I was wondering at final assembly if some type of lube should be used? The different type of metals between the leg and the mounting hole in the spar box could create some corrosion. Any comments?

It flew like a real airplane should. Flight was short due to winds and cattle on the runway. I did not wear headset since it was so quite in the aircraft. I'm going to enjoy this bird. Thanks Arion, Greg Hobbs and others.

I was at 35 kts when the calf darted out. These are not my cows. I think it is time for a BBQ.

I don't know who the heck you are or where you are from, but man, I could be your best friend reeeeeeeeal fast!!!! I have been following the lightning for years now since I saw it first at Sun n Fun 2 years ago. I think after seeing your plane I am ready to commit to the project. I would love to speak to you about the plane and basic questions like how long it took you, total cost......and of course about your INCREDIBLE panel!!!! I even love the interior seat design!!!!! Would you mind indulging me with a few minutes of your time to speak to me on the phone. I live in Florida ( NAPLES). If you can do me this favor I would greatly appreciate it. Respond with your telephone number and I'll call when you say is a good time to. Thanks in advance.
