All,
Just to confirm for everyone, the latest Lightning Newsletter, issue 2-3 for March 2009 in now posted at both web sites. The Lightning factory site is: http://www.flylightning.net/
And Jim Langley's site is: http://www.jimslightning.com/html/home.html
I hope you find this issue both informative and helpful, and at the same time enjoyable and fun to read. I know I may be beating a dead horse, but once again I am pleading for feedback. Hey guys, I just want to make sure it meets your needs and IF you take the time to provide some suggestions and feedback, then hopefully I can improve it. Does anyone read it? Is anyone reading this? Am I alone on this planet? What planet is this? Hey tower, how do you read me?
And along the line of improvements, one thing that I have been thinking about doing is developing an index for all the past newsletters. With a detailed index, if someone wanted to go back and re-read a past article or to see if there had been a past article on some subject (say a technical tip on widgets) they could just "click" on the index and see if there was an article on what ever subject. The index would tell you what issue to look in and on what page. I can see this being a useful tool, especially years from now when there have been several years worth of issues. Now that I have mentioned the above idea, what I am looking for is a volunteer to join the Lightning Newsletter staff (you will be the CEO of indexing) and develop the initial index and then keep it updated on a monthly basis. By the way, the newsletter is an equal opportunity employer and your pay will be equal to mine and Linda's.
Blue Skies,
Buz

Buz,
I’m rather new to the list. I do not own a Lighting, although I have considered it. I think you are doing a great job with the newsletter. Getting input from readers is very hard. People want the info, but few bother to give input or articles. As time goes on and the number of Lightings grow, this will change. I think the indexing of the articles is a great idea, but I do not know how to do that. Maybe a Google tool could be used—much like the tool you can use on your desktop to search your computer. If so this could be pretty simple.
Keep up the great work.
Hollis

Hi Hollis,
Thanks for the kind words about the newsletter. I had not thought about a search type index, but if some computer whiz guy can get that to work, it would be super. My initial idea was just to write up a alphabetical list of all newsletter topics showing which issue and what page each is on. Lots of initial work, but pretty easy to keep it up to date as each new issue comes out. After it was available it would just be part of the newsletter list where a person could click on it and look for the topic or subject he was looking for in the index, then go to that issue. But as I said, your idea is better.

Jim,
Thanks for the kind words but Buz is way too modest; my effort only takes a few hours one evening a month. He entreats, collects, organizes, writes, and performs a myriad of duties required to create a great newsletter every month. He does it all because of his tremendous passion for general aviation and his love of the Lightning. I believe that a good portion of the Lightning's success has to be attributed to Buz'
dedication to the cause and his eagerness to share that passion with others.
Linda

Hi Buz
Look forward to reading lightning Newsletter every month, as it Is informative and gives personal views on How, What and Where. General Tips on how others have accomplished their Builds with Modifications I find very interesting. I pick up on these, and apply to my build. I like the Technical and Modification information the most as it stimulates me to incorporate a better idea (this has Slowed down the Build as I modify, but I would not be happy if modifications were not done). Mod Peter D received his Kit with mine. and I have been amazed (go and check his jet regularly) at his ability to think outside of the square.Several other builders also show this ability from published articles shown in the Newsletter (what a diverse lot we are). As my build proceeds (slow currently due to work and time restraints) I refer to articals you have written on various aspects of building and flying the Lightning as a guide to what can be accomplished, and have this to look forward to. Your efforts are appreciated.
