| Subject: | Contributions Down By 21%... |
Dear Listers,
As of today, contributions to the Matronics List Fund Raiser are lagging behind
last year at this time by 21%. I have a fund raiser each year simply to cover
my operating costs for the Lists. I *do not* accept any advertising income
to support the Lists and rely solely on the contributions of members to keep the
expenses paid.
I run all of my own servers and they are housed here locally, and the Internet
connection is a commercial-grade, T1 connection with public address space. I
also maintain a full backup system that does nightly backups of all List-related
data so that in the event of a server crash or worse, all of the Lists and
the many years of List archive data could be restored onto a new server in a matter
of hours.
All of this costs a fair amount of money, not to mention a significant amount of
my personal time as well. I have a Fund Raiser each year to cover these costs
and I ask that members that feel they receive a benefit from my investments,
make a modest contribution each year to support the continued operation and
upgrade of these services.
If you enjoy the Lists, please make a contribution today. I also offer some incentive
gifts for larger contribution levels. At the Contribution Web Wite, you
can use a credit card, Paypal, or personal check to show your support for the
continuation of these services:

Thank you for your support!

Subject: RV-List: Hydraulic Strut For RV-8 Baggage Door...
Dear Listers,
I was surfing around on the http://www.mykitlog.com recently and saw where
someone had installed an hydraulic strut for holding the front baggage door
open on the RV-8 similar to what you see on a hatch-back. I'll be darned if
I can remember who that was now. I'd like to do something similar and it
would be helpful to know the specs and installation points on the strut.
Anyone?

A friend converted his RV-7A from Van's standard cowl to the Sam James
cowl in hopes of improving his cooling issues. Frankly he noticed no
difference in cooling and about a 2-3 knot gain in speed. So whether it
was worth the effort is open to question.

I am replying directly to you rather than the list, because I do not have
time to reply to dozens of email query's.
I have over 1000 hours with my James Cowl. I find that as a general
statement it is 1 to 5 lbs heavier than the stock Vans cowl. (I have both)
They are on average 5 to 10 knots faster and they cool better. Actually, I
have found that in the winter time (wisconsin) they over cool with the 4 3/4
inch inlet rings supplied. I remedied that by designing and making
rings with a smaller inlet diameter (4 inch) for winter time use. I also
made a set of 3 1/2 inch opening for operations below zere temps.
You may call me any time CST @ 920 619 6968 (cell phone -let phone ring).
Do not reply by Email, I only look at it occassionly .

| Subject: | Oil cooler attachment bolts |
I have a SW 8406R oil cooler on my IO360B1F6 in my RV6A.
Temps are fine - even on hot summer days.
Three of the attachment bolts go through both sets of oil cooler flanges (and in
to the back of the #4 baffle plate) with an aluminum tube providing support
between the flanges. One of the bolts only goes through the 'forward' oil cooler
flange and in to the baffle - per Vans oil cooler installation instructions.
I would like to add a Reiff Oil-Cooler-Heater on the side with the single bolt
going through only one flange. It gets cold here on the DelMarVa peninsula in
the winter. In order to do that, I would need to make the other bolt on that
side go only through the 'forward' flange as well.
Does anyone know any reason that I shouldn't do this? Maybe you need pictures
to figure out my description. I'll try to take some them to show.
Thanks,
Ralph

I have flown with the Sam James cowl and plenum on my RV7A since new. Now
250 hours. Obviously I have no way to compare to "stock" Vans cowls,
however based on general discussions with other RVers I don't think my plane
is any faster nor does it run any cooler than stock. Still, I'm pleased as
I think the S.J. cowls look way cooler!

The two recent message below illustrate a setup problem with the list.
Clicking the Reply button on your email viewer usually replies only to the
original message sender. If you want to reply to the list you click Reply
All. But the Matronics lists are set up to always reply to the list, even if
you click Reply. I wish this behavior would be changed to the more common
behavior.

The Matronics Lists are configured that way intentionally. I have experimented
with a standard reply going back to just the sender (traditional email mode),
but the problem is that most people don't reply-all back to the List. Too many
threads die out prematurely when the List is configured to reply only to the
sender.
Unfortunately (I guess), you don't need a license to use email... :-)

I think Matt has it right! The default behavior is to the list and it
takes a little effort to reply directly to the sender.

Hi Ralph,
Every list I've ever subscribed to has replies going to the list by
default. Think about it; the email came from the list, not the
individual that originally wrote it. Since the email came from the list,
'reply' goes back to the list.
Completely different environment from a regular email.
