    Subject: What's My Contribution Used For?
    Dear Listers, Some have asked, "What's my Contribution used for?" and that's a good question. Here are just a few examples of what your direct List support enables. It provides for the very expensive, commercial-grade T1 Internet connection used on the List insuring maximum performance and minimal contention when accessing List services. It pays for the regular system hardware and software upgrades enabling the highest performance possible for services such as the Archive Search Engine, List Browser, and Forums. It pays for narly 20 years (yeah, I really said *20* years) worth of online archive data available for instant random search and access. And, it offsets the many hours spent writing, developing, and maintaining the custom applications that power this List Service such as the List Browse, Search Engine, Forums, and Wiki. But most importantly, your List Contribution enables a forum where you and your peers can communicate freely in an environment that is free from moderation, censorship, advertising, commercialism, SPAM, and computer viruses. How many places on the Internet can you make all those statements these days? It is YOUR CONTRIBUTION that directly enables these many aspects of these valuable List services. Please support it today with your List Contribution. Its one of the best investments you can make in your Sport... List Contribution Web Site: http://www.matronics.com/contribution Thank you for your support! Matt Dralle Email List Administrator

    I haven't totally rejected the composite gear, I'd just like to know more about it (given CZAW history with other items). Maybe someone has some history they'd like to share? Mathieu at Zenair said he'd be willing to discount the adapter blocks for the Grove gear, if we did a group buy. He said he'd provide both side somewhere in the $150 neighborhood.

    Terry/William: Has ZBAG had the chance to run the new upgraded design through the computer model used by your engineer? Mathieu: Has AMD test flown an upgraded aircraft yet? All: Any comments on my proposed wire bracing? Placing support at station 8 rather than inboard may look ugly but the math sure seems to work out better.

    That sounds like a good price to me, assuming that he is talking about the complete CZAW attachment package. I have been collecting information on the CZAW gear attachment. I'll attach a couple of photos that I got courtesy of Martin Pohl. One thing that I hadn't anticipated is that there appears to be a steel channel all the way across the bottom of fuselage. That would probably take something away from the weight advantage of the composite gear, but I don't know how much. Another thing is that the CZAW axle mount includes a standoff. Presumably that is to provide a bit of separation between the gear leg and the (potentially) hot brake disk. Note the composite gear leg does not go inside the wheel pants, unlike the standard aluminum gear. Hopefully, Mat would include that in the package.

    I have a complete set of CZAW landing gear. I have all the attachments, wheels, wheel pants and the lightweight gold wheels that comes with the CZAW planes, front strut and everything needed to install. The steel channel your talking about is not steel. It is just a gear channel, just like the one for the standard gear. The difference is the depth of this channel. The standard channel that comes with a US kit will not work with the composite gear. A new channel will have to be made. I am looking for that channel now, or I will sell my gear and stick the Zenith gear back on. As far as any additional weight, the only attachment that is different is 2 attachments that go inside the channel and 4 aluminum stiffeners that go along the channel inside the cabin. As far as weight savings, I have both sets on hand and it is 31 lbs savings on weight. If you would like some more details on the attachments, email me off list and I will send them to you. I have pictures of the attachments and everything else. Larry Husky Madras, Oregon In a message dated 11/18/2009 8:07:22 P.M.

    Hi, Terry, and thanks for the photos! They really do explain what the composite gear is all about in the 601 installation. I can certainly see how this configuration saves beaucoup weight over the stock, or even Grove, metal gear. Certainly not as visually clean an installation, what with the axle stand-off, but it's always about trade-offs, isn't it? I can't tell if the installation is all blind rivets and bolts, or if there are solid rivets through the outer brackets. Thanks again for taking the time to elevate the discussion. I learn something new here every day.

    No solid rivets. It attaches the same way the Zenith attachments attach per the CZAW plans. Larry Husky Madras, Oregon In a message dated 11/18/2009 8:39:50 P.M.
