				While at the recent Sebring LSA Expo show, Nick and Mark convinced me  to write another issue of the Lightning Newsletter (they are much too  busy for doing that task on a regular basis).  So I'm planning on  doing one more Lightning Newsletter sometime between now and Sun N  Fun.  I'll be covering the Lightning presence at the Sebring Light Sport  Expo, recent "factory" news and any other inputs I get from the current dealers  and email list readers.  So if you have something you would like included,  please send it directly to me at:
  N1BZRich(at)aol.com (N1BZRich(at)aol.com)
   
  I will use the same basic format that I used when I wrote the first 36  issues, but if anyone has other suggestions, I'll consider new things as  well.  Of course the same basic newsletter goal is just to get the word out  on anything involving the Lightning community.  Let me hear from you.
   
  Dealers, I especially would like updated inputs from all of you.   
  Builders and flyers, any tech tips, building suggestions or  flying stories would be greatly appreciated.  
   
  Blue Skies,
  Buz Rich

				Buz,
    
   You might want to do an article on the Spar Box Service Bulletin.  I'll send you pictures of mine and the new structure as soon as I get a chance.  I am going to begin disconnecting electronics today at lunch time.  I don't have a lot of time to work on it, but I'll get it done eventually.
    
   
    Have a wonderful day,

				Dennis,
      Good idea.  I look forward to getting your  photos and words on your new structure.  I will probably try to get the  issue completed near the end of February.

				I have had very few responses  (only two at this time) to this email  requesting inputs for another issue of the Lightning Newsletter.  So once  again, if you are building or flying a Lightning, I'd like to include your  "words of wisdom" or anything of interest that you might like to be  included.  Also, dealers, this is a chance for free advertising for your  dealership, so let us know what you have been up to.  Since both Greg and  Max were at Sebring, I certainly would like some inputs from them.  Max,  some photos of your and Olena's new baby girl would be great!!!!.  
   
  I will probably try to wrap up this issue near the end of Feb and get it  out near the middle of March, so plan on using 1 March as a deadline.
  Blue Skies,
  Buz

 I'll send you some pics from the Melendez Skunk Works later. I think you'll like my "Messing with a perfectly good design" stuff. Hee hee.

				Hey Buz: I had submitted a couple items to Mark last year. He may have them  in his computer. With my terrific memory (Ha!) I do not at this moment remember  what they were.

				Hi Buz,  How about some  inside information on the new  horizontal stabilizer. I have been very  interested in the concept since I first
  learned of it’s existence.  All in the interest of making a good thing  better!  How much and when.  Bob Haas, kit 71 N330BH.

      Dealers, I especially would like updated inputs from all of you.       
      Builders and flyers, any tech tips, building suggestions or      flying stories would be greatly appreciated.

				Buz,there have been many running changes to the kit/building process , a review  covering what,why,and how could help the fleet be current with the latest and greatest.Also,has anyone solved the landing gear shimmy issue;if yes,then how. Can you share any info on the anti-turbulence /smooth ride  development program you have been working on. The Lightning has attracted many high time professional pilots,could they contribute some lessons learned related to the Lightning operation or general experiences for safer flying.Experimental aircraft is about "experimenting",could we get these brave souls to  share what they have tried ,what worked and what didn't and why. Go fast less gas has to be tops on everyone's list,what real results are beaning achieved on items such as the Hackman,electronic fuel injection,mechanical injection,props,gap seals,the least drag wheel pants etc. Going places,more contributions from the owners covering trip planning,getting there,and the destination.   Thanks for all you do,Charles

         I have had very few responses  (only two at this time) to this email  requesting inputs for another issue of the Lightning Newsletter.  So once  again, if you are building or flying a Lightning, I'd like to include your  "words of wisdom" or anything of interest that you might like to be  included.  Also, dealers, this is a chance for free advertising for your  dealership, so let us know what you have been up to.  Since both Greg and  Max were at Sebring, I certainly would like some inputs from them.  Max,  some photos of your and Olena's new baby girl would be great!!!!.  
   
