Mike- Just got off the phone w/ a former T-38 Airforce
pilot who is going to build a Lightning w/ a chute. He
wanted to know how my project is going. Real
interesting guy. He said the agility of
the Lighting brought back memories of the fighter. He
said top speed was 850 mph, normal cruise around 500
and landing speed 180. it could roll 720 degrees in
one second (essentially corkscrew). After flying one
of those, he said every other plane seemed boring. He
flies in Oregon over forests and does acrobatics, so
he needs a chute. Just thought this might motivate you
to get your license. Google T-38 and check it out. He
took a demo flight in the Lightning and could feel the
responsiveness. Charles

Charles,
I think I saw your Lightning. I was up at Green Landings a few months ago for a
demo flight and there was a Lightning up there that had BRS resently installed.
I remember asking Ryan about the weight. Post some pictures, if you get the
chance.

They don't show the installation of the brs or
anything close-up. The install of the brs is basically
the same as on Nick's prototype. Charles

Big things have been happening up at Green Landings
Flight Center. Ryan doesn't do too much bragging on
the Lightning List. If I were him I would post the
photos of the first flight etc. to show everyone GL is
a great place to build a Lightning. On November 30, my Lightning N3134S with
BRS parachute 3150 made it's first flight. Ryan said it handled superbly in
the air, with no problems on the first flight other than the instruments
which will need to be adjusted, which is commmon. Charles
