BUZ,
Again thanks for all the work on the newsletters all these
years and I would be in line for a hard copy also. But I think having a
reliable web site with the letters is more than sufficient. How we
handle that I dont know. Missed you among all the Cubs at Oshkosh. Hope
to see you at another flyin sometime. Tex

Nick,
We were talking about the newsletters on line and I
think the updates to the builders manual is just as important. I have
one of the first kits and rely on the builders manual to see what
changes have been made and to determined if I need to update any of
those changes on my airplane. When an improvement has been incorporated,
a note in the newsletter would be very helpful.

I am seconding Tex's comments. I am still in the process of building
one of the earlier kits and need to reference the build manual and any
updates that are available. I would like very much to incorporate as
many updates to the design as possible. Also, the newsletters are a
rich source of information for builders and owners. I didn't download
each edition because I thought they would always be available on line.
Without taking anything away from Buz's offer, my personal preference
would be an online availability of the build manual and newsletters.
Updated information might take some of the load off technical support at
Lightning Central, although I do realize it is often easier to call or
shoot off a quick email than to look it up. Watch out Nick! Now that
I'm working on my project again and stuck out here in the lonely
Northwest, I'm compiling a list of questions.
Kind regards,
Steve Sundquist

Tex,
Correct and noted. All links to the newsletters were updated this morning
and are working. I am running thru the build manual as we speak and should
have that finished in the next day or so.
Thanks

Subject: Lightning-List: Lightning newsletters - booklet copies.
The recent Lightning message traffic about past newsletters being
hard/impossible to download from the Arion Lightning web site got me
thinking about looking into the possibility of having copies printed in
booklet format and making those available to anyone interested. I
remember many years ago having a booklet copy of all past International
Aerobatic Club newsletters that were very helpful when I still had my
Pitts Special (the first airplane I built - and flew for 29 years).
I just looked at all 36 issues of the Lightning newsletter that I wrote
over a 3 year period (between Feb of 2008 until Jan of 2011) to get an
idea of the magnitude of this possible project. Would you believe 923
pages or 963 pages if we included the index. I have no firm idea, but a
project with that many pages might have to be in three booklets just
based on the total number of pages to be bound together.
However, if there is enough interest in the Lightning community, I would
be willing to talk to a printer that I am currently working with on
another project (that involves 150 copies of a 137 page full color
booklet) to get an idea of the cost of such a project on past Lightning
newsletters. I have covered this idea with Nick and the thinks having
hard copies of past newsletters would be a good idea. We would probably
make them available through Arion and other Lightning dealers.
So please let me know if you would be interested in a booklet (or
booklets) that would be copies of past Lightning newsletters. If there
is enough interest I'll get an estimate from the printer and let
everyone know the expected cost. Then we can decide if it would be worth
the effort and cost. So drop me an email and let me know if you would be
interested.
Blue Skies,
Buz Rich

Nick, Mark, etc.
I just looked at the firewall forward pictures and read the narrative
included with each one on your Facebook page. Just what I wanted to
see! It really helps to see what works, how to do it and the
descriptions add helpful hints without needing to make all the learning
mistakes yourself. I hope it is easy to add to that page because it
will be an invaluable tool to builders and prospective buyers alike.
Great work,
Steve Sundquist
