| Subject: | Wow, Cool! New List Feature... [Please Read] |
Dear Listers,
By popular suggestion, I've written a substantial new code module for the Matronics
Email Lists system. Here's how it works...
During each November, I send out quite a few PBS-like "Please make a Contribution
to support your List" emails. Wouldn't it be cool if, once a member made a
Contribution, they didn't have to receive my support pleas anymore for the rest
of that year?
Well, that's exactly what I've written! Following this posting, anyone that makes
a List Contribution in 2006 will no longer receive my Contribution Pleas for
the rest of the year!
The best part is this not only applies to the Realtime distribution, but also the
Digest distribution! For those that have made a Contribution, the Daily Digest
email-version will be invisibly stripped of my requests as well! (Note that
my requests will still be present in the online versions of the Digests, List
Browse, and on the Forum site.)
For those submitting their Contribution by personal Check, please be sure to include
your email address along with your Check as this is what is used to determine
eligibility.
So, in a nutshell, here's how it works:
Make a Contribution = No more "Please Make a Contribution" messages!
How sweet is that? If that's not a great reason to jump on the Matronics Email
List Contribution site and make your donation today, I don't know what is!
Don't forget that there are some totally awesome free gifts to be had along with
your List Contribution this year!! Don't wait a minute longer to support your
Lists!

Thank you for your Support!!

Has anyone installed a 24 volt system in their 8?
Any issues to be aware of?

Hi All,
After much gut wretching and lost sleep I finally made a decision about my
last major purchase and decided to go with the Hartzel blended airfoil 2 blade
propeller for my soon to be finished RV-8.
Now I'm faced with one last (albeit minor) decision between the 72" and 74"
props. Any thoughts? The guys at Vans considered it literally a "flip a coin"
decision with little decernable difference between the two. Any other
thoughts out there? Noise, ground clearance (probably no biggie with a tail
dragger), ability to grind off tip of the longer one if damaged. I will be greatfull
for any opinions. Thanks!

P.S. Are you happy with your Hartzell blended airfoil prop?

Dennis,
I went with the 74" prop. Supposedly, a bit better performance. Length
is not a problem on the -8.

Gents,
Finally, a thread that doesn't involve "gapping" insults. As we all
have to admit, size does matter. And to follow Bruce's comment,
luckily, length is not a problem for guys that fly the -8. It ain't no
FlyBaby, ha ha.
Didn't want to comment................just felt I had to.
Later,

You may also wish to consider which Hartzell prop you would prefer to have
IF you were to either start off with electronic ignition...... or add it
later. There are EI/harmonic issues that have been identified and evaluated by
Hartzell (and others) which have resulted in rpm/power restrictions and/or
blade life limitations. No big deal, but something else to be aware of.

I think there are some that have done this. I wanted to because I have
a
172 with a 24 v system, and thought it would be nice to have some parts
commonality. I ended up not doing it because of the battery weight,
cost of
some items was much more, like fuel boost pump. In the long run it was
much
easier to stay with 12 for me.

I went with the 74" Blended Airfoil. I have been very happy with it. I
would not worry about ground clearance, if you get the tail up that high
you have more to worry about than a ground strike of the prop. The
blended airfoil has a unique profile and slightly curved tips that, in
my opinion, look cool. Performance has been everything I expected.
