Subject: PLEASE READ - Matronics Email List 2016 Fund Raiser During November!


Dear Listers,

Each November I hold a PBS-like fund raiser to support the continued operation
and upgrade of the Email List and Fourm Services at Matronics. It's solely through
the Contributions of List members (you) that these Matronics Lists are possible.


You have probably noticed that there are no banner ads or pop-up windows on any of the Matronics Lists or related web sites such as the Forums site http://forums.matronics.com , Wiki site http://wiki.matronics.com , or other related pages such as the List Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search , List Browse http://www.matronics.com/listbrowse , etc. This is because I believe in a List experience that is completely about the sport we all enjoy - namely Airplanes and not about annoying advertisements.

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!

This year we have a really HUGE and TERRIFIC line up of free gifts to go along
with the various Contribution levels. In fact, there are over 24 different gifts
to choose from! There's something for everyone, to be sure. Most all of
these gifts have been provided by some of the vary members and vendors that you'll
find on the Matronics Lists and they have been either donated or provided
at substantially discounted rates.

This year, these generous members include:


Andy Gold of the Builder's Bookstore http://www.buildersbooks.com

Bob Nuckolls of the AeroElectric Connection http://www.aeroelectric.com

Corbin Glowacki of My Pilot Store http://www.mypilotstore.com

George Race of Race Consulting http://www.mrrace.com/

Jon Croke of HomebuiltHELP http://www.homebuilthelp.com


These are very generous guys and I encourage you to visit their respective web
sites. Each one offers a unique and excellent aviation-related product line.
I would like publicly to thank Andy, Bob, Corbin, George, and Jon their generous
support of the Lists again this year!!

Please 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 web site:

http://www.matronics.com/contribution

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

Thank you!

Hello Steve, The further away that you can get that magnetic compass from
problematic magnetic sources such as steel engine mounts and all of the
electromagnetic trash emissions associated with gyro instruments and
avionics the better it will perform.

Why not mount it near the top center of the roll bar near the windshield?

If I remember I will take a picture of my magnetic compass installation in
that area the next time I go to the hangar and e mail it to you.

I mounted mine on the glair shield in order to keep it away from
interference of other instruments in the instrument panel.

Hello Steve, Attached is the picture of my KIS TR-1 magnetic compass
mounting that I promised to send to you.

As you can see it is mounted onto the fuselage ceiling just aft of the
windshield canopy / roll over support bow. This is a better location than
having the compass near any avionics and gyro instruments that can generate
a lot of magnetic influence trash.

The mounting method was to epoxy a small flat piece of fiberglass to the
ceiling with two small brass or aluminum (non magnetic) machine screws,
compatibly located, and projecting down into the compass mount. The screw
heads were fixed so that they would not rotate and the compass mount was
then held in position by two non magnetic cap or acorn nuts.

Any questions?

OC

PS: Note the compass correction card fastened to the canopy bow.

Hello Galin, Thanks for your input and great picture. I am very impressed with your cockpit. Some questions if I may:

1) Why did you switch from the vertical card compass to the S.I.R.S.?

2) The red things are locks on the door supports?

3) You have a portable GPS and an iPad on RAM mounts in the cockpit?

4) What is the instrument immediately above the Trio autopilot control head and what provides the inputs to that instrument?

5) What is the little square device just below the airflow output on the far right of the panel?

6) What is the red guarded switch by the pilots right knee?

7) How did you come by the carbon fiber flap sector cover? Are there any more available?

Many thanks for your help.

OC

FWIW I had a vertical card compass mounted in the same location OC has his. I have since replaced it with an S.I.R.S. compass as you can see in the photo.
