Here are just a few examples of what your direct List support enables... It provides for the expensive, business-class, high-speed Internet connection used on the List, insuring maximum performance and minimal contention when accessing List services. It pays for the regular system hardware and software upgrades enabling the highest performance possible for services such as the Archive Search Engine and List Browser. It pays for 15+ years worth of on line archive data available for instant random access. And, it offsets the many hours spent writing, developing, and maintaining the custom applications that power this List Service such as the List Browse, Search Engine, and Photoshare. But most importantly, your List Contribution enables a forum where you and your peers can communicate freely in an environment that is free from moderation, censorship, advertising, commercialism, SPAM, and computer viruses. How many places on the Internet can you make all those statements about these days? I will venture to say - next to none... It is YOUR CONTRIBUTION that directly enables these many desirable aspects of this most valuable List service. Please support it today with your List Contribution. Its the best investment you can make in your Sport - BAR NONE! Email List Contribution Web Site: http://www.matronics.com/contribution Thank you for your support!

Go a little over size for starters, then work them down to the finish size you need. Leave about 1/16 inch gap between the edge of the plexi and the indent in the wing tip. This stuff expands and contracts a lot with heat. If it rubs it will wear through your paint job.

His recent completion was featured in the recent RVator. I am interested in installing that same hp engine in my 9A and would like to learn more about this and about how to do the float installation. Anyone know how to contact Earl?

Here's the catch, I have to buy them 3 at a time.... If you're interested, the price will be $165.00+shipping. Everywhere else I've checked these run $180-190.00+shipping (ACS, Van's, Chief, etc..). If I can get enough people interested, I'll order some. Just thought I'd pass along the savings. This is a great ELT, I own two of them now! Contact me off list if you're interested.
