Richard Lamb and the Texas Parasol Plans ...and Sirius Aviation
How-DEE! All'a ya'll pudknockers (and the few prime pilots too :^).
First: Copping a quote from Twain, "the news of my death has been greatly exaggerated". Yes, I had surgery to remove a bladder tumor, but the tumor was not malignant (and THAT is GOOD news!) No kemo or rads required. But I have given up smoking (believe it or not) and for good. Sometimes you just gotta decide what you want most... Another cigarette, or to go on living a while longer? And, yes, I've sold the house at Zuehl field. While I'll admit missing my (1450 sq ft!!) shop, I don't miss the Property Owners Association problems at all. Texas Parasol Plans: Ted (Sirius Aviation) is only two years behind on royalties. Last time I talked to him he was "going to get caught up real soon now". But that isn't going to happen - ever. Man, I don't know how a person can screw it up so bad and still pretend to be in business. Best advice I can offer is not to waste your time or money on Sirius. But there still are people asking for plans. I know, because I hear from them when Ted takes their money and won't send what they bought. So... I've put the plans for the plane on CD(R) (in PDF format), along with the old web page (greatly expanded!) and filled the rest of the disk with all the construction pics and tips I could fit on it (about 600 MB total content). The CD is available (from me) for $30. Just drop a note to me at for details (or just to say hi? I'd love to hear from old friends.) Take care, Richard aka: Richard (the Saber Tooth Cave) Lamb |

Patrick student SPL aircraft structural mech Thanks, Patrick. But I'm not going to get all balled up in it. Get my medical reinstated now and go conjigate the verb "to fly"! I Fly, You Fly, He, She, or It - Flies... It's what mammals do (sometimes?) Richard Learning from your own mistakes is called "experience". Learning from other people's mistakes is called "wisdom". |

Thanks Neal ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- is the correst address, Neal. I'm getting outside email, so I think it's working ok. But looking back up the thread (I'm posting via Google) it looks like somebody (googlish) has mangled all the email addresses. (?) Let me try it this way... c a v e l a m b (at) y a h o o (dot) c o m Did that help? Richard |

For a few months now, Google _has_ been mangling all addresses, WHEN READ ON GOOGLE. messages -sent- via google, when read "somewhere else", do not have the mangled addresses you see when reading USENET via google. |

For a while you could use the 'Display in Original Format' to see the email addresse,then they began munging that too. But just in the past two weeks Google has addeda afeature for de-munging email addesses found in the body of an article. The elipsis '...' is a link. Clicking on it takes you to a page where you can view some random text in an image and type it into a window to demung the email address. -- FF |
