He entreats, collects, organizes, writes, and performs a myriad of duties required to create a great newsletter every month. He does it all because of his tremendous passion for general aviation and his love of the Lightning. I believe that a good portion of the Lightning's success has to be attributed to Buz' dedication to the cause and his eagerness to share that passion with others.

The newsletter definitely would not be as good or as "readable" without Linda's dedicated work at finding all the errors that find their way into my writing. And I am not just talking typos. She is super. And as to the Lightning of the month, yes, Bill Hubbard certainly does have a great looking Lightning. I had intended to mention that Bill's "jet" was the first customer Lightning to show up at a major fly in. He has been camping with his Lightning at Oshkosh for the last two years. It always seems to be parked in a "sea of RVs", but stands out by itself as an island without rivets.

My question is, has Bernoulli's principle been revoked? I had seen a smaller RC model of this thing some time ago, but this photo looks like a much bigger model. Up until now I can pretty much say that if it flies, it looks good. In other words, airplanes are mostly beautiful works of art. However, this "thing" is definitely not in that category.

General Tips on how others have accomplished their Builds with Modifications I find very interesting. I pick up on these, and apply to my build. I like the Technical and Modification information the most as it stimulates me to incorporate a better idea (this has Slowed down the Build as I modify, but I would not be happy if modifications were not done). Mod Peter D received his Kit with mine. and I have been amazed (go and check his jet regularly) at his ability to think outside of the square.Several other builders also show this ability from published articles shown in the Newsletter (what a diverse lot we are). As my build proceeds (slow currently due to work and time restraints) I refer to articals you have written on various aspects of building and flying the Lightning as a guide to what can be accomplished, and have this to look forward to. Your efforts are appreciated. Clear Skys Oz BK ----- Original Message ----- From: N1BZRich@aol.com To: lightning-list@matronics.com Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2009 8:57 AM Subject: Lightning-List: new Lightning Newsletter for March 2009 now posted All, Just to confirm for everyone, the latest Lightning Newsletter, issue 2-3 for March 2009 in now posted at both web sites. The Lightning factory site is: http://www.flylightning.net/ And Jim Langley's site is: http://www.jimslightning.com/html/home.html I hope you find this issue both informative and helpful, and at the same time enjoyable and fun to read. I know I may be beating a dead horse, but once again I am pleading for feedback. Hey guys, I just want to make sure it meets your needs and IF you take the time to provide some suggestions and feedback, then hopefully I can improve it. Does anyone read it? Is anyone reading this? Am I alone on this planet? What planet is this? Hey tower, how do you read me? And along the line of improvements, one thing that I have been thinking about doing is developing an index for all the past newsletters. With a detailed index, if someone wanted to go back and re-read a past article or to see if there had been a past article on some subject (say a technical tip on widgets) they could just "click" on the index and see if there was an article on what ever subject. The index would tell you what issue to look in and on what page. I can see this being a useful tool, especially years from now when there have been several years worth of issues. Now that I have mentioned the above idea, what I am looking for is a volunteer to join the Lightning Newsletter staff (you will be the CEO of indexing) and develop the initial index and then keep it updated on a monthly basis. By the way, the newsletter is an equal opportunity employer and your pay will be equal to mine and Linda's.
