From: "N111KX (Kip)" --> Lightning-List message posted by: "N111KX (Kip)" Buz, I took a demo flight in that plane. Perhaps he needed a bit more instruction. I found the info on the FAA preliminary incident site. It is updated daily and shows all incidents and accidents. It's usually a list of daily gear up landings. I'd offer a link but I am at work and it's at home. Regards, Kip [quote="N1BZRich(at)AOL.COM"]Hi Kip, I don't know anything about the incident, but 424EA is the hybrid Lightning (Esqual fuselage with the Lightning wing and 80 HP engine). It had been just recently sold to a guy from Crossville.? I gave the new owner some stick time in my Esqual and it was obvious he would need a thorough review before soloing his new airplane. The new buyer had not flown much recently and needed more instruction than Nick could give to get him ready to solo 424EA. Nick flew with him several times at Shelbyville, but an instructor from Crossville was to complete the checkout. How did you find about this recent incident?

The Preliminary Accident Data is usually pretty sketchy but the first place you will find out about an accident.
