| Subject: | List Fund Raiser |
A couple of years ago I implemented an automatic "squelch button" of sorts for
the Fund Raiser messages. Here's how it works... As soon as a List member makes
a
Contribution through the Matronics Fund Raiser web site, he or she will instantly
cease to receive these Fund Raiser messages for the rest of the month! Its
just that simple. Don't you wish PBS worked that way! :-)
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 like this. 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!!

Fred
At low temps,Lift the lock of the gas cap and let it sit
for 15min or so,befor removing the cap.
The ring will have time to relax making it easier to remove.

Buna N will work fine with 100LL, but Viton is a better choice, if you plan on
using Auto Fuel. The additives in unleaded auto fuels will cause Buna N (aka Nitrile)
to shrink over time.

Robin, you are a bold builder to offer those fine graphic designs for
public consumption/opinion and plagiarizing.
I think the Cirrus group is bold much like the Columbia was, before
Cessna's purchase in bucking graphic artist input to flow/symmetry and
balance. My wife says she can spot a male designer every time. She
won't let me consider a top heavy dark canopy while I am alive during or
after the build process. Here's toasting a cold one to your long life
and smiles from the rest of us.
A point to consider is a natural flow to those graphics and the dramatic
James Cowl, Remember the leading edge compatibility to future paint
chipping (from Ice/Rain/Rocks/FOD) and the striking use of contrasting
or complementary colors. You're going to be a natural for 3Ms clear Prop
Tape films used for leading edges, gap seals and other scuff resistant
surfaces. Others might walk the flightline and learn the hazard areas
on the flying RV-10s before tackling such a solution.
The heat loads from the (most massive Vans) fiberglass canopy and the
expansive Plexiglas touring windows would cause me to ask John Gonzales
"How does that work in a Glider?" In a Piper, the door stays open as
long as possible to create adequate ambient air flow to exhaust the heat
build up at startup and idle. Cessnas flying under that big umbrella
can't comment. In an RV-10, the gull wing door design wants to take
flight. Tim's website has my research on Colors/Temperatures from
several years ago at the big VANs Fly-In. Everyone including John
Strain is waiting for Ed Hayden's report on his onboard A/C system or
Deems Ice Chest Solution to the heat soak problems.
I think you are doing a great service for us so that future builders
consider such schemes. I still give Wayne Edgerton (N602WT) and Deems
Davis (N519PJ) my high mark for individually unique graphic design,
color choices, flow and quality of topcoat. Scott Schmidt (N104XP) got
my first vote for his one of a kind graphic scheme and the dramatic use
of Pearl White base paint. Tim Olson did a great scheme on (N104CD). A
paint job should remain Timeless. After painting show cars, I still
cringe when an owner would want a perfectly great paintjob redone so he
could resubmit the following year as a New Entry. Oh well, it was his
money, the paint didn't matter then. Even our airline gets wrapped up
in changing paint schemes to match mood changes with the season. Jim
Hergert's (N6XE) set the Experimental standard for changing colors with
the prismatic resins. So much so, that Garmin used the picture for
their "Fast Glass" Panel advertising and ironically the panel is all
Chelton.. only his radio stack was Garmin, now go figure.
Every well painted RV-10 is a tribute to the love and attention invested
in the build process.
Barnstormers has a diverse range of paint jobs, graphics, colors and
downright homemade paint schemes on the RV-10s being turned. Yours may
be the Next Big Winner. Copperstate '08 gave their Grand Champion Award
to a striking paint scheme on a plastic aircraft done right down the
street from VANS. The painter (Craig Roberts) did not even know till
after the fact the impact he had on the Arizona judges. it was more
than a year old having been seen at Copperstate back in 07. Timeless,
now that's a great paint scheme.

It's time for me to finalize my paint scheme and so true to form last
minute I came up with a number of alternate designs.
Keep in mind this plane has the James cowl. If interested please review
the designs and email me off list with your favorite design # and any
comments you may have.
