Ames) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 03:37:12 AM PST US From: "Brian Whittingham" Subject: Re: Lightning-List: Flight test results Earl, I'm waiting on Nick to give me a sheet with a good airspeed calibration so that I can do all the math and get it to work out just right. (Nick if you're reading, I need that and the pitot static sheet ASAP) I think that you're going to find a slightly less fuel burn after though b/c of a better climb rate to an altitude that will be better for fuel. The strips are in Nick's office. They are the property of Buz if you want to ask him for some. You can find them in different sizes and thickness in various places on the internet. Hope this helps and good luck on your run!

Also the weight is a problem for now.

They are the property of Buz Hi again Earl, I did buy the strips and several other products to get the ball rolling on the drag reduction program for the Lightning and my Esqual LS. I donated all of these things to Nick for Lightning's use knowing that Brian, working on his masters, would have more time to experiment than I would. So go to Nick for what you need. I am sure they will be happy to have you use any of the things if it will help your effort. Of course when you set your new world's record, and the news and film crews have you on national news, Nick and I expect to be added to the list of "people that you thank and that made this historic world record flight possible". And if the reporter that is interviewing you is a pretty lady, give her my phone number. Best of luck, Buz PS: If you still need to reduce your overall aircraft weight by ten pounds, just let five pounds of air out of each main tire. :-) ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 07:58:31 AM PST US From: "Robert E.
