:-)
If you received this particular Matronics List Email message, its because you haven't
yet made a Contribution to support your Lists! This is the first PBS-like
funds drive message under the new distribution system. The new system selectively
sends out the Contribution messages ONLY to those that forgot to whip
out the 'ol credit card this year to support the continued operation and upgrade
of the Matronics Email Lists! Don't you wish PBS worked that way? :-)
You heard that right. Once you make your Contribution, these support requests
messages during November will suddenly stop coming to your personal email inbox!
Pardon me if I seem kind of excited about the new feature. I've wanted to
implement something like this for a number of years now, but it was always such
a daunting task to modify the back-end List processing code, that I just kept
putting it off. Finally this year, I just decided to bite the bullet and put
the code-pounding time it to make it work. A few days later, bam! A working
system!
Anyway, I'll stop gushing now. 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
like this. It also goes to pay for the Commercial-Grade Internet connection
and to pay the rather huge electric bill to keep the computer gear running
and the air conditioner powered up.
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 commercialism that is so prevalent on the Internet
these days and I particularly don't want to have it on my Email List site.
I'm pretty sure you don't either.
If you appreciate the ad-free, grass-roots, down-home feel of the Matronics Email
Lists, please make a Contribution today to keep it that way!!

Dear Listers,
A number of Listers emailed and indicated that, even though they had made a Contribution
this year, they still received the Contribution message yesterday.
I looked into it and I found a slight anomaly (ok, bug) in the new code specifically
as it related to Listers that had made their Contribution through PayPal
AND have a DIFFERENT email address for their PayPal account and for their Matronics
List subscription.
If your PayPal account email address is DIFFERENT than the email address you are
subscribed to the Matronics List(s) as, then my new code module couldn't tell
that you had made a Contribution, since it was using the PayPal email address
instead of the List email.
I've fixed this issue for any new PayPal Contributions, but I don't have any easy
way of resolving this for any of the previous Contribtuions. Again, this is
ONLY an issue if your PayPal and Matronics List email addresses ARE NOT the
same. Otherwise, everything works great.
If you made a PayPal Contribution before 11/09/06 AND your email addresses don't
match, please drop me an email at " info@matronics.com " (do not reply to this
message!) and give me your Name, and both Email Addresses and I will manually
update the records so that things will work as advertised.
Sorry for the hassle! New code; new bugs... :-)

| Subject: | Tailwheel - 782 cover |
Talk about serendipity. I am at the stage with the fuselage where I'm
riveting the tail cone, center section, and forward section together.
The fuselage is still upside down. While waiting for my wife (the
bucker) to get free I've spent a few days doing tasks that are listed
later on in the instructions. I had not riveted the bottom forward skin
on yet. I came to the front covers.
For those of you with the tailwheel version I'm hoping you can give me
some insights on fitting and attaching the 782D angles to the 9101 web.
Since I hadn't riveted the forward bottom skin on I've got that off now
but I'm still not sure how is the best way to proceed. I can't imagine
what this would be like if that skin were permanently on. So far as I
can tell the instructions are completely silent on this subject (looks
to me as if all the fitting should have been done long ago and the
riveting done as a pre-cursor to the stage I'm in now, but, oh well) and
the drawing is ok but has errors, as it turns out.
I have found out the hard way that if the nutplates in the 782D are
installed before 782D is riveted to 9101 you can't get the rivet puller
on the rivets and if you wait to do the nutplates till 782D is riveted
to 9101 you can't get a squeezer on some of the rivets. In my case the
holes are drilled for the nutplates per the drawing but they aren't
installed.
The other, hopefully minor, problem is that one can't cleco the 782D to
the 9101 because there isn't enough interstitial space for the end of
the cleco. How have you handled keeping the angle positioned properly
while drilling the four holes? The only thing that has occurred to me
is to pull a rivet at each hole as I go along. I'm going to use 3/32
monel rivets (ok'd by Van's) because the LP4-3s seem outrageously large
for this application.
