To group,

Arion aircraft is working towards SLSA certification as most of you know. In order to sell E-LSA Lightning we must have a very detailed ASTM compliant build manual so a builder could in detail re-produce the original aircraft. This will also help with improving the build manual for amateur builder as well. With this in mind any one with helpful suggestions to the manual please email them directly to me at nick(at)flylightning.net (nick(at)flylightning.net)
We will be placing updates very regularly over the next few months to the original manual on the owners site. Section 20 has been posted today.

Hi Nick,

I have recorded a number of issues with the book on my build log at
http://www.recreationalflying.com.au/blogs/members/seal-1094/

Some of these have been fixed in recent updates, some are still there. If I get a chance today I will email you a summary, that's presuming I can get an email through, it seems to be a bit hit and miss recently.

An important point that needs attention is the version information in the manual. Sections are being updated but the "last update" date in the index is frequently not being changed. For example sections 20, 30 and 41 have been changed but the dates have not. There may well others which I have yet to discover.

The documents have page footers which pretend to have revision number and date information but these are not being updated when the documents are revised. This makes them both useless and misleading.

These inadequacies mean that the only way to check for manual updates is to download each section and compare against our printed copies. This is time consuming, prone to error and hardly an acceptable solution.

A couple of hours may be required to get these things in order but once done very little additional time will be required in the amendment process to maintain the information.
