Malcolm Hunt Plans builder England ----- Original Message ----- From: Carlos Sa To: zenith-list@matronics.com Sent: Wednesday, September 16, 2009 1:04 AM Subject: Zenith-List: MacMaster-Carr Warning for those living North of the border: After having placed an order last night, and having it confirmed by email, I just received a note from MacMaster, stating that "due to the ever increasing complexity of United States export regulations, McMaster-Carr will only process orders from a few long-established customers in Canada." They could have placed a notice on the web site, but they let your order go through, confirm it, and only then they check your address. Aggravating. What's worse, I don't think there is comparable source of tools and materials... Or is there?

Foreign Object Damage (FOD). The adhesive on the stickers will eventually release, and the sticker will fall off. When it does, it can jam controls and cause similar problems. 2. The adhesive on the sticker attracts dirt and other trash. It can contribute to corrosion, some of it in areas that aren't visible. 3. Weight. An individual sticker doesn't weigh much, but all the stickers in the airplane weigh something. 4. They (in my view) look tacky, no pun intended. ============================================ Do not archive. ============================================ Jim B Belcher BS, MS Physics, Math, Computer Science A&P/IA Retired aerospace technical manager Happiness is a belt-fed weapon ============================================ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message zenith-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Zenith-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/zenith-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/zenith-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
