I am going to see if my panel builder will come here to do some troubleshooting.

The Secret Highly Intelligent Technical - Hybrid Operational Team Lightning design group plans to announce several new designs on 1 April this year. This design group relies on each member's input and only meets after a long days work when cans of beer are available for inspiration. The most recent meeting was two weeks ago. Now, to answer your question, yes, they have come up with a four seat, twin engine Lightning that will look much like the F-82 Twin Mustang. Imagine two Lightning fuselages joined together with a stub wing and stabilizer/elevator between them, and then standard wings on the outboard side of each fuselage. Each fuselage will carry two and each will have stick and rudders. So with twin fuselages, imagine the crew coordination as to which of the four people will be flying the airplane at any one time. Another new concept will be the road-able Lightning which will be a two seat sports car with foldable wings and also floats for maritime operations to use when you are too drunk to fly or drive. And for the R-44 guys in Wisconsin, there will definitely be a vertical takeoff version of the Lightning. It will be a 200 HP Jabiru powered craft. An 80 HP engine in the nose to go forward and a 120 HP engine in the baggage compartment to power the rotors. Yes, it will be tail heavy, but helicopter guys can fly it because they are use to having a stick in each hand. And finally, there will be a stealth version with a totally operational Klingon cloaking device. Imagine the fun you could have making high speed passes down the runway or orbiting over the nearest nudist colony with out being seen. The LSA version of this one will use vortex generators so you can go really slow over the nudist colony. That's the latest news from the SHIT HOT Lightning design group. Buz

Folks, I have been looking for someone who could do a Lightning wooden desk model. I found a guy who says if we can come up with 5 orders, he will do the design for us. His website is: www.createaplane.com I have NOT done business with him, but he seems to do good work, and has done many different aircraft...he will even do your own planes' paint scheme! Check it out, if you think you may be interested, post and say so...remember, we need a least 5 guys to commit for this place to do it. Think it would be cool to have a "mini" version of my Lightning on my desk at work! Rick _________________________________________________________________ Find what you need at prices youll love.

Think it was about the point of the 'Klingon Cloaking device' that I began to suspect that you may not have been totally serious!
