(DDW) ________________________________ Message 0 _____________________________________ Time: 12:23:35 AM PST US From: Matt Dralle Subject: Lightning-List: Contributions Down By 20%... Dear Listers, As of today, Contributions to the Matronics List Fund Raiser are lagging behind last year at this time by roughly 20%. I have a Fund Raiser each year simply to cover my operating costs for the Lists. I *do not* accept any advertising income to support the Lists and rely solely on the Contributions of members to keep the expenses paid. I run all of my own servers and they are housed here locally, and the Internet connection is a commercial-grade, T1 connection with public address space. I also maintain a full backup system that does nightly backups of all List-related data so that in the event of a server crash, all of the Lists and the many years of List archive data could be restored onto a new server in a matter of hours. All of this costs a fair amount of money, not to mention a significant amount of my personal time. I have a Fund Raiser each year to cover these costs and I ask that members that feel they receive a benefit from my investments make a modest Contribution each year to support the continued operation and upgrade of these services. If you enjoy the Lists, please make a Contribution today. I also offer some incentive gifts for larger Contribution levels. At the Contribution Web Site, you can use a credit card, Paypal, or personal check to show your support for the continuation of these services: http://www.matronics.com/contribution Or, drop a personal check in the mail to: Matt Dralle / Matronics 581 Jeannie Way Livermore CA 94550 Thank you for your support!

From: "James, Clive R" Taken me a few years but I got there in the end. <> It used to be PH-GCJ which it did 37 hours as, now it's on a test permit and is 'G' Registered at last! Only other problem......early hydraulic....so all is not complete yet. Regarding early hydraulic, there is arms and legs to that issue. Serial number is 1460. I'm looking into the options.....in the meantime after having the heads off and getting my compressions back I'm going to get a few more hours on it. Other issue, oversized valve guides. The engine was fitted with oversized guides and these have now been replaced. Seems Jabiru have supplied a few engines with oversized guides, certainly the guy that fitted them for me smiled when I said, 'looks like the guides have worn'..... 'in 37 hours?....no I'll measure them, I'll bet they are oversized'. And they were so if you are blowing oil into your bottle and have stains in the rocker boxes on a newish engine.....

Congratulations, Clive, that's fantastic. I know that after all the numerous special inspections and "official paperwork" (that probably weigh s as much as the airplane) requirements that you have had to go through that yo u feel like you have finally "climbed the mountain". I'm sure the test flying will go well and you and your bride will soon be able to enjoy the Esqual as much as you have your Jabiru. So here's hoping you have great weather over the winter months so you can get lots of flying in. Blue Skies, Buz In a message dated 11/23/2011 3:48:21 P.M.
