Dear Lister,
Please read over the RV-List Usage Guidelines below. The complete
RV-List FAQ including these Usage Guidelines can be found at the
following URL:

Thank you,

******************************************************************************
RVSouthEast-List Usage Guidelines
******************************************************************************
The following details the official Usage Guidelines for the RVSouthEast-List.
You are encouraged to read it carefully, and to abide by the rules therein.
Failure to use the RVSouthEast-List in the manner described below may result
in the removal of the subscribers from the List.
RVSouthEast-List Policy Statement
The purpose of the RVSouthEast-List is to provide a forum of discussion for
things related to this particular discussion group. The List's goals
are to serve as an information resource to its members; to deliver
high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster camaraderie
among its members; and to support safe operation. Reaching these goals
requires the participation and cooperation of each and every member of
the List. To this end, the following guidelines have been established:
- Please keep all posts related to the List at some level. Do not submit
posts concerning computer viruses, urban legends, random humor, long
lost buddies' phone numbers, etc. etc.
- THINK carefully before you write. Ask yourself if your post will be
relevant to everyone. If you have to wonder about that, DON'T send it.
- Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive
that is growing in size at an extraordinary rate. Try to be concise and
terse in your posts. Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and
responses.
- Keep your signature brief. Please include your name, email address,
aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location. A short line
about where you are in the building process is also nice. Avoid
bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary
space in the archive.
- DON'T post requests to the List for information when that info is
easily obtainable from other widely available sources. Consult the
web page or FAQ first.
- If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:" line of
your response the same as that of the original post. This makes it
easy to find threads in the archive.
- When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your
response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the
reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that
quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive
can not be overstated!
- When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT
then go ahead and reply to the List. Be aware that clicking the
"reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your
response to the original poster. You might have to actively address
your response with the original poster's email address.
- DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something
to add that is relevant and has a broad appeal. "Way to go!", "I
agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are better sent
to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large.
- When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to
comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly
contribute something valuable.
- Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone
polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments, personally attack
other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously
controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless debate that
will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing.
- Occassional posts by vendors or individuals who are regularyly
subscribed to a given List are considered acceptable. Posts by
List members promoting their respective products or items for sale
should be of a friendly, informal nature, and should not resemble
a typical SPAM message. The List isn't about commercialism, but
is about sharing information and knowledge. This applies to
everyone, including those who provide products to the entire
community. Informal presentation and moderation should be the
operatives with respect to advertising on the Lists.

Been there, done that! Yeesh.....
I have to agree with Charlie H, though. The fuel price thread is out of
control, and probably doesn't belong on this list. But am I griping?...

Charlie, the reason could be that everyone has an opinion on gas prices and
other useless drivel, but fewer have the knowledge or have experienced
related to a particular problem/topic you may wish to discuss. However, I
have also noticed that as Van's kits transitioned from the old pre
pre-punched kits to the new match-hole pre-punch members of the list seem to
have fewer questions related to building (understandable). Many currently
building have not and will not encounter the types of problems the earlier
kit builders faced . Therefore, the knowledge base on some topics is
probably decreasing - on the other hand the pre-punch kits bring their own
set of questions and problems {:>)

It's also possible that people are making use of the single best tool in RV
Land - the Matronics Archives. Almost every question has already been asked
and answered a hundred times, so you don't need to post a question to the
list. Instead, you can get instant answers from the archives...

The RV-list archives have hundreds, perhaps thousands of posts relating to
corrosion protection and priming. The archives are the single most useful
tool you can utilize in building an RV (or any other aircraft, since there
is a wealth of systems information in there too...).

Hi Kyle,
I am aware of that. Anyone who has been subscribed to the list for more
than a week is aware of the archives becuase of posts like yours. The
question I am asking is around what to do while STORING the items BEFORE
priming and painting. I haven't found anything in the archives on that
issue. I would like to use something that isn't going to strip or
damage the alclad but is going to protect the skins and be easy to clean
off when it comes time to prep for painting. The hundreds of posts I
already spent two hours going through discussed what to do while
prepping for painting, and did not address my question. I would bet
there is someone active on the list that can answer my question in three
lines or less.
on a side note, I think it is even more annoying for someone to respond
to the list with "go search the archives" everytime anyone asks a
question without even reading what the question is about than it is for
someone to post a legitimate question that has already been discussed.
I spend just as much time in the archives as I do reading the list, as I
am sure many of the other people on this list who occasionally ask a
question do. While I'm ranting, I'd like to also say that if people
decide to discuss an issue related to flying or building in anyway and
you (in general not specifically you) aren't interested then find the
key on your keyboard marked "del" and use it.. How is it more
appropriate to post to the list saying "don't post to the list because
I'm not interested in what you have to say" than it is for someone to
continue a discussion they are interested in? This is email, the emails
have subject lines it really isn't that hard to skip the items you don't
care about. Geez.
thanks.

James, part of the problem could be that although you apologized for the
cross-post, you never actually brought over the original question... at
least I can't find it. All I see is the subject line that looks like a
plain vanilla primer question.
Given the twist you've added, e.g. pre-build storage w/o priming, I'd
suggest removing the plastic and spraying with LPS, ACF-50 or
Corrosion-X. I'd definitely remove the plastic even though the new stuff
is reportedly better than in older kits - Van's also recommends removing
it. Any of the anti-corrosion sprays are going to take a thorough
cleaning before primer or paint will adhere. If you ultimately plan to
use a one-step self-etching primer, I'd skip the spray/cleaning and go
straight to primer instead. Just spot prime whatever you scratch during
the build. If you want to use etch-alodine-epoxy or polish the skins
then I suspect you'll have to plan on a clean-up stage.

Thanks Greg.
thats weird. My post shows the question part in my mailer... If nobody
else can see the question, then I understand the first response i got
;) here's the original q' but your answer covers it.
----
I'm working through my tail section and am probably either going to
paint the exterior of the peices when they are all completed or take
them all to a shop to have it painted when the kit is completed. I
looked at my horizontal stabilizer the other day and I noticed that
there was a big handprint (probably mine) that looked kind of gray and
fuzzy (and tough to wipe off so it wasn't just oil). Given that the
whole package wont be ready for paint for probably a year or more is
there something that I should do to ensure that I don't get corrosion
starting on the skins? When I was at vans they apparently put a light
coat of wd40 on them, which I am thinking about doing. Should I clean
it first, and if so with what? Or will the wd take care of it?

One thing I will add to Greg's post is if you can, keep the parts in a climate
controlled area. Specifically, low humidity. Especially if you are anywhere
near the ocean or any other large salt water body. The alclad will do a good
job fighting corrosion on it's own as long as the plastic is removed. Keeping
it shiny while you are building has no major benefit if you are planning on
painting and concern has been raised about corrosion progressing unchecked under
the plastic. If you think you scratched through the alclad you can always
spot prime, WD40, alodine pen it.

James (and others):
It appears that you forwarded an e-mail to the rv-list. Be aware that
when forwarding a message some e-mail clients will attach the original
message to a new message, and since the Matronics list server strips
attachments from e-mails we didn't get your original message. To
forward a message to the list you can either change the settings in
your client to not attach forwarded messages or (easier) simply copy
the text from the original message and paste into a new message. Hope
that helps.
