    Subject: Fuel Injected Jabiru 3300
    Now the Lightning list is at last starting to venture out from the "you have got a fantastic paint scheme" into the sort of discussion that may result in someone moving up to the next level of performance. Being an old rev head from way back I just love it when turbo charging, fuel injection, super charging come up. But I have to agree with Doug's general thrust. Its fantastic to look at on some else's plane and chew the fat over but I don't want electronic fuel injection on mine if I'm taking the wife for a trip at the weekend. I got a bad enough roasting when I ran 1 tank dry before changing tanks, without informing the Boss. I just hate to think of the response if we had several minutes of silence. Actually I would not be in trouble till we got onto the ground, then I would have to turn off my hearing aids. FADEC as used on the Lycoming will become a way of life ultimately but it costs big bickies due to the development costs. Just think about the software required to decide is a sensor reading hot or has it failed out of speck. Do "I"(the ECU) cut back the fuel to that cylinder or not. The MAP sensor is reading low. Is the sensor faulty or not. I have had an ECU failure. Do I relinquish control to the backup one if there is one or do I go into the limp home mode.(on take off?) In Europe a Diamond twin with thielert diesels took of with flat batteries after a jump start. Retraction of the undercarriage and flaps dropped the voltage enough that the ECU's shut down both engines after takeoff. Diamond says it is Thielerts fault and vice versa. You can see why fuel injection on a Lycosaurus is mechanical. Turbo charging is another matter. It does not have the problem of having multiple failure points requiring multiple redundant systems. Again why it has found its way onto mainstream aero engines. Apart from plumbing issues heat dissipation is the biggest problem. Ask yourself does my engine run on the cool side or not. Very few engines do. So some re-design is necessary. Also has the advantage of maintaining full power to high altitude, although cooling really becomes a problem at reduced air densities. Turbo charging can be a real benefit as the speed increases by about 1.6%/1000ft for a given horsepower. So at FL150 your TAS can be 25% higher for the same horsepower. Interestingly some of your(US) military high altitude drones use a triple stage turbo charged Rotax 914's and can reach above 80,000 feet with a prop drive. I think I have seen that they are pensioned off after as little as 200-400 hours. Rotax have been fiddling with fuel injection for several years but has not released it. Ultimately the easiest speed increase comes from the airframe refinements.eg Zodiac/Lightning Even a 20% increase in hp does not give a big increase in speed. Look at Darryl Greenmeyer's Lancair.It is twin turbo, methanol and water injection reputed to be turning out around 700hp and 400mph- a little over twice Buzz's Esqual top speed on 125 hp. Keep the pressure on Arion for refinements. Wow I hate it when I get on an interesting topic. Malcolm Ferguson

    Subject: Update from UK SC owner
    From: "James, Clive R" <clive.james@uk.bp.com>
    This from the first customer SC to fly in the UK: I flew the Sportcruiser a week ago and was pleasantly surprised, the power from the Rotax was more than adequate, I wasn't able to properly asses the climb but seem to be better than 800 fpm, however, the cruise was good at an honest 115 knots, that's at 4800 rpm (75%) and take off from concrete was - into 10-12 mph wind - about 100 meters. As far as I know there are two 3300 jab SC's in the build, one in the North Midlands and the other South of London, will be interesting to see what the benefit turns out to be!. I quite liked the look of the SC but am not a fan of the Rotax although in certain airframes there seemed to be little difference between the 912S and the 3300, as Joe says above will be interesting to see what the difference is. Joe flew behind a Jabiru 2200 before. Regards, Clive

    Subject: Cirrus SRS Light Sport
    I can't wait until Cirrus version of the light sport, the SRS, comes out. It looks a bit like the Lightning, with wing tips and a full airframe parachute. It's not as aerodynamic, and uses the Rotax 100, which begs the question, why? With the price increase they just put in effect for their base model 4-seater, fromm $199,900 to $214,900, I bet that their light sport is easily going to push 150K with any kind of decent options. With a price increase like that, the price increase at Arion doesn't look as bad. If their light sport is as boring to fly as their 4-seater, the only place I see their light sport is in flight schools. --- "James, Clive R" <clive.james@uk.bp.com> wrote: > This from the first customer SC to fly in the UK: > > I flew the Sportcruiser a week ago and was > pleasantly surprised, the > power from the Rotax was more than adequate, I > wasn't able to properly > asses the climb but seem to be better than 800 fpm, > however, the cruise > was good at an honest 115 knots, that's at 4800 rpm > (75%) and take off > from concrete was - into 10-12 mph wind - about 100 > meters. > As far as I know there are two 3300 jab SC's in the > build, one in the > North Midlands and the other South of London, will > be interesting to see > what the benefit turns out to be!. > > I quite liked the look of the SC but am not a fan of > the Rotax although > in certain airframes there seemed to be little > difference between the > 912S and the 3300, as Joe says above will be > interesting to see what the > difference is.

    Subject: Re: RE: Retractable gear
    You won't see a retract version of the lightning. At least in its current configuration. I never close the door on further developments, however the current configuration of the lightning is what we intended it to be. A higher horsepower higher speed version would benefit well from this but that is not what we designed the lightning to do for now. Even from that stand point look at how well the legacey FG performs with a well faired fixed gear! doesnt make a very good argument for a retract does it.... nick Charles Dewey <cdewey6969@yahoo.com> wrote: Any plans for a retractable gear Lightning? --- Brian Whittingham wrote: > > Charles, > Not a problem.

