I use the List Fund Raiser each year to offset the costs involved with running a high performance email list site such as this one. With the annual support from the List members through the PBS-like Fund Raiser, I have found I can run the entire site without having to inflect any of the members with those annoying banner ads flashing up all the time trying to sell Toner Cartridge Refills or other garbage nobody wants or needs. From the comments I've received over the years regarding the Lists, the great majority of the members really appreciate the non-commercialism of my List systems and don't mind my 'go-team-go' banter once a year to encourage members to support the Lists. I believe that the Lists services that I provide here offer many benefits over the commercial equivalents in a number of ways. The first feature I believe to be particularly significant is that you cannot receive a computer v*rus from any of these Lists directly. I've been on a few other List servers and have been unfortunate enough to download infected files people have innocently or not-so-innocently included with their posts. This just can't happen with the Matronics Lists; each incoming message is filtered and dangerous attachments stripped off prior to posting. I provide a Photo and File Share feature that allows members to share files and bitmaps with other members and everyone can be assured that these files will be prescanned for any sort of v*rus before they are posted. Safe and simple. Also, with this photo and file sharing technique, the Archives don't get loaded up with a huge amounts of bitmap "data" that slows the Archive Search times. Another feature of this system is the extensive List Archives that are available for download, browsing, and searching. The Archives go all the way back to the very beginning of each List and with the super fast Search Engine, the huge size of the Archives is a non-issue in quickly finding the data you're looking for. Another feature of the Archives is that they have been primarily stripped of all the useless email header garbage that seems to build up in a typical email thread. I've been running email Lists and services under the matronics.com domain since about 1989 starting with RV-List and 30 guys I knew and who where also building RVs. It has grown into well over 50 different aviation-related Email Lists and an associated web site that receives over 17,000,000 hits each year!! Additionally, the List email system forwards well over 32,000,000 (yes, that's 32 MILLION) email messages to subscribers each year! With all the dot.bombs these days, I think there's a lot of value in supporting a service that has gone the long haul and is still providing and improving a high quality service all without any advertising budget! I have to admit running these Lists is a labor of love and I hope it shows in the quality of the experience that you receive when you get a List Email Message, Search the Archives, or use the List Browser. The Lists will be here for a long time to come. If you just want to lurk a while for free, that's great and I encourage you to do so. If you use, appreciate, and receive value from these Lists, then please support them during the Annual List Fund Raiser!

I found your entry and it was indeed a secure transaction. Thank you for the Contribution!

I'm thinking about quarter of a paper lunch bag full but can't decide whether to roll it up or leave it shaped like a tear-drop. There's the chance of rippage (pre-detonation, which rolling it up would help avoid) versus a nice plumb of floor upon impact to consider. Anyone "been there, done that"?

Top half of page has two letters and a captioned picture of a Piet underway. The lower half deals with the "Landing Gear Strut-Coil Spring Shock absorbing" There is a fine technical drawing of the device. It lists the coil spring as an "H-56 -Lamina-3/4IDX 1 1/2 ODX6 inches". Even though I have completed my gear and shocks I'm fearful that the coils are too strong and should be changed. Would anyone know the source of these H-56 Lamina springs. Would sure appreciate some help on this one.

That makes for a flat appearance at the tail. Dick N. ----- Original Message ----- From: Mike Green To: pietenpol-list@matronics.com Sent: Wednesday, November 16, 2005 7:30 PM Subject: Pietenpol-List: External stringers Hi All, Just wanting to know what you guys have done at the tail end with the external stringers for the fabric stand off. I was trying to avoid adding the 1/4"x1/2" stringer to both sides of the vertical section of the tail to prevent having a "fat" tail post leading into a "skinny" rudder but having pondered about it for a day, seem to think it's the easiest option. Any advise/criticism welcome. Mike Green Romsey, Victoria, AUSTRALIA.
