All,
Sorry to take so long to send out the results on the recent survey on the length of the newsletter. The weather has been great here and I have been catching up on some flying and attending several EAA chapter activities at local airports.
Basically the feedback to the question of the newsletter length indicated that most readers think that there is no reason to limit the length. I think "World Record Earl" said it best with his short and to the point comment: "Make it as long as you have interesting articles to put in." Besides, the "postage" is the same whether it is a 6 page newsletter or a 29 page magazine. Subscription cost is also the same. So just read that part that interest you, but as someone wisely mentioned, different readers will be interested in different articles. Well said.
Now having said that, here are what will be the "rules of engagements" for future issues. Goals for the newsletter remain:
-to provide information on happenings at Arion
-to provide information from Arion dealers
-to give a voice to Lightning builders and flyers
-to provide information on building and flying the Lightning from builders, flyers, and the "factory"
-and as in the past, I will attempt to keep the newsletter both informative and enjoyable to read. So you may still have to put up with my occasional attempts at humor.
-One main change from the past will be that I will not include any "Matronics Lightning list" emails unless they have a potential use for future builders (for example tech tips type of info). So if you send something out to the list, I see no need to include it in a future newsletter unless the info might be potentially helpful to future builders.
Weather permitting, I will probably be heading to SYI early this week to help the "team" in any way I can to get the new SLSA Lightning LS-1 ready for Sun N Fun. I will be finishing up the next issue while I am there so hopefully it will have some up to date photos of N325AL. Then, see you at SNF.
Blue Skies,
Buz
