From: "promod69camaro" I sure wish I had the money to purchase the Lightning several years ago when they were on special. I just purchased a Jabiru 3300 and it used almost half of my aircraft budget. For some reason, I had it in my mind that I could build a Lightning for the same cost as a basic Corvette. I kind of wanted both, and decided on a plane, so I left the car on the lot and put the money in the bank. I still look at the Corvette when I drive by. It seemed that several years ago, I could purchase and build a really nice, sporty aircraft. I thought that the Lightning was going to be the same cost as a Van's aircraft. I would not have purchased one back then anyway because I didn't fit very well. But the changes have rectified that problem. I think the Lightning is one of the best built and necest looking planes built. My hats off to you guys that are able to work with them daily, and to you who build them. Unfortunately, my income is not going up as fast as everything else is. Our health insurance changed and WOW, did they really give it to us! So my monthly excess funds are decreasing while everything is going up. I am afraid its not long until the lines cross and I have nothing left at the end of the month. But why am I sniffling about that here.
