Subject: | Re: seriously OFF TOPIC |
Good for you and congratulations.
I took 8 years off and just in the last 1/2-year started flying again.
I, too, long for a Lightning. I am headed to the factory in late May for a visit.

I agree with your thinking Tex, although I also think the dissimilar
metal
corrosion would not be very active provided the area was kept dry.
Due to the close fit, anything as thick as paint would not work. I am
sure
that WD40 or oil would help, but I wonder for how long?
I might try a product called Waxoyl I used to use to prevent rust on
classic
cars. Just because I have a tin left over from years ago! When warm/hot,
it
is fluid, but it cools to a waxy substance.

Subject: Lightning-List: Gear legs
I have had my gear legs on and off and have a very nice fit. 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?

Congratulations, Johnny. When you get the chance, send me an article for
the newsletter. Just as long or short as you would like would be fine. Let us
know your experiences (both good and bad) and your thoughts on the build
process and how the flying is going. Also, I suggest you need to add either a
"cow catcher" like on the old west trains, or a "mini machine gun" to get
those cows out of the way. Besides, I would hate to see you taxi through a warm
cow patty.
Blue skies,

Congratulations, Johnny. It looks great. Mine (N62JV) has been flying
about three months, but only has 6 hours TT. I had some medical issues I
am getting resolved before continuing with the testing phase. I expect
to be flying formation with you shortly.

N8WN left the ground around 6:00 am today. 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.