  I will probably try to wrap up this issue near the end of Feb and get it  out near the middle of March, so plan on using 1 March as a deadline.
  Blue Skies,
  Buz

				Hi Charles (and all other Lightning community members),
      Good suggestions.  I'll provide a  limited update (it is still a proprietary program) on the Active Ride  Improvement System, and will send the other suggestions to the factory  guys.  I agree that an overall update on the Lightning changes like Nick  provided at the October Homecoming would be good.  And of course it is  always good to have inputs from any Lightning builder of flyer.   
      Please remember that when I put the past  newsletters (and this one) together, I am mostly an editor or publisher and  depend on the readers to provide the articles.  If I had a  magazine "staff" of writers it would be much easier, but putting out  the newsletter is a voluntary job, so I'm limited on the amount of  time I can devote to it.  Even though it is a time consuming endeavor, it  is rewarding as well. 
      If someone would agree to take over the newsletter  on a permanent basis then I feel certain the inputs from readers, builders and  flyers would again start coming in without too many reminders, but since there  has been no issue for a year, I'm having to "beg" for inputs at this time.   The next issue is starting to come together and my goal is still to get it  published before Sun N Fun.
      But what we really need is someone to take on the  newsletter task on a regular basis.  So how about it, do we have someone  out there that wants to become "a famous aviation writer, editor and  publisher"?  Here is your chance.  Volunteer to become the next  Lightning Newsletter Boss.  You will get a chance to meet lots of  interesting people, travel to exotic places, make lots of money, meet  beautiful people, and have all your other "imaginary dreams" come true.   What a deal.  Volunteer now.
  Blue Skies,
 Buz

				Hi Bernardo,
      El Markus has forwarded some of the items  you sent to him during the past year.  I'll plan to use most, if  not all, in the upcoming issue.  Thanks for all your help and inputs.

      Hi Charles (and all other Lightning community members),
      Good suggestions.  I'll provide a  limited update (it is still a proprietary program) on the Active Ride  Improvement System, and will send the other suggestions to the factory  guys.  I agree that an overall update on the Lightning changes like Nick  provided at the October Homecoming would be good.  And of course it is  always good to have inputs from any Lightning builder of flyer.   
      Please remember that when I put the past  newsletters (and this one) together, I am mostly an editor or publisher and  depend on the readers to provide the articles.  If I had a  magazine "staff" of writers it would be much easier, but putting out  the newsletter is a voluntary job, so I'm limited on the amount of  time I can devote to it.  Even though it is a time consuming endeavor, it  is rewarding as well. 
      If someone would agree to take over the newsletter  on a permanent basis then I feel certain the inputs from readers, builders and  flyers would again start coming in without too many reminders, but since there  has been no issue for a year, I'm having to "beg" for inputs at this time.   The next issue is starting to come together and my goal is still to get it  published before Sun N Fun.
      But what we really need is someone to take on the  newsletter task on a regular basis.  So how about it, do we have someone  out there that wants to become "a famous aviation writer, editor and  publisher"?  Here is your chance.  Volunteer to become the next  Lightning Newsletter Boss.  You will get a chance to meet lots of  interesting people, travel to exotic places, make lots of money, meet  beautiful people, and have all your other "imaginary dreams" come true.   What a deal.  Volunteer now.
  Blue Skies,
 Buz

          I have had very few responses  (only two at this time) to this email    requesting inputs for another issue of the Lightning Newsletter.  So once    again, if you are building or flying a Lightning, I'd like to include your    "words of wisdom" or anything of interest that you might like to be    included.  Also, dealers, this is a chance for free advertising for your    dealership, so let us know what you have been up to.  Since both Greg and    Max were at Sebring, I certainly would like some inputs from them.  Max,    some photos of your and Olena's new baby girl would be great!!!!.  
     
