Dear Matronics Email Listers,
Each year during the month of November, I hold a PBS-like fund raiser
to support the Email Lists sponsored here. As you have probably
noticed, there is no commercial advertising on any of the
List-related web pages or in any of the email distributions. The
Matronics Lists are supported completely though the generous
Contributions of its members.
Making a Contribution to support the continued operation and upgrade
of the Matronics Aviation Lists is completely voluntary, but I
encourage you to consider making a donation that is equal to the
value and entertainment you have received from these Lists over the past year.
And thanks to a number of extremely generous members/businessmen
found on the Lists, there are some truly awesome Free Gifts to be had
during this year's List Fund Raiser! Andy Gold of the The Builder's
Bookstore, Paul Besing of Aeroware Enterprises, and Jon Croke of
Homebuilt HELP have all contributed products from their respective
catalogs in support of this year's Fund Raiser! Thank you!
Andy, Paul, and Jon are great guys and I really appreciate their
support for the Lists. I encourage each List member to visit their
respective web sites for a closer look at each of their great product
lines. Its guys like these that make this such a great hobby/sport
to be a part of! I have included links to each of their web sites below.
And just like PBS, I will be making pretty regular reminder requests
throughout the month of November. I ask for your kind consideration
and understanding during this time and realize that this Fund Raiser
is the *only* source of financing and support I have for these
Lists. I am continually upgrading and improving the hardware and
systems required in support of the Lists. This year saw a
substantial upgrade to all of the computer room infrastructure
including gigabit networking, dedicated air conditioning, an
equipment rack, and high-performance system chassis upgrades. Yes,
it was expensive, but I feel the Lists are worth it! Hopefully you do too!
All of these upgrades are what add up to the High-Performance,
Highly-Available system that everyone has come to expect of the Email
Lists at Matronics.
Please make a Contribution today to support these upgrades and the
continued operation of the Matronics Email Lists. The Contribution
web site is fast, easy, and secure to use. You can even select a
sweet Free Gift with a qualifying Contribution amount. The
Contribution Site can be found here:

Thank you for your generous support!!

Thanks all for the suggestions.
I ended up using some low density foam from Home Depot Aviation. The stuff
starts about 3/8 thick but squeezes to nothing. Put it all the way around
and it appears to work perfect. My Vision Micro computer will appreciate my
efforts! It gets a little wacky with water running through it!
I also used the same foam around the back of the floppper canopy. Sealed
that up real nice too. I found that with the recent addition of boots on
the aileron push tubes that my cold air slow is much better. Now we are
noticing the small spots where air is coming in. Next one to solve is the
flap link holes. Hmmm........

Do not archive I cannot wait to get to the Home Depot Aviation department.
Thank you for the low density foam suggestion. I too started solving the
drafty air problems, and noticed the smaller, and smaller leaks. (John, you
don't understand, we have temperatures below 95 degrees F.) Anyway, I have
carpet in my HR II, and the carpet has a "slit" for the flap control rod to
descend through. The slit is finished with edge tape sown in, and virtually
eliminates the draft. If you don't want carpet, maybe you could put a
naw-ga-hide patch over the hole with a similar slit in it, or just a small carpet
patch. Does anyone know how to keep the "bride" warm in the back seat with the
cabin heater? I have tried battery powered socks, and even a seat warmer, but
to no avail. Maybe 10,500' in the winter is just not a good idea. I may fly
to Florida this weekend, Les Featherston "Airgasm" has 255 hours, and
Missouri is beautiful this time of year, ya'll come when you can! Do Not

I had the same problem on my RV-4 so I`m building kind of an elaborate seal
for the canopy front to sit on.
