Dear Listers,
Who is Matt Dralle and what exactly are these Lists? Well, I've been working in
the information technology industry for over 20 years primarily in computer
networking design and implementation. I've also had a rather extensive background
in web development and CGI design during this period.
I started the Matronics Email Lists back in 1990 with about 30 fellow RV builders
from around the world. Since that time, I have added 50 other kinds of aircraft
related Lists to the line up and numerous other List related services such
as the Archives and Search Engine just to name a few.
For the upmost in flexibility and reliability, I have chosen to run all of my own
servers here locally. Other support systems include a 1 Gigabit, fully switched
network infrastructure, a commercial-grade Netscreen firewall, a Barracuda
spam filter, a local T1 Internet router, and a commercial business T1 Internet
connection with static addressing.
The computer servers found here include two, dual processor Xeon Linux systems
dedicated to the email and web functions respectfully, and another P4 Linux system
serving as a remote storage disk farm for the archives, databases, and for
an on-line, hard drive-based backup system with 3.2 Terabytes of storage. This
entire system is protected by multiple commercial-grade uninterrupted power
supply (UPS) systems that assure the Lists are available even during a local
power outage!
I recently upgraded all of the computer racking infrastructure including new power
feeds and dedicated air conditioning for the room that serves as the Computer
Center for the Matronics Email Lists. Here's a new composite photo of the
List Computer Center following this Summer's upgrades!

As you can see, I take running these Lists very seriously and I am dedicated to
providing an always-on, 24x7x365 experience for each and every Lister.
But building and running this system isn't cheap. As I've stated before, I don't
support any of these systems with commercial advertising on the Lists. It
is supported 100% through List member Contributions! That means you... and you...
and YOU!
To that end, I hold a List Fund Raiser each November and ask that members make
a small Contribution to support the continued operation and upgrade of this ever-expanding
system. Its solely YOUR Contributions that keep it running!
Please make a Contribution today to support these Lists!

Thank you!

At the risk of raising many concerns...I have placed a 3/4 inch hole in
the rear baffle (firewall side) which I plug in the summer and open in
the winter...something that must be 'played with' until you have the
desired temperature effect...I do not use cowling flaps or other cover
adjustments...but I am flying a O-235 L2C engine not a O-320.
I have also reduced the exit flows near the exhaust pipes...which was
done with insulation wraps to prevent heat damage to the lower
cowling...however, I suspect that this also altered the engine operating
temperature.
I undertook these minor changes with caution...not wanting to install
cowl flaps...and have been able to maintain a 160-180 temperature range
in the winter...still making minor adjustments in the hotter months to
keep temps below 200 degrees. Temp references are to oil temp.

If you're covering the rear (air exit) of the oil cooler then you should
know that that is not nearly as effective as blocking the front (air inlet).
Here's the perfect solution for the problem...
