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.

 I may be confused about the original purpose and intent of LML but  then
again, I'm confused by many things of late.
 As I recall, LML came into existence in order to be a sort of  clearinghouse
for builders to share building tips, techniques, problem  solving, etc... and
as an extension/supplement to factory technical  support.
 
 LML seems to me to be drifting wide of this mark and in danger of  losing its
relevance, to me anyway. Perhaps I'm one of only a few  still building and as
such, recent posts about FAA crud are of little  importance to me.

[Good points, Angier.... I've always tried to keep a very light hand on the LML, allowing the community to pretty much police itself.  As a more-or-less open venue, its focus tends to shift with the times.  It was a much different community back when I started the LML, one that was pretty much dominated by builders.  Over the years much of that building has resulted in completed aircraft and a change of focus for those folks who have moved from building to flying and maintaining.  This doesn't mean that we still don't have meaningful discussions about the former, just that they tend to be fewer and further between.  That being said, if you (and I mean that collectively here) would prefer that I start filtering the more "peripheral" discussions from the LML, I'd be happy to do so.  My concern is mostly about where to draw the line.  Let me think about it over the weekend, and if anyone else would like to chime in with suggestions or solutions to perceived problems, please feel free to contact me offline at my private email address, just so we don't clog the LML with a bunch of management issues that are better left in the back room.  Thanks to everyone for your continued support and participation... without you the LML would be an empty email box.  <Marv>   ]
