Jim,
Congratulations on your Lightning purchase! Sounds like you are
already thinking about your panel design; I can recommend a good panel
builder if you are interested. Avionics Systems of Leesburg, VA does
excellent work (you can see some of their work at www.avionikits.com) and
they provide great support during the installation and operation of the
equipment. I had a problem with the EFIS in my Chelton system (which
turned out to be a bad hard drive in the Primary Flight Display) but
Avionics Systems provided every possible assistance during the
troubleshooting process. They are great guys to work with!
Linda Mathias

Congratulations on joining the "club", Jim.
Was wondering if you had abandoned the cause there for a bit.
Good you were able to sit in the demo plane at S-n-F, a little ajusting here
and there makes a world of difference.
Look forward to seeing your build and final product as it comes
together...good luck to you!

Thanks Rick:
The check for the kit goes out to Green Landings tomorrow. I almost
abandoned the Lightning, but gave it one last try at Sun n Fun. Boy, I'm
glad I did!

Thanks Linda. Good to know I will be one of the Lightning crowd! I will be
building my panel myself. With my electrical engineering and computer
programming background, I should be good to go on it.
Plus, the builder assist at Green Landings will make things easier too.
Jim!
