After months and months of waiting, we get to see Ray's completion 

listing in Sept 2007 Kitplanes.  Why they can't just print the

completions as they come and get them out I may never know, but they

eventually get to them. Anyway, it's a proud moment to be able to show

the non-net world your photo Ray.  Enjoy!

Well, we're working down quite a backlog...but we're getting there.

Thanks Tim.  I was surprised when a few other friends of mine said they seen my plane in Kit Planes and all I could think of was wow, I sent that in 15 months ago.  Anyway, now I just need to get a copy as a keep-sake.



 



Thank You

What's the chance of just adding 12 pages of completions per

issue until it's caught up?  Seems that there were only a

handful of completions in most of the recent issues, so I can

see why a backlog develops.  But, without putting a bunch

of pages in there and just biting the bullet, I don't know

how it'll get caught up.  The completions are actually the

first thing I turn to, and one of the things I like the

most about the magazine.  It's great to see what and who

is flying out there. In Ray's case, he's flown to OSH 2 years

in a row before his came to print.

Interesting thought. Not sure I want to give up two or three full  

features, but I agree we need to work down that backlog faster than  

we have been. Part of the problem--and this will be familiar to  

anyone who has been in the magazine biz--is that Completions acts as  

an accordion section for us. When we receive last-minute ads, it's  

one of the places that can accommodate them easily. We have one or  

two other places for straggler ads but they're further forward in the  

book, and can require us to move a bunch of pages forward to make the  

change.

How would you--and, for that matter, the rest of the community here-- 

feel about this feature going to the web so that these entries are  

much more real time? Or is it just that much cooler to actually see  

your project on the page? You tell me.

I personally think having it in a magazine will get more exposure, by 

default, versus the web.. the web one would need to login, look for 

completions, versus the magazine; one is already looking through it and 

"completions" is another section one goes through. Also many of your readers 

don't use the web.

Magazine is a better option but that shouldn't stop the feature being added 

to the webpage as well.

Thanks for the question

I like the idea of both, but always look at the completion section in

the paper copy. I look forward to not just the RV's being completed but

all of the other interesting projects that are out there being built.

This is how I made the determination of the kit company, by the number

of actual planes being completed, of course Vans always shows up in

there the most, but several other companies are now being represented

and I would not have known about them without seeing them listed in that

section. 

I know we all like the web and how it is becoming ubiquitous for all the

information we need, but there is still something really cool about

seeing friends plans show up in a paper magazine.

	Definitely prefer to keep it in the magazine.  Also having it on the 

web is a great idea!

Nothing beats being "published" in the real world. Nothing like holding the 

pages in ones hand.

How about a special issue dedicated to completions and expanded coverage of 

some personal stories, and include everybody up till now that has not been 

published.



Oh, and thanks to all on the Andair valve discussion!

#40072 coming up on 4 years (as of 10/2007) of slowly but surely 

construction. Maybe I'll see my picture in a 2009 issue.

Why hurry its the road not the destination.

While it's always interesting to see what is being completed and by who, if it gives us another feature per issue I wouldn't mind going to the website to see completions.  Now if it makes space for more ads, no thanks.
