Neat looking machine. I can tell you that you'll get a little more baggage into the Lightning, with two people, cruise a little faster (about 170-175mph) and burn a little more (about 5.5 gph). I imagine that the dragonfly is pretty responsive, and so is the Lightning. Welcome to the message board though. My name is Brian Whittingham and I will be doing some flight testing for a speed mod in the near future. (flap hinge fairings and gap seals for aileron, elevator, and flaps) I don't work for Arion, but have from time to time flown the 40 hours time off of customer's planes. I am by SYI a couple of times a week at least. Brian W.
