  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

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.
Bryan
