| Subject: | [PLEASE READ] Why I Have A Fund Raiser... |
>From the beginning, the Matronics List and Forum experience has been free from
advertising. I have been approached by fair number of vendors wanting to tap
into the large volume of activity across the various lists hosted here, but have
always flatly refused. Everywhere you go on the Internet these days, a user
is pummeled with flashing banners and videos and ads for crap that they don't
want. Yahoo, Google and that elk are not "free". The user must constantly
endure their barrage of commercialism thrust into their face at an ever increasing
rate. Enough is enough, and the Lists at Matronics choose not to succumb
to that.
That being said, running a service of this size is not "free". It costs a lot
of money to maintain the hardware, pay for the electricity, air conditioning,
maintenance contracts, etc, etc. etc. I choose to hold a PBS-like fund raiser
each year during the month of November where I simply send out a short email
every other day asking the members to make a small contribution to support the
operation. That being said, that contribution is completely voluntary and non-compulsory.
Many members choose not to contribute and that's fine.
However, a very modest percentage of the members do choose to make a contribution
and it is that financial support that keeps the Lists running. And that's
it. To my way of thinking, it is a much more pleasant way of maintaining the
Lists and Forums. The other 11 months of the year, you don't see a single advertisement
or request for support. That's refreshing and that is a List and Forum
that I want to belong to. I think other people feel the same way.
Won't you please take a minute to make your Contribution today and support these
Lists?

ket (condensate water) when the airplane is in a 3-point stance? I am tryin

| Subject: | Where are Flop plans? |
I am just getting started and have been reading the recent posts about the flop.
Where can one find plans for the flop or is this something that everyone figures
out for themselves?
Thanks

what I ran was 3/8" stainless steel tubing and with the fuselage sitting in flight
attitude I attempted to bake the bends work so that it would have a gradual
all all the way to the gascolator which is mounted on my firewall close to the
bottom-I can reach under the back of the cowl here it comes below the fuselage
and press my quick drain on it - what I did was fasten my tubing to the rear
edge of my left forward cabane and I do have a short section or rubber hose
attaching it to the fitting in the valve which is right in the tank.. and just
for my peace of mind I wrapped a piece of stainless steel safety wire around
the valve- and along the hose and around the fuel line below it with the hopes
that it would make a grounding path for static so if I am fueling from a pump
or truck that has a ground wire I can hook t the exhaust pipe or such- it will
be in contact through all the grounds from the engine to the firewall to the
fuel line right on up to the tank. Raymond
