| Subject: | New Lightning Demo |
Hi All,
The new demo aircraft sure looks great. But, several questions come to
mind from seeing what has been done with this latest Lightning produced
by Arion.
1. Silver (?) paint versus white as the primary color. Begs the
question about composite aircraft colors and heat and its impact on the
aircraft structure.
2. Viewing the canopy pictures I noticed that the support brackets
appear to be only present on one side of the canopy support/pivot arms.
Is this another change/modification to how the canopy frame is attached
and is there any beefup inside the canopy frame structure that makes
this possible or what?
Here's a general question for the list. I'm considering a Trio
autopilot system for my Lightning. I'd like to hear from those who have
them installed and what they have to say about them and autopilots in
general on this aircraft.
Thanks................Bill in Tucson, kit #49.

In the UK the PFA won't have silver paint on a composite. One guy tried
to convince them of it's reflective properties with data but no success.
Francesc used it on his Esqual demonstrators but they were carbon.
BUT, take a look at all the Pulsars that are Green, dark red, even
black.
Last time I groped a silver plane next to a white one there was only a
very small difference in surface temperature.
Maybe this is special paint?
Sure looks good, ala Cirrus or is it the other one?

Bill,
I'm not sure what picture you are looking at, but the cockpit pics that
Pete sent out to the list you can clearly see two brackets that hold the ca
nopy frame up. Something that does "appear" different from the first Light
nings is that the hinges appear to be closer together and of course the gas
struts were placed further forward before the first customer plane was del
ivered to help the canopy open wider. Brian W.

Hi Brian,
In the pictures sent out by Pete it shows only one bracket holding each
pivot arm to the canopy frame. "Normally" the pivot arm is sandwiched
between two brackets that mount to the canopy frame (total of four
brackets). This does not appear to be the case in the picture from the
27 March post...............Bill.

BUT, take a look at all the Pulsars that are Green, dark red, even
black.
I am a Pulsar driver and have been for many years. I have never seen a
Pulsar that was anything but white or light yellow for the main color.
It has always been recommended by the designer to keep them white only
due to the buildup of heat on dark colors. There was someone in a cooler
country than the US that had requested permission to paint one red but
don't think it came about.

Hi Lightning list members,
Attached you will find issue number 3 of our newsletter. I wanted to
get it out before I head off to Sun-N-Fun next Friday, so at least I have met
that goal. Due to "delta sierra" weather I am still in SYI and may be here
until Wednesday if the forecast turns out to be valid. That said, I will be
too busy when I do get back to Virginia to do anything but prepare for my
flight to Lakeland. So you are getting the newsletter a few days earlier than
I
expected, but since I put it together pretty quickly there may be typos, etc.
Linda must be out of town, as my e-mail request for another superb editing
job went unanswered. She really has done a great job for the past issues.
Again, I am putting out another request for inputs to "your" newsletter.
That is what will be required to keep it both informative and interesting.
I just received a very informative e-mail from Pete Disher in Australia with
18 more pictures of his Lightning project. I will certainly include that in
the next issue, so you can look forward to that, but that is an excellent
example of the type of information that will be interesting to other Lightning
builders. Also, in the next issue will be some information on Earl
Ferguson's world record Lightning flight. He finally received the FAI certified
document, so it is official that the Lightning (and Earl) holds a world record.
Next issue will also include some info on Sun-N-Fun. Hopefully many of
you will be there. If so, there will be a Lightning forum on Wednesday at
noon in the forum tents. And then on Thursday at noon will be the yearly
Lightning list get together at the Arion Lightning booth. Be there, aloha!
Blue Skies,
Buz
PS: Give me some feedback on the newsletter. It is hard to know if I am on
target if I don't hear from you. So comments and suggestions are certainly
appreciated.

