    WoW, the picture taken in the shop looks terrific. Did you use a paint mask or did you lay out the design with tape? I see you changed the position of your "N" number from the original layout. Looks good. How hard was it to get the line over the tail section to look right? I may copy part of your scheme for its the best I have seen yet. Tex

    Thanks Tex I believe that the painter masked everything with tape. I had changed the design of where the tail number is located because the masking did not turn out quite like I had expected, and I wanted to do something to dress it up. The Lightning logo, number and strike are going to be graphics done for me to be applied later. The pic shows what they will look like, although the Lightning logo will be a different color. THanks for the encouragement. Jim! On 12/27/07, Tex Mantell <wb2ssj@earthlink.net> wrote: > > WoW, the picture taken in the shop looks terrific.

    One question I have about the "N" number, the size is ok, but how much of a angle and what font will the FAA except? The preivos picture showed the number up on the tail and at a 45 degree angle. Have you researched this at all?

    Subject: Insurance for Lightning A/C
    I got a quote from EAA, but note that the Lightning is not an E-LSA. Since Arion does not offer a finished airplane as an SLSA, they cannot deliver an ELSA kit. You can build and register it as an Experimental that complies with LS limitations and can be flown by a Light Sport pilot. Colin K.

    If you are building a LSA Lightning like mine it's an E-LSA. Mine is insured by AIG, but I'm surprised that Falcon would not quote yours. Mine was the first Light Sport and only the 3rd Lightning to fly, and there was some hesitation at AIG. My Broker went through Falcon somehow to convince AIG. Sorry I don't have any details on how that came about. By now we have several Light Sport versions and no adverse history, so the insurers should be more comfortable. Could Mark or Nick give us a LSA count? Good luck getting that problem solved. Earl Ferguson N17EF (http://food.aol.com/top-rated-recipes?NCID=aoltop00030000000004)

    SLSA = special light sport aircraft - a ready to fly aircraft delivered by the manufacturer that flies within the defined light sport envelope (speed, stall, weight etc.) ELSA = a kit version of the above - but can only be sold if the above exists experimental = a kit, which may (in the Lightning's case can) be constructed to fly within the defined light sport envelope and therefor be flown by a sport pilot Colin K.

    Are you sure you have an ELSA Earl? I thought you had an Experimental whose flight characteristics are withing LSA limitations. I thought a company could only deliver an ELSA kit if they already produced a SLSA. Could be wrong. I've been wrong once before :-) Colin K.

    Subject: Re: E-LSA Insurance
    Wayne, Buz just posted a thread about the low maintenance he had on his plane. It is an Esqual that tested many of the Lightning components and utilizes the same engine. He has over 400 hours now on his airframe and was very s atisfied. I have quiet a few hours in type and never really had a problem out of the planes once they were rigged right and jetted properly. The Lig htning is an exceptional and fun aircraft to fly as well as economical! It is very responsive. I have flown one nearly all the way across the countr y. Earl has set a world record in one and flown clear across the country a nd back. Buz has something like enough miles across the ground to circle t he Earth a few times. As far as the wife goes: tell her this one will get her there faster for t he same fuel burn and therefore is cheaper. Several folks have painted the tops of the canopy similar to the diamonds to keep the sun off, and I gau rantee the low wing to be more fun. If you really did decide to go high wi ng though, check out that Jabiru 400. It's a longer build time, but you'll be seeing mid 150mph at 5.5 gph and the looks of a sleeker composite cessn a. It also has a large baggage area and two back seats. Now if you want t o go sport pilot the Jabiru 250 would be a way to go and is an SLSA which c an come factory built, which still flies well, but instead of the two back seats you get extra baggage room. The wing is thicker but you get superior takeoff roll. So getting back to my original point; get the Lightning and if you got enou gh money left over get me one too ;-) Seriously, it's a fun aircraft, but it's also a sexy plane. Always got crowds at fly-ins. Always got crowds a t the pump. I put maybe 10 gallons for a partial-fillup and go another 500 miles and still have a good reserve. Now if I just had one of my own, ins tead of borrowing others! P.S. Buz, never have met your friend from down here to show him pics and ge t him to buy one. Think he's busy with some astronuts or something.
