    Subject: November 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 such as this one. 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!! http://www.matronics.com/contribution Thank you!

For example, if someone replies to one of the messages, when using the List Browse feature, or when accessing List message via the Forum. The system keys on the given email address and since most of these are anonymous public access methods, there is no simple way to filter them.]

    It's time to move the fuselage to the airport and we're wondering if anyone in the Twin Cities has a flatbed towing company they prefer or who has done this before and understands the attention to detail and special handling required. Thanks, Chris Knauf RV-7, N707HK

    Subject: Re: Engine mount washer thickness calculation
    From: Ian <ixb@videotron.ca>
    You'll have to do some measuring to figure out the width of the washers, but my schoolboy trig would have it that the thickness of the washers would be given by: Thickness required = 3/8" * Distance from top mounting bolts to bottom mounting bolts/Distance from top mounting bolts to base of spinner. This is based on the sine law. The triangle having the angle that includes the 3/8" measurement and the triangle that includes the required washer calculation would both have the same angle (sine). Opposite over hypotenuse in both cases becomes the same value. So, measure the distance from the firewall to the spinner and from the top to the bottom mounting bolts and divide the smaller number by the bigger one and use it to multiply by the height required (3/8", .375" or .9525 millimeters).

    Chris, I transported mine twice using a fellow pilot's flatbed trailer. Wings, wheels, and engine mount were not attached. I was told that the engine should not be attached as the road bounces would cause damage. Foam underneath, straps and come-alongs to hold it in place - no issues. I've got a few pictures - zap me direct....

    In my case, the engine was attached to the fuselage (along with the entire empennage, canopy and landing gear) and it made it 30 miles to the airport on a flat bed trailer. No sign of damage to the engine after 1600 hrs. over the last 17 years. Ivan Haecker -4 S. Cen. TX ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ralph E.
