    Subject: 3300 exhaust system
    Hi guys I noticed on several pictures of Lightning, showing engine with straight out exhaust system (no muffler). I am looking at doing this as well, but caution say 's check first.(early model eng).The questions I ask are:- How noisy? Any affect on eng performance? Anything to be aware of? Cheers BK Down under

    Bruce: I am familiar with a Lightning built with straight pipes. It is not excessively noisy. I built mine with a muffler. The result was slightly quieter and cabin heat that works Bill N838BF ----- Original Message ----- From: Bruce & Colleen Keen<mailto:landonp@bigpond.com> To: lightning-list@matronics.com<mailto:lightning-list@matronics.com> Sent: Sunday, January 27, 2008 2:33 PM Subject: Lightning-List: 3300 exhaust system Hi guys I noticed on several pictures of Lightning, showing engine with straight out exhaust system (no muffler).

    Subject: Builders - Outboard Aileron Hinge
    I installed the bearings in the outboard aileron hinges today. I am ready to fit up the ailerons in order to fix the outboard hinges to the wing. The manual advises to "4. Temporarily bolt the flaps in place" however, I cannot find any instructions on how to do this except in Section 16, Wing Final Assembly and Installation, where it says: 2. Install the Flap, use AN4 drilled bolt of correct length a castle nut and cotter pin to secure. The holes in the half hinges on the wing are differently sized that the holes in the half hinges on the flap, which makes me think that there must be more pieces to put them together than a simple AN4 driled bolt. Am I missing something? Colin K. OK http://www.mykitlog.com/cojaken

    Subject: Frustrations and progress
    In between work and family, I am finding time to work on my Lightning. I am at the stage where I am 90% done with 90% to go. During the build process, I have experienced many periods of happiness and fun separated by a few times of frustration. This is just like any other project of this type. Persistence pays off with a great reward when your bird take to the sky for the first time. I want to express my thanks to Ryan and the rest at Green Landings for their help and patience with my project thus far. I'm having a great time and am really close now. Just the remaining wiring, interior and final assembly to go. Jim!
