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.

Seems the simple way out that leaves the info available. My 2 pence- Thanks for the hard work.

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, Buz Rich In a message dated 8/21/2012 6:21:41 P.M.

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.
