Hi all, I noticed that Brien Seeley of the CAFE Foundation has been promoting the foundation's Personal Air Vehicle (PAV) Challenge[1] contest on, among other places, the Van's Airforce website run by Doug Reeves[2]. The thinking there is that an RV, with some mods to reduce noise, could meet all the entry requirements. It occurs to me that if an RV could meet the entry requirements then in theory an Arion Lightning could too. While I don't think there is a lot of time left before the contest is run later this year, it can't hurt to look at the rules to see if it is plausible.

Jim, I am pretty sure that the Lightning does meet the rules. The Jabiru engine is quieter than what is going in the RV's I'm sure. I would consider the Lighting to be a more technologically developed aircraft with cutting edge manufacturing techniques. Go over to the Van's AirForce site though and they'll tell you that there's no way that you can make an airplane go faster with composites than metal. (had that conversation) Until they get the performance on a lesser amount of horsepower and burning as little fuel as we do in cruise though I think the record stands for itself. Brian W.

Hey Brian: I love to hear what the Legacy FG guys think of that quote when they are cruising around at 260mph with that same IO-360 looking back at the rivet bangers?
