    Subject: Re: web site
    Chris, I am not hosting the site, it's being hosted by LogicalSolutions in Rochester NY (at least that's to whom the IP address is pointing) with Jeffrey Cagwin listed as the Technical Contact (1-585-244-9930). I never heard of him. Currently there are no complaints about the hosting service. I have full FTP access to the web server and experienced no problems with accessing the site. I inherited the banner ads and since someone else appears to be adding new content, I thought it best not mess with them. My (and my staff whom I oftentimes use) labor is free for the Group because I'd like to see the site become something of value for all. If there is money exchanging hands for the advertising privileges, it's not at my end and I have no control over that. Personally, I don't care if the Group gives advertising space away to make the site more attractive for this small band of fanatics, but if money exchanges hands, I would recommend that full disclosure is maintained. I just don't have that information. Currently I am not utilizing web authoring tools but my shop is geared at developing directly in the current scripting platforms (customers' privilege). It's just the manner in which we are set up. What I am working towards is much like a Wiki-type experience, except that folks wouldn't be able to edit others' work. Pilot A would, for instance, submit a story. It would end up in a moderator's inbox who edits it a little bit for language (pilots do not necessary come from the English classroom) and check that the submission is in line with the kind of content that belongs on the site in terms of usefulness and interest. Once the moderator checks the box that approves the submission, it is automatically posted to the page's content files. No messing with the HTML or other scripting code of the site, guaranteeing it's integrity and stability. If the Group would like to comment on the designs before roll-out, I'd recommend that we nominate a few persons who get access the to the development platform (which I created on the existing web server) who would check and sign-off on new developments and changes. Right now I just steam ahead and roll out what I think is best and if there are changes, I apply them as soon as I can. If that's OK, then that's good too. I don't mind working alone - we are making a living in this space, so we won't be too far off too often. Just my thoughts. I hope I have addressed some of your concerns, Chris.

Nico, What tools are you using these days for web authoring? I agree absolutely with a well-thought-out structure. Back when I was doing the web site, I was generating all the framework HTML by hand, so the behind-the-scenes file and directory structure was critical to being able to maintain the site. I accepted word documents as submissions along with individual image files so that I could simply save the document as HTML, add in some IMG tags, and plop it in the proper directory. Surely things are even easier now, but I have to admit that I haven't looked at any authoring tools in many a year. Unless modification tracking and management tools are much better than they were 5 years ago, I don't think it would be wise to allow open modifications (although it might be interesting if you had a rigidly controlled group of "maintainers" who could all edit at will - ie: the wikipedia model). How about providing site framework structure of some type so that people who are interested in submitting new data (or entire pages) would have a reference to work off of. Would that make your life easier as far as integrating new content? The software modification management tools that I use would allow someone to download a section of the site, edit, them re-submit for your approval without any risk of mangling the online copy. I was wondering about all the banner ads too.... I thought you were hosting the site pro-bono for the TCFG? If so, get rid of them unless they're directly paying either you or the FG. chris

Quite some time ago Matt sent out a form to sign up as a bulletin board. > Why do I need to register at all? > You may not have to -- it is up to the administrator of the board as to whether you need to register in order to post messages. However, registration will give you access to additional features not available to guest users such as definable avatar images, private messaging, emailing to fellow users, usergroup subscription, etc. It only takes a few minutes to register so it is recommended you do so. > -------- Milt 2003 F1 Rocket 2006 Radial Rocket Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=186651#186651

    Subject: Re: SB-90C THE STRAIGHT SKINNY!!
    From: yourtcfg@aol.com
    HELLO... First, in my earlier post?I stated that it was not necessary to remove the center fuel tank to accomplish SB90C/D.? That is true,? Both SBs are to inspect only the?FORWARD spar cap radius, at wing?station 24:00.? There is no radius on the back side of the spar, hence, no inspection.? Quoting from SB90C, dated 5-30-1992 , page 1? "airplanes are being included in this SB for continuing inspection of the FRONT SPAR, LOWER CAP, FORWARD FLANGE at wing station 24:00.??SB90C was to be accomplished within 50 flight hours of the issuance of AD 94-04-13, back in 1994.? The first time either SB is done, it is required that the center fuel tank be removed (long bodied airframes only)?to facilitate the installation of?Commander service kit (90C-1,2,3 OR -4 by S/N) and modify the existing structure? Again quoting from SB90C, page 6, part L, "Modify channel sections removed in step (e), to facilitate later inspections".? Once this kit is in place,?and the modification complete,?it is no longer necessary to remove?any fuel tanks to do the required inspection as the above mentioned kits install a doubler with an access hole?so the inspection can be performed.? An important note.? AD 94-03-13 still refers to SB 90C, not 90D.? This is important in that the time requirements between inspections are those of 90C, not D.? Also, while 90D does extend the time between inspections from 500hr to 750hr (normal use), a good thing, it adds an onerous calendar inspection requirement of 60 months (I am working from memory here so...) a bad thing.? Should 90D be referenced in a revised AD, Most of us would be required to do this expensive and largely unnecessary inspection much more frequently.??Any Commander that has been in?continuous service since AD 94-04-13 was published certainly would have the proper service kit installed?and the?modification complete?and therefore would not require the?fuel tank to be removed.? jb???? -----Original Message----- From: Chris <cschuerm@cox.net> Sent: Sat, 7 Jun 2008 6:31 pm Subject: Re: Commander-List: SB-90C ? Tylor Hall wrote:? > Chris,? > you make a good point about having the AD's on the web site or the > links to the FAA web site.? > This is a resource that we need to have reference to. ? I agree absolutely Tylor. Unfortunately, the AD's by themselves are not terribly useful (assuming you can even find them on the atrocity the FAA calls a web site). Many of them just mandate compliance with a SB without including the actual text. The best solution (ie: highest value to Commander owners) would be to place an actual copy of all the SBs and ADs on the Commander web site itself rather than trying to create outside links. Surely Twin Commander could supply the SB's in electronic form???? ? chris? ? ? ?
