| Subject: | PLEASE READ - 2011 List Fund Raiser Kickoff - 21 Years |
Strong!!
Dear Listers,
This year marks 21 years of the Email Lists and Forums at Matronics! I've been
running these forums for nearly half my life! I've made some great friends over
the years and had countless email and personal conversations with builders
about aircraft building and flying. What a great community of people! The advice,
support, and friendship has be invaluable over the years.
To support the continued operation and upgrade of the List servers, each November
I hold a PBS-like fund raiser. It is solely through the Contributions of List
members that these Matronics Lists are possible. There is NO advertising
to support the Lists. You might have noticed the conspicuous lack of flashing
banners and annoying pop-ups on the Matronics Email List email messages and web
site pages including:
* Matronics List Forums http://forums.matronics.com
* Matronics List Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search
* Matronics List Browser http://www.matronics.com/listbrowse
* Matronics List List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com
You don't find advertising on any of these pages because I believe in a List experience
that is completely about the sport we all enjoy - airplanes!
During the month of November, I will be sending out List messages every couple
of days reminding everyone that the Fund Raiser is underway. I ask for your patience
and understanding during the Fund Raiser and throughout these regular
messages. The Fund Raiser is only financial support mechanism I have to pay all
of the bills associated with running these Lists. Your personal Contribution
counts!
Once again, this year we've got another terrific line up of free gifts to go along
with the various Contribution levels. Many of these gifts have been provided
by some of the vary members and vendors that you'll find on Matronics Lists
and they have been either donated or provided at substantially discounted rates.
This year, these generous people include:
* Bob Nuckolls of the AeroElectric Connection http://www.aeroelectric.com
* Andy Gold of the Builder's Bookstore http://www.buildersbooks.com
These are extremely generous guys and I encourage you to visit their respective
web sites. Each one offers a unique and very useful aviation-related product
line. I would like publicly to thank Bob, and Andy for their generous support
of the Lists again this year!!
You can make your List Contribution using any one of three secure methods including
using a credit card, PayPal, or by personal check. All three methods afford
you the opportunity to select one of this year's free gifts with a qualifying
Contribution amount!!
To make your Contribution, please visit the secure site below:

I would like to thank everyone in advance for their generous financial AND moral
support over the years!

Mark,
thanks for the info on demagnetizing the cables.
I tried to do just that but did not have the right equipment.
A friend had his mounted the same place mine was and did not have the problem.
I started to go to S.S. cables also but it was easier to re-locate the compass.

That is the advantage of an experimental aircraft, we can do what works.
I happen to have the demagnitizers (multiple) so that was the easy way
for me.

| Subject: | 601 XL Upgrade Question about Aileron Stop |
Hello all. I have nearly finished the upgrade to my 601 XL. One holdup
is the aileron stop mounted in the fuselage. The stop is clecoed in
place now and rides the top of the aileron cable turnbuckles. I could
make a new part, but it will still be in the way every time the
turnbuckles have to be readjusted and safety wired. Has anyone found a
better way to add this aileron stop where you can still access the
turnbuckles?
Thanks
Chuck Maggart, 601XL w/ Jabiru

I made the stops adjustable because I didn't think I could fine tune them by filing
away material. I guess I could remove the movable parts to get better access
to the turnbuckles but I hadn't thought of doing that. But I haven't safety
wired them yet either. I don't know how to accomplish the task because I can't
reach them from the hole in the floor or by kneeling down in the cabin. I can
get them screwed together but safety wiring is a long shot. I would guess that
if you can get them adjusted properly and then somehow get the bolt out of
the torque tube you could wire them and reinstall them but you have to deal with
30 lbs of tension. The balance turnbuckle could be used for the tension adjustment
after wiring the other two but that one is the hardest to get to in my
opinion. Just my thoughts.
It will be interesting to hear from others on this topic.
Chuck

Hi Chuck,
All you need to do is learn how to safety wire a turnbuckle one handed
without seeing what you are doing.
No sweat.
