I have started the build. Working on section 1 - Fuselage Prep. today.
The production of my kit was delayed a couple of weeks which then led
into
transportation delays due to the ice storms and the holidays. All this
resulted in the airframe kit not being delivered until January 7th.
However, now I am very happy that everything has arrived undamaged and
there
are just a few parts on back order, which are not needed immediately. At
this time everything is as expected with the appropriate holes already
cut
in the rear fuselage bulkhead for the seatbelt and rudder cables.
A packing list accompanied the final shipment, which was very helpful. A
box
of metal parts had no packing list, but Mark S. from Arion quickly
supplied
one via email and everything checked off.
I got my sliding canopy windows and am very pleased with them. I
requested
these rather than the hinged ones after I saw this type on Buz's
airplane. I
will post a photo after I have taken the protective coating off the
canopy.
One piece of info for future builders is not to expect to be able to use
the
shipping crates as shop stands. The packing is quite appropriate for the
mode of transport used, but it is mostly bubble wrap and cardboard so
you
won't be making a fuselage stand or wing stands out of that!
I am updating my build log on-line. Not much to read yet, but I hope
eventually it will be of use to those who come after me.
Best regards
Colin K.

Keep at it Colin! I was cursing your KitLog site tonight and see that you
updated it, great job!
By the way, to all. There are currently two Lightnings being built that are
keep their logs on www.mykitlog.com.
Colin Kennedy
http://www.mykitlog.com/cojaken/
Jim Langley
http://www.mykitlog.com/pequeajim/
This site gets a lot of visibility from builders around the world. I
originally was keeping my log at www.jimslightning.com, but found KitLog to
be so much better, so I created a link to the build log site. Colin is
logging all of his build activity on KitLogs site as well.
Jim!

I just got my Odyssey and fit it to my panel today!
I have left a blank area on the right in case I want to use the new Voyager,
(slightly smaller version of the Odyssey), as a second MFD.

Colin,
Keep at it on a regular basis and we will see you at Oshkosh. Heck,
make that Sun-N-Fun since the Lightning is a fast build kit.
Blue Skies,
Buz
**************Start the year off right. Easy ways to stay in shape.
