I'm a bit reluctant to suggest building
tips- there seem to be a lot of people on the list with very impressive
credentials. The things I come up with seem pretty simple-minded and basic at
times. They may be valuable to some but who knows? I figure we all bring
different experiences to the group so the way I may look at things will be
different than others, for better or worse. My knowledge comes from working
on a limited number of planes, not classroom study. As a result my knowledge is
spotty but I'm pretty good at figuring things out. I'd like to feel I can make
suggestions or even wild ass guesses (if they're identified as
such) without being considered an idiot. That's a part of learning. This
group seems to discourage speculation though. Am I wrong?
OTOH when I ask a technical question on
building I get silence as often as not. Is that due to lack of expertise in
the group (I doubt it) or not wanting to give advice that might cause problems
later?
That's my whine and I'm sticking to
it. -Bill Wade

Subject: [LML] Re: LML
Angier,
I agree. It seems like there isn't much happening on the LML as far
build discussions. You can still get answers to some but really seems
like not much activity for, what I thought to be a fairly large amount of
aircraft kits out there.
Anyone know how many Lancair kits have been sold since the
inception?
Lancair builders and owners are either:
1. Going extinct or:
2. People who fly and build Lancairs don't care to have any web presence.
Which will eventually lead Lancair to item 1 in this age..
Soon its going to be a world where experiment airplane is defined as an
RV.
Thats my Wahhh wahhh wahh viewpoint of the day.
