Hi Doug,

I certainly apologize if my newbie post conveys any disappointment on my part.  This is a great resource. 

I believe that I read that you felt that you might move away from maintaining the site, but looking thru just now, I don’t see it. Am I wrong about this?

It appears to me that this email based message system is harder to manage than a board already dedicated to building experimental aircraft such as HomebuiltAirplanes.com. A page on that site would archive building issues for one plane and it’s build logs. 

I hope to continue to exchange information with builders in the future and hope it will lead to finishing and flying this plane one day. 

Jon
