Subject: | Lightning airfoil and what was its selection criteria? |
Hello,
I have not found any accurate information which airfoil exactly is in
Lightning, what was the reasoning for that airfoil and if it is a
turbulent profile or a laminar profile.
Could someone tell that, it would be really interesting? "The
incomplete guide to airfoil usage" does not list Arion Lightning.
Best Regards,

I believe that the Lightning uses a modified NACA 6200 series airfoil.
Some others with more knowledge can chime in here.
Jim!

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.

Subject: | Airborne shots of N324AL |
All,
Nick was hard at work today putting more test hours on the new Demo.
When I arrived at the hangar just a little after 7 AM he was already in the
cockpit with the engine running. Even though we had light rain, he flew another
test profile while the ceiling was high enough. This afternoon the rain
left and the weather improved and he flew several more test flights. On one of
those flights we briefed a short formation sortie so that I could get some
airborne shots, one of which is below. It really looks great in the air even
though the wheel pants are not on yet. They have been fitted and will likely
go to the paint shop tomorrow.
Blue skies,
Buz
