| Subject: | Fund Raiser List of Contributors - Please Make A Contribution |
Today!
Each year at the end of the List Fund Raiser, I post a message acknowledging everyone
that so generously made a Contribution to support the Lists. Its my way
of publicly thanking everyone that took a minute to show their appreciation for
the Lists.
Won't you take a moment and assure that your name is on that List of Contributors
(LOC)? As a number of members have pointed out over the years, the List seems
at least - if not a whole lot more - valuable as a building/flying/recreating/entertainment
tool as your typical magazine subscription!
Please take minute and assure that your name is on this year's LOC! Show others
that you appreciate the Lists. Making a Contribution to support the Lists is
fast and easy using your Credit card or Paypal on the Secure Web Site:
http://www.matronics.com/contribution
or by dropping a personal check in the mail to:
Matt Dralle / Matronics
PO Box 347
Livermore CA 94551-0347
I would like to thank everyone that has so generously made a Contribution thus
far in this year's List Fund Raiser! Remember that its YOUR support that keeps
these Lists going and improving! Don't forget to include a little comment about
how the Lists have helped you!
Best regards,
Matt Dralle

Congratulations Bill on your Scout!!
Never met you, but my hat is off to you for finishing and bringing to life another
beautiful plane. I absolutely love the Scout, and doubt there are half a
dozen flying in the country. VERY COOL!!
Funny how most people who build a Scout use a Ford, and most people who build an
Aircamper use a Continental (though this trend seems to be shifting to the Corvair)

Tim,
Check out the NAFI database for flight instructors near you:
http://www.nafinet.org/directory/florida_1.html
That's how I found the guy who gave me the dual in my Piet. Some CFIs
will list 'tailwheel' as one of their specialities, but some who are TW
endorsed forget to put it down. The guy I found prefers to do tailwheel
instruction, but forgot to list it in his database entry.
Good luck!
Dan

Also I think I see extra stress caused by the strap acting as a lever,
I'm not an engineer but the strap is pulled in toward the plane and would
result in a twisting motion in the out direction of the wing top.
Does any one else see this or is this a figment of my imagination?
It's probably strong enough that it doesn't matter but please if
any one else See's this let me know, or if you don't see it let me
know. It looks like having the bolt holes in alignment with the strut
would stop this?
I know we have some very talented engineers out there and I want
to hear from you?

On the supplemental plans that show the long fuselage there is a
redesigned upper strut fitting that put the fitting in line with the
pull of the struts. So you are correct in not liking the original
fitting geometry. However they both seem to work fine on a Pietenpol.
