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:

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.

Hi Matt,
I have three brand new gas struts, a 5# and two 10# for sale. I tried the
5# and it was not enough to hold the door up. The heavier struts worked
but distorted the door in the closed position. Call me and we can chat.
