Has Arion considered using modified winglets on the Lightning? Would there be
any advantages to doing this?

Lightning 8WN, Serial number 26.
I have started my upholstery. I added a lot of weight between building
seatbacks and all the avionics but what the heck, this is what I want. I
have started changing the system to latch the canopy down, built 1-1/8"
control sticks to fit my old Cobra grips. It will be full IFR, auto
pilot GRT dual, and get this, sport pilot. I am at the point of no more
medicals. Ready to install the canopy but I will modify the canopy
frame first to fit the glass better. Any suggestions where to put the
refrigerator?

Hey Johnny,
I like the look of the high back seats. And yes, build it like you want
it.
Blue Skies,

Jim,
Interesting you should ask about winglets. Pete, Nick, and I spent some
time discussing wing tip extensions (as well as other changes) while at SNF.
Their fiber glass expert from Wisconsin (Rick Disher ?) was there as well
and he, Pete, and I actually walked around looking at various examples of tip
extensions - some with winglets. Rick took some photos of the Lancair and
Toxo tips. He has a great eye and it will be interesting to see what he comes
up with. The idea for tip extensions will be to lower the stall speed
(without using VGs) for those wishing to fly with a sport pilot license. If the
new tip can add about 5 square feet of wing area per side it should be no
problem for Lightnings built to 1320 gross weight to easily make the 45 knot
stall requirement.
Blue Skies,
Buz

Thanks for the info Buz. What do the winglets do for the top end?
