--> RVSouthEast-List message posted by: Matt Dralle <dralle@matronics.com>
Dear Listers,
Each November I hold a PBS-like Fund Raiser to support the continued
operation and upgrade of the Email List servers at Matronics. The Lists
sponsored here are supported solely though the direct contributions of its
members each year during the Fund Raiser. As you have likely noticed,
there is no commercial advertising on any of the Lists or on any of the
List-related web sites such as the List Browser and List Search Engine.
That doesn't mean they're free to operate, however. To run a first class,
high-performance, highly-available service such as the Forums at Matronics,
its take resources. These resources fall into the categories of financial
and personnel. As far as "personnel" is concerned, its a one-man show and
I perform all of the work required to operate and upgrade the Lists without
being directly compensated for my work. But that's a labor of love. The
financial resources required, on the other hand, are covered primarily
though the generous contributions of the List members.
Direct costs include, for example, a commercial-grade T1 line Internet
connection dedicated primarily to serving the Lister Community. This T1
Internet connection provides a high-performance, dedicated connection to
the Archive and Browsing Tools and assures the quickest, most reliable
delivery of List messages. It seems like there's always an upgrade
required and this year I've added an all new online backup system to
automatically backup all of the Lists Archives as well as provide for
complete system disaster recovery. This new system would enable me to
restore the email and/or web server systems to 100% in only a couple of
hours if one of them were to blow up.
The number of messages processed by the Matronics Forums continues to
increase as well. In the last 12 months, there have been over 70,000
unique messages posted across the various lists, amounting to well over 32
MILLION messages that have been redistributed to List members in that same
period! The List web site also sees an equally high level of traffic with
some 148,000 Archive searches performed last year and a staggering 13
million web site hits!
During the month of November, I will be sending out a Fund Raiser reminder
message a couple of times a week and I ask for your patience and
understanding during this time. The Fund Raiser is the sole means of
support for the Lists, and the existence and longevity of the Lists hinges
directly its success.
This year once again, Andy Gold of the Builder's Bookstore has provided a
number of great incentive gifts during the Fund Raiser. Andy provides
these items to me at a substantial discount and they have proven to be very
popular among the Listers. Thank you Andy for your extraordinary
generosity and support of the Lists again this year! Please visit Andy's
web site, the Builder's Bookstore:
http://www.buildersbooks.com
If you use the Matronics Email Lists and enjoy the quick and easy access to
one of the best resources on the Internet for Homebuilt and General
aviation discussion forums, please make a Contribution today to support the
continued operation. Remember, its *your* Contribution that keeps these
Lists running.
The Contribution web site is freshly updated with a list of all new
incentive gifts! Transactions are SSL secured and you can make your
Contribution using a credit card, Paypal, or a personal check. The

Guys:
Had a fun experience yesterday that I felt I should share with the list to
offer encouragement to those of you still building.
Larry Bowen ... with 14 hours on his new 8 and I flew down to meet up with
Mike Munn (RV-8) to show a perspective builder the RVs and give the $$$$$ ride.
We departed as a flight of 3 .... buzzed a friend's grass strip ... could see
him down there waving !!!
Stopped at Martinsville, Va for a coke and changed planes for the passenger
so that he could get a different ride. On the approach back into Concord the
controller called out Aztec traffic off our right side on a long final ...
giving us the number 2 position ... we could not slow down enought for this Aztec
and finally the controller told him we were 40 kntos faster and to please turn
out and let us come on in .... IT WAS TERRIFIC !!!
The poor Aztec guy was a good sport and wanted to know what the heck we were
flying !! The controller was actually giggling over the radio ... man these
planes are fun ... and fast !!!
Oh yea ... the perspective builder ... he is taking the plunge !!!! Another
successful RV ride !! Welcome to the fold Scott !!

Hey Len -
For your prospective builder friend - I have a nearly new Cleveland C-Frame
tool with table I'd like to see to a good home. The Dimpler look like it
just came out of the box, the table is built from Cleveland's kit, except
that I mounted a 1/4" pegboard top, rather than the folded cardboard that
came with it, carpet on top. I used it on my tail, then built a DRDT-2.
About $220 in it (if memory serves), he can have it for $150.
With both sides of my family in the Hickory area, we're up your way often.
