Dear Listers,
There are just a couple days left for this year's List Fund Raiser. Over all,
participation has been good, but things have been pretty slow this week for some
reason. If you've been putting off making your Contribution until the last
minute, this is it! The last minute, that is... :-)
Please remember that there isn't any sort of commercial advertising on the Lists
and the *only* means of keeping these Lists running is through your Contributions
during this Fund Raiser.
Please make a Contribution today!

Thank you!

Hi Wayne and welcome to the list. There are at least three builders on the
list that are building on their own, maybe more. I'm sure they will chime
in to let you know who they are. Also, if you are interested in a completed
Lightning, Green Landings is selling their demo model.
How does it perform, in a word, fantastic!
Jim!

I am about to start building at home. I believe delivery time for a new kit is
about two months at the moment.

figures are realistic.

I want to express my appreciation and encouragement to whoever is adding
the
build manual updates to the www.arionaircraft.com, to keep up the good
work!
How are you homebuilders getting on?
Did you get your canopy scratches addressed and what sort of hole saws
are
you using? My fear is that if I use a $15 one for drywall instead of a
$40
carbide type, it will shred the fiberglass!

Colin and all others,
All of the accolades should be directed to Nick. He works daily on the
manual and is trying to make it better each time. If you have comments or
questions please let us know so we can continue to make our product the best
it can be.
As far as hole saws go, we use fairly inexpensive hole saws from
McMaster-Carr. Just perform a search on hole saws. We buy the bi-metal ones
since we use them in several different applications.
Your kit will be on the way shortly.
Have a great day!
Mark

Colin,
I'm a homebuilder. I got a cheap set of hole saws from Harbor Freight, a
whole set for less than $5 and the pilot drill was so untrue (it wobbled in
the drill chuck) that I couldn't use it. I went to Sears and got an arbor
that would hold the cheap hole saws and they worked fine.
The canopy scratch situation has not been rectified as of this date.
The build manual rewrites are definitely needed and a great help. Having
said that, I have spent quite a bit of time agonizing over the spar box
installation and I cannot reconcile my measurements with the measurements
given in the revised instructions. I am building in my garage at home and
don't have the luxury of being able to fit and refit the wings several
times. It is currently too cold and snowy to work in the driveway in front
of the garage.
