The requirement of a password is –
well frankly – a PIA. I’ve reset mine more than once. It’s
not important from a safety/privacy point of view IMHO but adds to the
complexity of just getting information about Lancair stuff. I guess having
passwords etal keep spammers from emails to all Lancairians. AND, to help, the
system apparently remembers the last passwords and ids you used. Saying that,
the ID is wrong so I have to change that to login. When I try to change my id,
something changes back to the wrong one. So I change my id and password in the
boxes, I’m in!
The fact you can find things about your
particular aircraft is good. But seeing over the years all that is said about
the fleet of Lancair types is very helpful because problems in the fleet is not
just with your type but perhaps endemic with all types. Autopilots, bellmouth
intakes, tank sealer, tire issues, static ports and the list goes on for
hundreds.
It’s a nice site, commercial looking,
and terrific if you are looking at your type only or have a specific subject to
look for … searching is certainly improved although when I made a search
of bellmouth, nothing came up – maybe there weren’t any. But
searching Evolution did show a bunch of hits.
Obviously I don’t use it much as I just
want my email.

update
I find it a bit of a pain to use: keeps asking me for a
username/password combo every time I try to enter (which means I have to drag
out my list of 300 passwords to look up). I have gotten used to the mail posts
over the years. The new site might be great once you get in there, but for me
it is "out of sight, out of mind." Perhaps I am doing something
wrong...

How much is the traffic divided between
this list and the new site?
I’ve recently gone over to the new
site and it is way better. The bulletin board layout is far better suited to
what we need than a mailing list (imho). This is especially so if a post
contains photos or documents.
I have however posted over there about a
worrying problem with apparent fuel vapour in one of my wings and not yet had
any replies. Maybe it is early days, it is less than 24 hours, but if anyone is
interested, the post is here:
Or should I repeat the post here?

Hello my fellow LML'rs....
Many of you have moved over to the new
site and Paul was swamped
for awhile but has now caught up again. We reached a new high of 56 users
online
yesterday and there are some terrific photos being uploaded and I invite you
to upload a pic of your project and yourself to introduce yourself (again), if
you haven't done so already.
User names on the new site are your real name. So, my name is "Marv
Kaye"
and Paul's login name is "Paul Miller". If you forget
your user name try
your real name and your password can be reset online. If you have
any
problems write admin@lancairtalk.net
and Paul will take care of the new site
while I continue to work with the LML for as long as required to get the
changeover completed. If you haven't switched yet just send your first
& last name to admin@lancairtalk.net
along with your type of Lancair (guests and vendors welcome too). You
will receive an email from Paul with the login details. We
have 260 switched so far and about 520 more to go so keep up the good work.
Thanks to all of you......
<Marv>