Bill,
The new canopy frame is beefed up as you suspected. The entire
structure is much more rigid and does not flex or "move around" as you open it.
Add
to that the new latching handle overhead and you get a much better overall
canopy design. I think it even opens a little wider making ingress easier. On
the photo that I
will add below you can also see the new instrument panel and instrument
panel cover. The black panel cover is part of the airframe, and the gray panel
attaches to that. The panel itself can be removed, but if you use the large
Grand Rapids EFIS you can pull one of them out to give yourself great access
to behind the panel. The canopy latching mechanism is also a great
improvement as shown in the second photo.
Blue Skies,
Buz

You know.. Looking at the pics of the Pulsar makes me like the Lightning
shape even more. While the Pulsar looked so cool to me about a year ago,
the Lightning looks so much cleaner, and continues to get better as Arion
makes little improvements along the way.
I can't wait to see what it looks like another year from now.

met that goal. Due to "delta sierra" weather I am still in SYI and may be
here until Wednesday if the forecast turns out to be valid. That said, I
will be too busy when I do get back to Virginia to do anything but prepare
for my flight to Lakeland. So you are getting the newsletter a few days
earlier than I expected, but since I put it together pretty quickly there
may be typos, etc. Linda must be out of town, as my e-mail request for
another superb editing job went unanswered. She really has done a great job
for the past issues.
Again, I am putting out another request for inputs to "your" newsletter.
That is what will be required to keep it both informative and interesting.
I just received a very informative e-mail from Pete Disher in Australia with
18 more pictures of his Lightning project. I will certainly include that in
the next issue, so you can look forward to that, but that is an excellent
example of the type of information that will be interesting to other
Lightning builders. Also, in the next issue will be some information on
Earl Ferguson's world record Lightning flight. He finally received the FAI
certified document, so it is official that the Lightning (and Earl) holds a
world record.
Next issue will also include some info on Sun-N-Fun. Hopefully many of
you will be there. If so, there will be a Lightning forum on Wednesday at
noon in the forum tents. And then on Thursday at noon will be the yearly
Lightning list get together at the Arion Lightning booth. Be there, aloha!
Blue Skies,
Buz
PS: Give me some feedback on the newsletter. It is hard to know if I am on
target if I don't hear from you. So comments and suggestions are certainly
appreciated.

You know.. Looking at the pics of the Pulsar makes me like the Lightning
shape even more. While the Pulsar looked so cool to me about a year ago,
the Lightning looks so much cleaner, and continues to get better as Arion
makes little improvements along the way.
I can't wait to see what it looks like another year from now.

Bill:
On the autopilot thing. Have you chosen your panel display, (gauges, or
MFD/EFIS)?
If you are thinking of a Dynon, or MGL, they both are developing a "plug in"
autopilot that can be added to their existing systems. I know that my MGL
Odyssey will very shortly be able to drive servos with all the auto pilot
functions running in software inside the unit.
This is an exciting time with many new developments.
Jim!

Hi All,
The new demo aircraft sure looks great. But, several questions come to mind
from seeing what has been done with this latest Lightning produced by Arion.
1. Silver (?) paint versus white as the primary color. Begs the question
about composite aircraft colors and heat and its impact on the aircraft
structure.
2. Viewing the canopy pictures I noticed that the support brackets appear
to be only present on one side of the canopy support/pivot arms. Is this
another change/modification to how the canopy frame is attached and is there
any beefup inside the canopy frame structure that makes this possible or
what?
Here's a general question for the list. I'm considering a Trio autopilot
system for my Lightning. I'd like to hear from those who have them
installed and what they have to say about them and autopilots in general on
this aircraft.
Thanks................Bill in Tucson, kit #49.

The first picture is a Kis not a Pulsar, the second is light yellow that
I mentioned does exist. The third is Bon Hartlines very pale green
Pulsar, not at all a dark color. The designer still only recommends
white for any areas that will get warm and no amount of pictures will
change that. Paint one black if you live in Antarctica I suppose.
I think the lightning is a great looking plane or I wouldn't be lurking
here but at this point I can't afford all of the fast build components.I
have more time than money. I built my Pulsar for 25 thousand and it
works great for me but it is still not in the class of the Lightning.
The best I can do is 160 cruise at 4 gph (Jabiru 2200) but it is small,
with not a lot of room for passengers. I will be at Sun N Fun so if you
see a guy with a Pulsar hat drooling over the Lightnings its probably
me.
Larry

http://www.ppl.flyer.co.uk/pfa/page02.html, this black enough for you?
There is also a maroon one, can't imagine a white recomendation got past
the PFA but anything is possible I suppose. This one looks well glued...
