Pierce) Subject: COZY: Archives While reading through the archives on chapter 6 to make a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) for Marc's web page, I discovered something. Get this, all the dumb questions I have been asking were there. Can you belive it? Just like Marc tells us. From now on I am going to read the archives on the chapter I'm on before I start the work. I know that sometimes we have a quick question and it is easier to ask the group here, than it is to read throgh 50+ e-mail messages from the archives. But by reading the archives before you even start the chapter can make you aware of problems other people had so you don't make the same mistakes or ask the same questions. But what real blew me away was, seeing that even an awesome and very intelligent plane builder like Marc Z. was asking some of the same questions I was just two and half years ago. So if in 2.5 years I know even half of what Marc knows about Cozys I will be very happy. Thanks again Marc for this group, the archives and the web page. I know it takes you a lot of time to do this. But man is it helpful!! I willing to bet that we have the best support group for aircraft building anywhere. -- Terry Pierce mailto:tpierce@ghg.net Cozy Mark IV #600 Date: Wed, 22 Oct 1997 14:35:05 -0400 From: bil kleb Organization: NASA Langley Research Center Subject: Re: COZY: Archives Terence J.
