| Subject: | Lightning Newsletter Booklets |
A week or so ago I sent a message to the group asking if there was any
interest in having published booklets or "hard copies" of all the past
Lightning newsletters. I thought this might be a helpful thing to have based
on
the numerous times I used a similar product on aerobatics when I was building
and flying my Pitts Special. It was always good to have the info
available to refer to in the hangar while I was working on the Pitts or getting
ready to go practice a new sequence.
Several Lightning builders responded that they would like to have this type
of resource available, so I have been working with a printer in NC that I
have worked with before when I needed booklets published in quantity.
Anyway, if we printed all Lightning newsletters from day one (Feb 2008) to the
most current one (Jan/Feb 2012) the project would be well over 1000 pages
and would likely take a total of four booklets or one for 2008, 2009, 2010,
and 2011/2012. Unfortunately, that would be pretty expensive. Likely at
least $150 for all four booklets. It could be more depending on how many
folks order the books.
Based on the above, I'm thinking I will just drop the project as the cost
is quite a bit more than I expected it to be. If you disagree, let me
know.

Can't the Lightning folks just archive your booklet form for folks to
download and get printed on there own? Seems the simple way out that
leaves the info available.
My 2 pence- Thanks for the hard work.

Larry, all the past newsletters are currently on the Arion Lightning web
site. You can read them there or copy each one as desired. The though,
while their web site was having problems, was that it might be useful to have
all of them available "in the hangar" so you could refer to them when
needed. That all..... maybe solving a problem that really doesn't exist.
Blue Skies,

Hi Buz,
You're right. I don't think builders really have to have hard, printed copi
es, however nice that might be, as long as the newsletters and all chapters
of the builder's manual are available and IF we can open the files to prin
t them.
Many thanks for your hard work in producing the newsletters for the first t
hree years.
Regards,
Bernardo
