(CLOJAN@aol.com) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 12:24:05 PM PST US From: Matt Dralle Subject: Zenith-List: PLEASE READ - Pending ISP Upgrade For Matronics... --> Zenith-List message posted by: Matt Dralle Dear Matronics Listers, Sometime during the next 72 hours, the ISP (Internet Service Provider) for Matronics will be upgrading the level of service to 1.1Mb from the current 768k. When they reprovision the line, there will be an outage requiring that the local router here be restarted. It is also unclear whether or not the physical line will support the new rate, so some testing will be required to verify the new service at the time of installation. Unfortunately, I don't really have an idea of exactly when they will be reprovisioning the line, so I wanted to give everyone a heads up on what's going on. All Matronics List services such as email list redistribution, subscriptions, and web search and browse will be unavailable during the upgrade. In other upgrade news, last Thursday, 3/13/03 I upgraded the firewall appliance between the Internet and the Matronics systems. This new firewall represents a substantial increase in performance and hopefully reliability over the previous system. It will compliment nicely the new level of ISP connectivity. Finally, these are just two examples of the upgrades brought to you compliments of the 2002 List Fund Raiser. A special thanks to all that made a Contribution in 2002 and so far this year! Everyone that uses these Lists appreciates your generosity! I will post a short message again if I manage to get some clear direction on the time-frame for upgrade, or perhaps when its been completed. Thanks again!!

It actually creates a nice work surface to drill in to and when you celco the ends of the celco will punch into the cardboard leaving your work perfectly flat. It is full of holes after making most of the wiggly parts and some of the fuselage but Zenith was nice enough to put extra in the kit at no additional charge.

The instructions calls for something like a 6b4-3 and the sticker on the part is a 6f1-7. Not even close. The F makes more sense for "fuselage" but it is not in the manual this way. I find something that looks like it could be the part then I measure all the dimensions to make sure it is the right part. Two things I envy about you scratch builders. 1- you don't have this problem. 2- you don't have to deal with the darn stickers. Someone tell Zenith that they make labels with removable glue now days.
