We'll always have to fight with sites being down which is why the hard copy is valuable. I still value having paper in my hands, I can't read a book on a Kindle or tablet as satisfyingly as an actual book. Hard to think they (books and newspapers) be museum pieces only someday. Anyway have you looked at the volume of just technical stuff compared to the a reprint of the entire newsletter? I'd expect you could reduce the number of pages significantly. If I recall correctly your newsletters had a fair amount of "rich" content (stories and the like) in addition to the technical. That or organize by the technical stuff by systems so you don't have to worry about having the right years printed. Could be as simple as airframe and engine or be divided into smaller categories. Just food for thought... Stay well my friend- Larry On 8/21/2012 6:59 PM, N1BZRich@AOL.COM wrote: > Larry, all the past newsletters are currently on the Arion Lightning > web site.

Section 11 is revised. Section 11A is a supplement to that and is added as an aid. This is something we use in house when building the LS1 and should be used in conjunction with the build manual. All sections being revised will have current dates next to them. Just because the date hasn't changed on the web in 2 years doesn't mean the section is not applicable.
