Here's how it works... As soon as a List member makes a Contribution through the Matronics Fund Raiser web site, they will instantly cease to receive these Fund Raiser messages for the rest of the month! Its just that simple. 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!

Mine was bundled in a bag with the lumbar inserts. Each seat should be made up of 4 pieces. I wonder if you are missing the lumbar supports too?

I still have this option but would like some real world insight before I make the plunge. Has anyone done this yet? Where seems to be the best location for the connecions? Is it much of a distraction for the rear seat passengers? Inquiring minds need to know Les #40643 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 01:27:18 PM PST US Subject: Re: RV10-List: O2 / Headset Connections From: Kelly McMullen I know you Canadians have some of the most innovative ways to keep warm, but plug-in heat sets? Rear seat pax will be distracted if you are warm and they are cold. ;-) How much do you want hanging off the ceiling? You will already have shoulder belts. Headset wires and O2 hoses as well? Everyone has differing missions. I don't expect to carry backseat pax and go to O2 altitudes. My only debate is where to put front seat jacks to keep them out of way of seat belts, stick, etc. O2 will likely be on tunnel between rear seats so I can reach valves on cylinder.

The position is such that for the pilot and copilot the O2 is behind the heads and out of the way, with easy access to control. For the rear seaters its an easy access, but does cause some plumbing to hang in front of them. It was a trade-off, easy installation by having a single distribution point, versus convienience and aesthetics, by placing each O2 in their armrest/panel. I can say that in 2 years and 200+ hours, I've not needed or used O2 for rearseaters. WRT the headphones, I wouldn't even consider putting them in the overhead console.

At the time I got them from Shell Labs, and it was the best deal I could find...$70 for 10, or, $85/10 which includes prepaid postage. I did the latter. Last week a couple things happened. 1) I used up my first 10 test kits. 2) Some "polaris labs" called to get my contact info, telling me that they were now the Shell subcontracted lab. I found out that my old lab was now not being used by Shellcare. So, I started shopping again for a new oil analysis provider. Most prices ran $12 to $24 per sample....many are available for around $14 per sample. In the end though, I contacted the original company that shell used. http://www.analystsinc.com/ They just sold me another 10 test kits for $85 with prepaid postage, so I'm set for a while again. I have to sign a form authorizing them my old historical info from Shell, but from that point on it's the same test lab so the sampling and reporting will be identical. The person I talked to was Katie 847-305-9955 I thought I'd pass it on because oil analysis is a great thing for long term trending, but it's expensive if you don't find a good deal, and I think this was a pretty good deal compared to what others cost. -- Tim Olson - RV-10 N104CD ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message rv10-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RV10-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/rv10-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/rv10-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