They made very little on 150's but the step up sold the hell out of the 172 and 182. Didn't hurt the 310 and 340 either. Doug **************Start the year off right.

    Subject: Yes I'm building a Zenith........ sigh
    Well since my family's name and honor has been brought up on this list I guess I must respond just to save face!! Hi, my name is Mark and I'm building a Zenith 601XL. (You all respond "Hi Mark") The first step on the road to recovery is admitting you have a problem. A little bit of history about me and the Zenith. I helped a friend of mine build an old model (before match drilling and very few formed parts) RV-6 when I lived in VA. I decided that I wanted to build a plane since I figured on E6 pay I couldn't afford a "real" plane. I researched for over 2 years going to Sun n Fun twice and Oshkosh. I even talked to Pete at Oshkosh about the Esqual but honestly, at that point in time I couldn't afford the initial high $20k that the kit cost. I liked the Rans products but was worried about a possible lack of hangar space with a "tube and fabric" airplane. The initial kit cost of an RV was good but the finishing costs (finishing kit, engine, avionics) were a tough obstacle. I settled on the Zenith as a good compromise for me and my situation. I have over 1200 hours in my kit over a span of 5 years now. I'm within a couple hundred hours of finishing it and hope to have it flying sometime this year. I have an early Zenith kit. Almost no holes drilled and lots of sheet metal to measure and cut. The funny thing is that the Zenith is what lead me to come work for Pete and Nick. After another couple of years of research and pestering Pete at Sun n Fun I decided on a Jabiru engine. In Aug of '05 I attended their first engine seminar. In October I heard that they were looking for a builders assistance center manager and met with Pete about the job the week before Thanksgiving. I went back to the Army and dropped my retirement paperwork for a 1 Oct 06 retirement. In June of '06 I moved my house to Shelbyville and started working for Arion while on transition leave from the Army. The rest, as they say, is history. I love flying the Lightning and I'm equally excited about flying my Zenith when I get it done. So there you have it. Now, on a side note. Whenever somebody wants a pretty aluminum console or baffle made guess who they come to??!! Have a great evening! Mark From: owner-lightning-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-lightning-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Brian Whittingham Sent: Sunday, January 20, 2008 5:02 PM Subject: RE: Lightning-List: SC / Lightning comparison plus other comments I think that Mark is a "Builder's builder", meaning that he likes a challenge. I hear that his next project is going to be the Spruce Goose II. (100,000,000 man hours to complete) Working on these time consuming airplanes helps him to help you guys in the builder assist program because he's been there and seen that. He does enjoy flying the Lightning in his time off to unwind though. Isn't that right Mark :-) Brian W. _____ Climb to the top of the charts! Play the word scramble challenge with star power.

    Subject: Re: Yes I'm building a Zenith........ sigh
    Since I think I was the one that "outed" Mark let me add a few words in his behalf. First off, I have been to Mark's house and garage work shop in Shelbyville and looked at his project. At the time, our EAA Chapter in Williamsburg, VA (Chapter 156) was building a Zenith 601XL and I figured I might pick up some good ideas and suggestions since Mark had been at the project for about 3 years at that time. The first thing I noticed was that Marks workmanship was superb. Every piece and part that he had completed was absolutely first rate. I am an EAA Technical Counselor (and Flight Advisor) and have visited many projects in the past to evaluate the builders work and to make suggestions if I thought any change was required. In Mark's case, I was very impressed with all he had completed and his overall plan to finish the project - first rate work. I might add that having been to the Arion hangar numerous times over the past 2 1/2 years, I have also seen the results of Mark's work on Lightning kits being assembled there as well. Again, first rate. Heck, he would not be working for Pete and Nick if that was not the case. All the Arion people are dedicated to producing an excellent built airplane with outstanding flying qualities. Sorry mark, now everyone knows that you work with on a metal airplane during the evenings. Well, except on the weekends. That is when he chases women.

    Subject: Zenith ///////// Lightning
    I actually like the STOL Zenith 4 seater. I thought it was a great plane when plane shopping at Sun n Fun. If I could have 2 planes, that would be a good people and stuff mover. My flight instructor in Winter Haven was advising against Zenith for what he considered to be a flawed wing. I can't remember why exactly he had concerns about it, but I will find out about it and post it. If anyone knows him, he is John Amundsen, owner of Tailwheels, Etc. Flight School @ Gilbert Field. The 4-seater STOL is used a lot in Africa and in the Amazon to get supplies in and people out for medical care. Because they take off and land in a rididulously small amount, and have a virtually vertical takeoff, they can get into tiny airstrips the Lightning could never access. Check their website out to see the video of a takeoff. Because the Zenith was all metal, I knew it would be a silly long build process. The Zenith price was so good that it was tempting, but the Lightning swayed me due to it is a fast build, much faster speedwise, and much more fuel efficient AND it could be had with a parachute. SO, it really was a no-brainer decision for me which to choose. I had to reconsile the fact that if I bought the Zenith, I would be buying it more for others than myself. I say this b/c 90% of the time, I will be flying alone or with one other person. So a 4-seater really wasn't necessary- but it would be great to have the extra seats and storage when needed. I am also trying hard to be the kind of guy who travels light. There's nothing worse than hauling junk you wind up never using. Not that I wouldn't haul uselful stuff in the Zenith, I figured I could still be creative and haul pleny of stuff in the Lightning when and if needed. I see no problem hauling 150 lbs of groceries instead of a passenger. It would just involve some clever packing. --- N1BZRich@aol.com wrote: > Since I think I was the one that "outed" Mark let me > add a few words in his > behalf.
