick check in my "spam" folder and didn't see anything related to
those groups.

The spam has no link to let you know it has any connection to a yahoogroup
but when you subscribe to a new group be prepared for an additional flood of
spam. We get 300+ per day now and I know they come from the yahoogroup
exposure because I use a specific email address only for yahoo groups and
the spam that comes in on that email address is unbelievable.

I belong to several Yahoo email lists and this Matronix list.
I have traced the spam I receive due to this list to the web-based
posting of Lightning emails *with* the full email addresses.
I have never received spam from a Yahoo group that has a moderator
who must grant list access to new members.
If you don't believe it, just Google "Lightning-List" and you'll find
that emails are readily available to any browser.
Here's an example:
http://www.matronics.com/listbrowse/lightning-list/0016.html
The email address *you use* is being published on the web when you
post to the Matronix Lightning email list.
I just got done abandoning an email address that I was using for the
Lightning list, and am now using a Lightning-only address that is
filtered by Gmail's spam filters before I see it.

| Subject: | Plexiglass Scratch Repair... |
Dear Listers,
During the fitting of the Plexiglass canopy on my RV-8, I managed to put some pretty
disheartening scratches in the windscreen section. You can see from the
pictures that they looked pretty bad. A call to Van's revealed that a replacement
canopy would be $640 + $250 shipping to California! Ack.
So what to do... A bit of surfing and I found this "Scratch Off" windshield repair
kit for $35 on the Aircraft Spruce web site:
http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/cspages/scratchoff.php
Frankly, it just seemed too good to be true. Nothing for $35 could be that "magic"
I thought, but what did I have to lose at this point....
Well, the kit arrived yesterday and I decided to give it a try tonight. In a word:
WOW! In about 2 hours the windscreen looked as good as new - no kidding
- AS GOOD AS NEW! The pictures really don't do the repair justice. It looks
better in person.
There are basically two sponges in the kit with four decreasingly porous pastes.
You just put some of the first paste on the sponge and buff it in with a drill
at 1200 RPM or less. Then you wash everything down good including the sponge
and windshield with warm water. Then you use the next finer paste and repeat
the process. Etc, etc, until you've used the 4th paste that is kind of like
car wax.
Frankly, the scratches were gone after the first application of paste - I started
at #2 based on the instructions and the "observed severity" of the scratch
depth.
So, the bottom line is, if you've got scuffs or mild scratches in your Plexiglass
buy this repair kit. It works!
