Hi Listers,
The List of Contributors (LOC) is just around the corner! On December 1st
I post a list of everyone that so generously made a Contribution to support
the Lists. Its sort of my way of publicly thanking everyone that took a
minute to show their appreciation for the Lists.
Won't you take a moment and assure that your name is on that List of
Contributors? As a number of people have pointed out, the List seems at
least, if not a whole lot more, as valuable as a building/flying/recreating
tool as a typical your magazine subscription. We won't even talk about a
newsstand price... :-)
Won't you take minute and assure that your name is on the upcoming
LOC? Tell others that you appreciate the Lists. Making a Contribution to
support the Lists is fast and easy using your Visa or M/C on the SSL Secure
Web Site:
http://www.matronics.com/contribution
or by popping a personal check in the mail to:

I would like to thank everyone that has so generously made a Contribution
thus far in this year's List Fund Raiser! Remember that its YOUR support
that keeps these Lists going and improving! Don't forget to include a
little comment about how the Lists have helped you! I love to feel the
love... :-)
Best regards,
Matt Dralle

back edge of the elevator is lower.
That's a lot of snow - this usually happens to Cessnas. I've never seen a
Grumman get upset that way. And that includes 14+ inches of snow.

You're probably just fine. It didn't bang on the ground, just got heavier
one flake at the time.

This happens up here in New Hampshire a couple of times every winter.
Usually when there's a really wet snowfall that won't blow off the wings
and fuselage easily, or an ice storm. I keep an old tire under the
tailcone all winter so the elevator doesn't hit the ground first. Last
winter a Cessna parked in back of me got its elevator tips bent pretty
badly this way.
I don't *think* a Grumman would go over very hard, but I've never
actually seen it happening, so I'm not sure.
