    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. Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=177957#177957

    Subject: Gear legs
    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.

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, buz **************Need a new ride? Check out the largest site for U.S. used car listings at AOL Autos.

    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.

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. Johnny Thompson
