To the Group.
We would like to let everyone know that the Wing tip extensions are now for
sale and ready to ship. The cost is $495 for the set and will be either a
direct bolt on or glass on as you prefer.
These tips are still under going performance testing but have been proven to
be airworthy and not have any adverse effects except maybe a slight decrease
in cruise however we have not re-installed the speed kit nor the go-fast
prop at this point as the prototype is still in a sport configuration. We
will try to have the performance numbers out next week. If you are building
the Lightning to meet sport rules these tips are the way to go. The only
draw back for a go-fast Lightning may be the drop in cruise at low
altitudes, but will see next week.

a couple of days ago I noticed a litte fuel on the ground under left wing
Hi Allan,
It is hard to respond with a definitive answer without
knowing more facts. For example, what do you mean by a "little fuel" on
the ground and how long had the puddle been there? Aviation fuel evaporates
pretty quickly so unless it was a really large leak and large puddle, it probably
would evaporate on the ground really quickly and you would not see a puddle
unless it was recent. Did you see any dripping? Were there any
blue residue on the bottom of the wing? Had the airplane just been refueled
and the line guy possibly over filled the tank and that is what caused
the fuel on the ground? That seems to happen a lot with the Esqual and Lightning
when untrained line guys refuel them. Was there an apparent area
where the fuel was coming from? For example the tank sump. Was it
in fact fuel? Sorry about so many questions, but without more to go on
it is hard to come up with
suggestions.
Blue Skies,
buz

Hello Nick
Will there be an additional cost for the new tips, in lieu of the old
tips, on new kits?
Thanks
Gary Pennington
