Hello Bill,
Welcome to the Lightning group. I am lucky enough to have flown
several different Lightnings, including the hybrid, the prototype, the new demo,
and a customer build one, and I can certainly say that you have chosen a great
design that is fun to fly, economical to operate, and looks like it is dong
Mach 2 just sitting on the ramp. I just returned from Oshkosh and while there
I had the pleasure of visiting the Lightning fiber-glass factory and I am
even more impressed with the strength and integrity of the design now. Rick
Disher and his crew turn out outstanding products using the latest technology.
And to provide you even more reassurance, Rick is building a Lightning
himself.
I would encourage you to share your building experiences with this group
as you go through the processes in constructing your "jet". We can all
learn through the experiences of others, so as a group we are stronger in the
knowledge base it takes to produce one of these great airplanes.
Blue Skies,
Buz Rich

PPS: How do you know if an A-10 took a bird strike? Answer - Look on the
trailing edge of the wings. :-)

Everybocy should be getting back from Oshkosh by now. Give us the details, impressions,
new ideas, what's cool, and what's not.
Some of us couldn't go this year, and are anxious to hear.

Well, I finally got to meet some of the other builders. I know that a small
group went to Custom Fiberglass to see how the Lightning was made and were
very impressed. I'll let one of them comment on that trip. I bought most of
what I need in my panel and was placed on the MGL Odyssey list for delivery
in three months.
If it looks like the Odyssey is going to be late coming, I may borrow a EIS
from someone just to get my aircraft airworthy, (if that is allowed), and
then install it when it arrives.
I saw the new fuel tank, (larger), and new landing lights to be installed in
the wing. The best thing for me was to have access to the Lightning guys
for questions. I also was able to nose around the Lightning demo and take a
lot of pictures. It is much more meaningful to me now that I have started
on my aircraft.
All in all a great time.
Jim!

Jim,
There are no details yet since we still have to come up with the date. We're
planning on late Sep. When Pete, Nick and I recover from Oshkosh we'll come
up with the date and initial details.
