I can always tell when a wanna-be-mechanic has been working on his (or
someone elses's) airplane by the way the bolts are installed on the clam shells
that
attaches the muffler to the risers.

--> TeamGrumman-List message posted by: Matt Dralle <dralle@matronics.com>
Dear Listers,
This evening I will be upgrading the Matronics Web Server hardware to a new Quad-processor
2.8Ghz Xeon system (yes, 4-physical CPUs!) with an Ultra 320 SCSI
Raid 5 disk system and 5GB of DDR2 RAM.
As with the older system, the new system will be running the latest version of
Redhat Linux. Most of the software configuration work is already done for the
migration, but I still have to sync all of the archive and forum data from the
old system to the new system. I am anticipating about 2 to 3 hours of downtime
for me to fully make the transition, although it could be considerable less
if everything goes according to plan.
The Matronics Webserver will be *UNavailable* from the Internet during the work,
and you will receive a time-out if you try to connect during the upgrade.
Email List Distribution will be *available* during the upgrade of the Web Server,
and List message distribution will function as normal.
This represents a significant performance upgrade for the Matronics Web Server
and you should notice nicely improved searching and surfing performance following
the upgrade!
Best regards,
Matt Dralle

Where in the Mid-Atlantic are you located? I've found a great A&P IA at Deck
airport (9D4). Good avionics shop too.
If I'm right I have no need to be angry;
If I'm wrong I have no right to be...

Cliff,
I appreciate your comments, and I do keep coming back to look at the 'Bo'
for my mission; but every A&P I know tries to talk me out of it. They all
have the same refrain: 'part$$$'. And the fact is, I just can't get what I
consider to be good maintenance support even for my Grumman in the Mid
Atlantic region anymore. I know it helps to be an A&P to own a Bo to defer
some maintenance costs, but I have yet to have anyone who might potentially
maintain my next plain enthusiastically endorse the aircraft from a
maintenance perspective...
I guess that rules out the SR-22 as well.

MessageAfter owning numerous Cessnas and lots of Grummans over many
years, I guess I am biased also after owning my Bonanza and several
others for about 9 years now. The Bonanza does many things as well as
the newer SR22 and Columbia and several things much better.
One thing that stuck in my mind from a recent conversation with a Garmin
test pilot who has flown many hours in both the SR22 as well as the
Columbia 350 and 400 and an A36 Bonanza. He said that the controls are
heavy in both the SR22 and Columbia and both planes are not as fast as
their advertised speeds, especially the SR22. All three of the normally
aspirated planes are pretty close to the same speed but the Bonanza is a
much nicer flying plane when it comes to control effort and response.
I haven't see any SR22's in the back country strips in Idaho where I
take the Bonanza.