    I will probably try to wrap up this issue near the end of Feb and get it    out near the middle of March, so plan on using 1 March as a deadline.
    Blue Skies,
    Buz

				Hi Gary,
      I do have one article from you on tie-downs that  Mark sent to me and I will plan on including it in the issue I'm working  on.  I sure hope your hospital stay is quick and that whatever is the cause  will soon be taken care of.  We need you back in the air ASAP.  
  Thanks and Blue Skies,
  Buz

 I also submitted several articles to Mark for the    newsletter. They were written up with pictures.Check with him to see if he    still has them.  I would do that myself but I am in the hospital and    will be for another week.  good luck with the    newsletter.  Gary SN133 N335AL

 Thanks,  I came home today but will not be recovered fully for another five weeks.  I mothballed N3335AL before I went in so it should be OK.  Thanks again Gary

The next issue is starting to come together and my goal is still to get it  published before Sun N Fun.
      But what we really need is someone to take on the  newsletter task on a regular basis.  So how about it, do we have someone  out there that wants to become "a famous aviation writer, editor and  publisher"?  Here is your chance.  Volunteer to become the next  Lightning Newsletter Boss.  You will get a chance to meet lots of  interesting people, travel to exotic places, make lots of money, meet  beautiful people, and have all your other "imaginary dreams" come true.   What a deal.  Volunteer now.
  Blue Skies,
 Buz

   	  | Quote: | 	 		        Buz,there have been many running changes to the kit/building    process , a review  covering what,why,and how could help the fleet be    current with the latest and greatest.Also,has anyone solved the landing gear    shimmy issue;if yes,then how. Can you share any info on the anti-turbulence /smooth    ride  development program you have been working on. The Lightning    has attracted many high time professional pilots,could they contribute    some lessons learned related to the Lightning operation or general experiences    for safer flying.Experimental aircraft is about "experimenting",could we get these brave    souls to share what they have tried ,what worked and what didn't and    why. Go fast less gas has to be tops on everyone's list,what real results    are beaning achieved on items such as    the Hackman,electronic fuel injection,mechanical injection,props,gap seals,the    least drag wheel pants etc. Going places,more contributions from the    owners covering trip planning,getting there,and the    destination.   Thanks for all you do,Charles

 Subject: Re:    Another Lightning Newsletter issue
          I have had very few responses  (only two at this time) to this email    requesting inputs for another issue of the Lightning Newsletter.  So once    again, if you are building or flying a Lightning, I'd like to include your    "words of wisdom" or anything of interest that you might like to be    included.  Also, dealers, this is a chance for free advertising for your    dealership, so let us know what you have been up to.  Since both Greg and    Max were at Sebring, I certainly would like some inputs from them.  Max,    some photos of your and Olena's new baby girl would be great!!!!.  
     
    I will probably try to wrap up this issue near the end of Feb and get it    out near the middle of March, so plan on using 1 March as a deadline.
    Blue Skies,
    Buz

     	  | Quote: | 	 		       While at the recent Sebring LSA Expo show, Nick and Mark convinced me      to write another issue of the Lightning Newsletter (they are much      too busy for doing that task on a regular basis).  So I'm planning      on doing one more Lightning Newsletter sometime between now and      Sun N Fun.  I'll be covering the Lightning presence at the Sebring      Light Sport Expo, recent "factory" news and any other inputs I get from the      current dealers and email list readers.  So if you have something you      would like included, please send it directly to me at:
      N1BZRich(at)aol.com (N1BZRich(at)aol.com)
       
      I will use the same basic format that I used when I wrote the first 36      issues, but if anyone has other suggestions, I'll consider new things as      well.  Of course the same basic newsletter goal is just to get the word      out on anything involving the Lightning community.  Let me hear from      you.
       
      Dealers, I especially would like updated inputs from all of you.       
      Builders and flyers, any tech tips, building suggestions or      flying stories would be greatly appreciated.  
       
      Blue Skies,
      Buz Rich
