| Subject: | [PLEASE READ] Why I Have A Fund Raiser... |
Since 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?

Stuart,
I have a Piet with the Ford Model a engine and the bolts fit just fine
albeit a little tight. the trick is to compress the springs to get the
bolt on, after that its a cinch. I have pictures attached. Hope this
helps.

Long time ago I fell in love with the Sky Scout. Being an antique buff I of course
went
for the Model A powered plane. Ordered Orin Hoopman's plans and life changed my
direction. Never got built.
Now I'm older, not necessarily wiser, and have a bit of time on my hands
to play, when I'm not fiddling with my '65 Cessna T-41A or '60 Piper Apache 160.
The plans have been recently dusted off. and I'm rarin' to go! Jigged up the
tail surfaces. and am currently cutting whatever wood I have in my shop
to build up some 'proof-of-concept' pieces. I'll cover them and take them to
the airport to use as testing items (I'm a DME).
Anyhow. I'll probably be making a pest of myself as this project goes slowly together.
Been reading the forum and already gained much useful info. I want to thank you
in advance for your help and understanding.

Ed,
I'm building a Sky Scout with an A-65. Just today I got the wings all rigged
to the fuselage and have had the tail feathers all rigged a few months ago.
Now I'm running the cables for the aileron controls. After that I will star
t the covering process with the Stewart's System. I hope to have her flying t
his coming summer, if all goes according to plans. But all the little detail
s really slow down the whole project.
I've been working on it for two years now, but it seems longer! I wish I had
gone with the Model A, but the A-65 was at hand and very cheap. I have foll
owed the plans very closely, except for a few extra braces in places! I have
not been too concerned about weight, since it is so close the the AirCamper
but only carries one person. It should perform quite well.
I will attach a few pictures.
Welcome aboard,
Ray Krause,
Colusa, CA
Flying a Sonex Waiex, N51YX, Jabiru 3300... Fast and fun, now I need slow an
d low!
Coming out of the workshop for first time.
Looking at the sky!
Cowling and metal work about done.

| Subject: | Re: Honda Goldwing radiator |
Ken;
I have not heard of it being done, but just quickly looking at the Goldwing specs
(among the various models), let's say they are 108HP and they have two radiators,
left and right. That would be about 54HP that each radiator is cooling.
Also no idea how efficient they are, but on the quick-look basis, you might
have a match. What radiator are you using in the test-run videos?

I'm a Designated Mechanic Examiner in Memphis, Tennessee. Retired from
FedEx and Delta. Glad to hear anyone say they've built a Sonex, I first met John
Monnett in Chicago about 1972 when he'd jut built the first Sonerai II.
He was teaching school and designing airplanes, I was working for Delta Air
Lines and writing for Private Pilot magazine. Always liked his airplanes. And,
he's a great guy to boot!
