Bear -----Original Message----- From: N1BZRich@aol.com Sent: Wed, Jun 23, 2010 5:51 pm Subject: Lightning-List: Next Lightning Newsletter As a heads up to everyone, I just want to let you know that the next Light ning Newsletter, the July issue, might be a day or so late. During the th ree years I have been writing it, I have prided myself in getting it out no later than the first day of each month. Up to now, the only exception has been the August issues when I didn't get home from Oshkosh in time to get it out by the first day of August. By the way, that will probably ha ppen again this year as well since OSH runs into August. However, due to a family emergency, the upcoming July issue might be a lit tle late. My sister, who lives near DC, came down to visit me with her ne w boyfriend, this past Saturday. After taking him flying late Saturday af ternoon, we were sitting around my hangar at the Williamsburg Airport and taking turns riding on a kind of exercise machine called a trikke, photo below, that I have had for several years and use around the airport for fun transportation and some exercise. You propel it by doing a kind of skiing motion with your total body. Great workout. My sister had ridde n it before, but for some reason this time she "got her Center of Gravity too far aft" and fell backwards hitting on her rear end (tail) and head - resulting in a lot of pain. She is not tail wheel qualified. After a doctor / pilot friend checked her out on the ramp in front of my hangar, we took her to the emergency room and they found a broken back bo ne, the T-12 (actually they call it a crush fracture of T-12), and as of 5 PM Wednesday (today), she is still in the hospital here in Williamsburg . They have fitted a back brace and are trying to come up with some pain medications that do not make her so sick. There is a chance that she wil l move to a hospital rehab facility near DC soon, perhaps tomorrow. That has been recommended by the local doctors and approved by her insurance. Transportation will be via ambulance. Long range outlook is apparently good with no surgery called for at this time, but the next three weeks ar e going to be painful. Although I have been trying to work on the next newsletter while here with her in the hospital room (almost continuously since Saturday evening), th ere are lots of interruptions and it is hard to keep my mind on "target". Hopefully, I will get it out on time, but just wanted everyone to know that it might be late getting published. Blue Skies and watch that aft CG or you may get a pain in the butt.

Blue Skies, Buz Buz, Don't know if this is suitable for the newsletter. I just replaced the ignition switch on N17EF again. I got the last one in Sept of 2008. Rough runner on the mag check but normal operation on both. Pete diagnosed the problem both times. These switches are PMA'd and should last longer. And the price has jumped, now $125 ($140 w/tax and shipping) from Spruce. I wonder if this has been a common problem? I'll be in Shelbyville next week for some help on some maint items and a BFR. I'll never learn all the EFIS features without some help.

Today they did move her via ambulance to a Health Care facility in northern Virginia near where she lives. Based on that I can now get back to work on the next newsletter and still hope to make my 1 July goal for publication on the various web sites. I am also starting preparation for my trip to Oshkosh. I plan to arrive there NLT 18 July and will be once again working in Vintage Aircraft Registration, but spending most of my work time on a Gator or golf cart meeting and greeting all Vintage aircraft. I usually get by the Lightning booth several times a day and spend some time there when I am not on duty. So hope to see many of you there.

Yes, I was elected the governor; been spending lots of time on selecting committee chairmen and organizing changes needed to our bylaws.
