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

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

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?

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!
