I have just become aware of the Lightning and like the look/ performance numbers. I was thinking of building an RV but now the jury is out. Time will tell. In March I will be in Melbourne, Australia for the Avalon Airshow and was I wondering. do you know if anyone will be showing the Lightning there?

I have a lightning kit coming soon. It will be a few more months before any fly in Australia. But you might see an Esqual or two there at Avalon.

Let's get all the flying Shelbyville Lightnings in the mix. Earl ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 12:18:18 PM PST US From: nick otterback Subject: Re: Lightning-List: Re: video Brian.. Earl has also shown intrest in flying for the video and he is only in atlanta......his is also light sport compliant and is configured differantly and may make for some good shots too.. nick N1BZRich@aol.com wrote: Brian, Hopefully you are running all of this by Nick and Pete. I feel confident that they will want this video for future marketing. I can envision the video running continually at their booth at OSH or LAL. At small fly ins where they don't have a booth, it would even be neat to have a small DVD player on top of the instrument panel running the video. I am sure they would also like you to add the video to the Lightning web site. We will be shooting from my airplane for all the air to air shots - since Lightning in flight video is the goal. (You can not carry passengers during the 40 hour test period.) The way my airplane is set up either of us can transmit to Nick in the prototype. I can also put you in either seat if that makes a difference. Some of the pre flight planning factors - other than the standard formation brief items and the planned maneuvers - will be specific areas to fly over (do we want some specific ground area to show?) and the time of day will determine where the sun is - we don't want too much video looking into the sun. For the two ship Lightning formation shots I would hope to use Linda's airplane (with her approval of course) and I would hope that it would have the wheel pants and gear leg fairings on by then. We can shoot some of the sequences with you by the runway and hopefully some with you in a third airplane. Nick and I fly lots of formation together (yes, I probably have well over 4000 in formation alone), and we have also flown occasional three ship formation with Ben in the Jabiru 400. You in the 400 with Ben (or with Pete in the 250) would make a great camera ship for the aerial formation shots of the two Lightnings. We will continue to flesh out the plan as we get closer to the actual time frame. Blue Skies, Buz --------------------------------- Be a PS3 game guru.

Ours isn't finished out yet; B&B will be over Thursday and Friday finishing the interior of Joe Cooper's so his might be a good one to photograph next week.

It will probably take several flights (maybe over several days) to get all the shots. Should be lots of fun. Might even get some three ship Lightning formation shots. Next thing you know we can book Oshkosh and SNF as the latest formation airshow act. Just kidding of course.
