Did you ever get done using my AIAA book on flight testing? I'm going to need to reference a few things soon in there so whenever you could get that back to me it would be appreciated. Thanks, Brian W. _________________________________________________________________ Get FREE Web site and company branded e-mail from Microsoft Office Live ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 10:49:06 AM PST US From: N1BZRich@AOL.COM Subject: Lightning-List: Lightning projects - updates Hey all you guys (and gals) building Lightnings (and those now flying), how about updates on your projects. I kept you guys informed when 31BZ was going together and in the test flying phase, so how about some of the same from you. I am sure there are lots of people out there that just need a little encouragement on a regular basis to get to work on their projects or perhaps to make the final decision to get on the order list. Surely some of you can type. :-) So check in with your N number or kit serial number and give us all an update on your progress, thoughts, or suggestions. Liven up this list.

Williams" Subject: Re: Lightning-List: Lightning projects - updates Thanks, Buz! I'm leaning towards a Lightning. I want to know more, from other builders, about their experience with the company and plane. I understand that Linda's plane is in the paint shop this week and that her panel is almost ready for installation. I hope to go to Shelbyville around the end of February for a personal look - see.

I now have a Bonanza and an Ercoupe. I am looking for info on how others are doing on their projects, and how they like the airplane. Lynn Nelsen ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 07:25:16 PM PST US From: N1BZRich@AOL.COM Subject: Re: Lightning-List: Lightning projects - updates Lynn and John, At least we know there are a few of us on the list today. Hopefully more will check in soon and provide updates on their projects. Both of you mentioned thinking about building a Lightning and I would certainly encourage you to do that. If you want a great looking, great flying, fast flying and quick to build airplane that is inexpensive to buy and inexpensive to operate, then the Lightning should be high on your list. Lynn, I would assume from your e-mail address you have an S model Bonanza. Great airplane. I had an M-35 for 15 years or so (past Oshkosh and Sun-N-Fun champ), but when it sold I replaced it with my Esqual LS (Lightning stuff - hybrid). Fuel cost went way down. I still have my J-3 Cub, but have sold my S1S Pitts that I had for 29 years. I just was not flying it enough since I finished the Esqual. And as much as I love my Esqual, the Lightning is a better airplane. You will love it.
