    Dear Listers, The percentage of people making a Contribution to support the Lists this year is currently lagging behind last year by approximately 21%! I'm hoping that everyone is just waiting until the last minute to show their support... ;-) Please remember that it is solely your direct Contributions that keep these Lists up and running and most importantly - AD FREE! If the members don't want to support the Lists directly, then I will likely have to start adding advertisements to offset the costs of running the Lists. But I *really* don't want to have to start doing that. I really like the non-commercial atmosphere here and I think that a lot of the members appreciate that too. Please take a moment to make a Contribution today in support of the continued ad-free operation of all these Lists: http://www.matronics.com/contribution I want to send out a word of appreciation to all of the members that have already made their generous Contribution to support the Lists! Thank you! Matt Dralle Email List Administrator

    It's way down the road for me, just wanted to make sure that there was a little rework as possible when the time comes. I've got plenty of time...

    Have heard from a few folks that expressed some concerns about the skins for the elevators. Any thoughts, hints or advice? Would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Stefan Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=215392#215392

    "because I am designing the floats for the 750 I will need to follow suit on the engine for the LSA model" That doesn't make any sense to me. Design the floats for the best airframe, motor combination. It is an amateur/homebuild, like the 701 or 801! LSA or not. Or do I miss something here?

    I would imagine that the majority of CH 750 builders will be installing an O-200 engine, as that is what the factory will be supporting. Assuming that the SLSA version of the plane will also use an O-200 engine, then the greatest market potential for the new floats will be for the those with the same configuration. With that said, I will be installing a 125 HP Franklin 4A-235 engine on my plane, and also have plans to install it on floats. The 125 HP Franklin engines are designed to fit on an O-200 mount, and are very similar in weight and dimensions, so the O-200 cowl will work just fine as well.

    Subject: Re: 750 engine choice
    Stefan, the engine has little to do with the installation of the floats they are in fact designed for the airframe. I am looking at Customer relations. THE people buying an sLSA complete ready to fly aircraft are not builders, they are not familiar with installation procedures (this is of course generalized and does not apply to all) The LSA owners that are interested in floats, just want to know that they work with the combination they have purchased. I am not talking about people who have bought a kit or built from plans, only the ones that have bought the SLSA. In that my 750 will have what the sLSA version will have installed. Builders for the most part will know that a lighter installation with more torque and the same or more HP will be a better installation for getting off the water. You didn't miss anything, I just wasn't clear enough. Once again my preference is the Rotax 912ULS or the 914 I believe this would be a better installation in the 750, but that is based only on personal opinion and not hard facts.
