Does anyone know if Arion provides a diagram for the lIghtning panel so that I can start to layout a design for my aircraft? ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:52:43 AM PST US From: "JOSEPH MATHIAS LINDA MATHIAS" Subject: Re: Lightning-List: Panel Layout Diagram? JIm, I know that Nick has a CAD file of the panel dimensions. Just be aware that the bottom 2" folds under at a 90 degree angle; lack of that knowledge caused me some problems.

Hey folks, Check out the short write up on the Lightning at: _http://www.bydanjohnson.com/_ (http://www.bydanjohnson.com/) I understand that Dan will do a more in-depth piece soon and it should show up on this site plus hopefully in Sport Aviation. It looks like the "rest of the world" will soon know what we have all been saying about the Lightning, its performance capabilities, handling characteristics, and all around beautiful looks. On another note, I have finally found the time to put the 64ZK55 on my airplane (N31BZ had been running a 54 inch pitch). I will have a more in-depth report soon, but preliminary data indicates that this prop still allows the engine to go over 3300 rpm at 5000 feet. TAS at 5000 (on a hot day) with the OAT of 77 (90 on the ground) seems to be real close to 184 to 185. Remember, N31BZ is a modified Esqual with Lightning nose and gear. A clean, well rigged Lightning should be faster.

I need to do a baseline without any mods first. I think it'll take about 4 hours, but we'll have to refuel a couple of 3 times to keep the weight up. Might take a couple of days. Figure that I could fly before work and fly Rick's the rest of the day. I need as calm of a day and as little humidity as possible for this time of a year. Let me know if you're up for it.

Alternatively we could do it in the evening after the winds die down and after you were off work. I'd like to start Tuesday, get the unmodified baseline done, and then put on the gap seals and let you fly it back through the envelope and make sure that our "temporary" application will hold throughout the tests. We could also do some before and some after work and I'll fly Rick's plane in between.
