Here's how it works... As soon as a List member makes a Contribution through the Matronics Fund Raiser web site, they will instantly cease to receive these Fund Raiser messages for the rest of the month! Its just that simple. I really do appreciate each and every one of your individual Contributions to support the Lists. It is your support that enables me to upgrade the hardware and software that are required to run a List Site such as this one. It also goes to pay for the commercial-grade Internet connection and to pay the huge electric bill to keep the computer gear running and the air conditioner powered on. I run all of the Matronics Email List and Forums sites here locally which allows me to control and monitor every aspect of the system for the utmost in reliably and performance. Your personal Contribution matters because, when combined with other Listers such as yourself, it pays the bills to keep this site up and running. I accept exactly ZERO advertising dollars for the Matronics Lists sites. I can't stand the pop-up ads and all other commercials that are so prevalent on the Internet these days and I particularly don't want to have it on my Email List sites. If you appreciate the ad-free, grass-roots, down-home feel of the Matronics Email Lists, please make a Contribution to keep it that way!! http://www.matronics.com/contribution Thank you!

Latex on everything except the nose, a nd then I used auto enamel on the nose. It was a two part and it just did n ot look right Too shiney and I could not get a match. So then I did a good sanding job and put a primer on that would hold the latex on and it looks j ust fine. Everything rolled or brushed of course. I have flown it a couple of hours and heat does not seem to affect it. I was at sun n fun when your wings were being taken apart and I was wondering if they are back together. I used Benjaman Mores latex house paint. How about my spelling?
