|
|
The recent Lightning message traffic about past newsletters being hard/impossible to download from the Arion Lightning web site got me thinking about looking into the possibility of having copies printed in booklet format and making those available to anyone interested. I remember many years ago having a booklet copy of all past International Aerobatic Club newsletters that were very helpful when I still had my Pitts Special (the first airplane I built - and flew for 29 years).
I just looked at all 36 issues of the Lightning newsletter that I wrote over a 3 year period (between Feb of 2008 until Jan of 2011) to get an idea of the magnitude of this possible project. Would you believe 923 pages or 963 pages if we included the index. I have no firm idea, but a project with that many pages might have to be in three booklets just based on the total number of pages to be bound together.
However, if there is enough interest in the Lightning community, I would be willing to talk to a printer that I am currently working with on another project (that involves 150 copies of a 137 page full color booklet) to get an idea of the cost of such a project on past Lightning newsletters. I have covered this idea with Nick and the thinks having hard copies of past newsletters would be a good idea. We would probably make them available through Arion and other Lightning dealers.
So please let me know if you would be interested in a booklet (or booklets) that would be copies of past Lightning newsletters. If there is enough interest I'll get an estimate from the printer and let everyone know the expected cost. Then we can decide if it would be worth the effort and cost. So drop me an email and let me know if you would be interested.
Blue Skies,
Buz Rich

Buz,
I am sure many folks would like a booklet version. I sent a copy of all of the missing newsletters, less Volume 4.7 to Nick so they can re-post on their website.
