Subject: | Extended range gas tanks // Conversion possible? |
Putting a bladder tank in the seat next to you has been done many time by
people. I would also imagine that you could change out your wings with the
newer set that has the larger tanks. Since your bird is solid white, this
would be easy from a paint perspective too.

Subject: Lightning-List: Extended range gas tanks // Conversion possible?
With the new Lightnings having the extended range, is
it possible to convert an old Lightning with the 8
gallon less tanks to long range? One day I would
love to be able to fly to Europe but am going to need
more gas to do so. Is it possible to just have an
extra tank in the cabin, like in the passenger seat,
that has a rubber hose feeding one of the tanks??

Very nice job on the newsletter, Buz.
Actually an exceptional job.
The answer to the question is : About 4 bleams faster than stupid.

Buz,
Congrats, great start for the newsletter.
I did have a question about something. What does this mean?
"Wheelbarrows were invented to teach those that build wood, tube & fabric,
and metal airplanes how to walk on their hind legs."

Hi Earl,
Well, it was apparently a failed attempt at humor. The idea behind the
comment was that unless you are building one of the new composite airplanes,
you must still be living back in pre-historic times walking on all fours. So
if you are building with one of the old type construction methods you need
to move into the modern world by first using a wheel barrow to help yourself
learn to walk upright. Now does that make sense? Maybe it is your Navy
training and even though you built a Lightning, you need a wheel barrow to get
yourself to the airport. ;-)
Blue Skies good buddy,
Buz

Any word on when the kitplanes magazine article will be published?
Hi Brian,
No. Since the new demo flight for him will not happen until at SNF, it
will certainly not be until some time this summer. I don't know how much
lead time aviation magazines need, but we may know more when we see him at
Lakeland.
As to the change in range with the new 30 gallon tanks, the answer to
that will have to come after performance testing on the new demo. Maybe
someone already flying Lightning with the larger tanks has finished their 40 hour
phase 1 and can jump in here with some valid data. Another question will be
the range with the big tanks AND the new tip extensions when they are up and
flying. So lots of test data points to be obtained. I would think that the
large tanks and tip extensions will result in high altitude cruise
performance very similar to 31BZ.
Blue Skies,
Buz

I would imagine that if so desired, existing Lightning owners could cut
their wing tips off and add the new ones?
I for one might be interested pending good performance gains.
(might be a nice winter project...)

Wayne, I have no idea why you did not have an attachment. I think everyone
else got it fine. Perhaps your e-mail provider thought it was too big a file
or something. If you have not been able to get a copy at the Lightning web
site or Jim Langley's site, let me know and I will try to send it directly to
you without going through the matronics list.

Thanks, Doug. I appreciate the encouraging words and the fact that someone
actually knows that a bleam is the scientific speed measure of a mythogical
horse walking backwards.
