the SCFLIER FORUM Membership total is growing ! We now have over 200 members in the SCFLER FORUM ! A strong WELCOME to all the new SCFLIER FORUM members and new SportCruiser aircraft owners and Pilots ! The best way to get involved in SCFLIER is to post a topic of interest to you, and then responses from our Membership will help provide useful information and learning opportunities and great discussion about our awesome CRUZ aircraft. I recommend that all new members, and also our SCFLIER members who have been with us for years, to increase their rate of participation. It is easy to do, and worth your time. The only "RULES" are: 0) please follow the lead of our many "repeat" members who post a lot of information on SCFLIER. The vast majority of SCFLIER postings are friendly, informative, and either stating an honest opinion on "how things work", an idea about something they have learned about our SportCruiser aircraft, or perhaps a question on a maintenance issue, a Comment on a part they may need to make a repair, or perhaps some item they want to sell or buy. There are Lots of great examples of friendly information postings out there right now ! 1) treat other member's ideas, questions, and new topics with RESPECT. We can all learn from each other and the power of the FORUM is the combined experiences of MANY CRUZ aircraft owners and Pilots. 2) no "FLAMING". I.e., just because you may NOT AGREE with another Member's idea, that doesn't give you the right to be rude, disrespectful, or judgmental about their different ideas. 3) respect and courtesy to differing opinions will get us a lot farther in learning new ideas than responding with negative "flaming" comments 4) no offensive or political or inappropriate postings. We really haven't had any of these, and I as the SCFLIER ADMIN want to keep our FORUM Professional, friendly, and upbeat. Our discussion topics should relate directly to the CRUZ SportCruiser/PiperSport/PS-28 AIRCRAFT. If you want to talk politics or ....., please use your Facebook accounts. Please Don't post topics unrelated to SportCruisers here. 5) although it is easy to do, try not to drift off the ORIGINAL topic of a Member's Posting. If a NEW, UNRELATED IDEA, comes up in response to an original posting, THAT CAN BE GREAT, but sometimes it is better to simply start a new topic and then let the ideas and responses flow on that new topic area "over there" rather than drifting off the first topic question or idea. 6) please use the excellent "OUTLINE" of categories that were set up by our original SCFLIER ADMIN, Dave F. By that I mean, look through the topic areas first, and try to fit your new topic or idea into the outline existing. There are three main areas GENERAL DISCUSSION AVIONICS and MAINTENANCE Each of these main areas already have lots of subtopics, such as Fly-Ins, ADS-B, And Rotax engine just to highlight a few. If you have an AVIONICS topic, then look for your topic, and add to an existing topic posting. Or, "Start a new topic" there in AVIONICS if it is a totally new AVIONICS idea. Also, if you have a comment on SportCruiser "SOFTWARE", then please post it under the AVIONICS area, and then the "SOFTWARE UPDATES" subtopics area and finally BELOW That, there is a large subtopic area covering DYNON SOFTWARE since that is a large percentage of our AVIONICS equipment. Under "DYNON" , there are subtopics for the Legacy D-100/120 equipment, as well as Skyview. Then, back up one level from the big "DYNON" SOFTWARE area, further down below are individual software headings covering GARMIN, ForeFlight, Navworx, ipad/iPhone operating system updates, etc. Please use areas already set up the existing AVIONICS/SOFTWARE UPDATES outline so we can stay organized. Makes finding postings easier later if we stick to the outline. Elsewhere on the SCFLIER FORUM, There are existing topic areas for ROTAX engine, FLYING TECHNIQUES, FOR SALE OR WANT TO BUY, and many more areas of interest. If your topic doesn't seem to fit one of the existing topic areas, the "Random Thoughts" posting area might be a good fit. If you have a suggestion for a better "outline structure", please contact me at SCFLIERADM@yahoo.com and I'll see if I can update our structure outline to help. and, you can use the GALLERY, MEMBER ALBUMS photo images area to post photos you take while flying, photos of a maintenance procedure in work, photos of a part on the aircraft for discussion, or just images Taken flying over great scenery,..... click on "GALLERY", then "MEMBER ALBUMS" up at the top of the Gallery area to see what images other SCFLIER Members have posted. There are some great images out there ! And, In any Posting, you can use the "more reply options" button and use the full editor so you can attach images from your computer or iPad photo library to the posting. Pictures often make it easier to uunderstand a new topic. To see what is happening out there, click on the "View New Content" button up near the top of the main SCFLIER FORUM, over by the "search entry box". Then set it to look for new topics posted in the last day, week, or month to suit your needs. THANKS AGAIN to all our new members ! I believe that we all should WELCOME the NEW MEMBERS to increase our SCFLIER topic discussion postings, so that we all can learn from each other ! And THANK YOU to our existing "repeat posting Members" !!! Your great topics and discussion makes this a very friendly forum to participate in. Take care everyone and bring on the NEW INTERESTING topics, questions, and IDEAS related to our fine SportCruiser aircraft ! Dave SCFLIER ADMIN
