Another sweet paint job. In the UK it's any colour at all as long as
it's white! Makes us brits seem a little boring....
Going to try and get some stripes made with the swirl you guys are
using. It adds a real nice line to the plane.
Regards, Clive
P.S. thought it was going to be a 19 year old cheer leader note that had
got through the spam filter

That does not look like a DIY paint job!
Well, Tex is a perfectionist and can do fantastic things with a paint roller
and finger paints. :-)
Once again, great job Tex. Keep up the good work and send me some more
things for the newsletter. I think some people have actually read some of the
issues. See you at OSH. And all you other "Hooligans" also.

enough for me to get converted onto the Esqual
Hey Clive, Congratulations on you flying your "jet". And yes, the Esqual
does fly a lot more like a "jet" than does the Jabiru. Once you get your hand
calibrated for the Esqual you will really love the way she flies. When you
get the chance give us an updated flight report for the newsletter.

Group,
@ 430 central N123WL departed Shelbyville for a 30 minute flight all
systems good. She really climbs with the new tips.
Wayne should be flying it this weekend or next week and I will let him give

| Subject: | When in doubt, don't give up! |
I was rummaging through an old email folder, cleaning out some dead email,
and ran across one that I sent to my wife about a year and a half ago.
I has started taking pilot training and approached it with all of my normal
go get em' confidence like everything else I had done in my life. When I
took my FAA written, I got a 98 on it; I breezed through my verbal with
flying colors, then took a 2 hour flight test. My examiner failed me on th
e
No-flaps landing portion of the exam, even though I landed the aircraft
safely. He said I was landing too fast, and would over run a shorter
runway. This is something that my instructor had not covered with me, but
still, I should have done it right. I went into the check ride with full
confidence of passing, just like my written and verbal. To say that I was
upset would be an understatement. I went home and sat on my porch and
wanted to cry. This was a very new feeling for me. For once I understood
what it was like to have some self doubts in my life. My wife can be
insecure at times, and some times I had not understood those feelings like
I
should have. This day, I understood very clearly.
I sat down and wrote her a note, letting her know how I felt, how I could
now relate, and how sorry I was for not understanding at times. Here's a
excerpt form that email.
*"This was a good learning milestone in my life. I'm not invincible. I
can't do everything, and I'm not indestructible. That does not mean that I
am not intelligent, talented, and versatile. Once in a while I WILL fail.
I just need to understand my limitations, learn from my mistakes and work
within the abilities God has given me. *
* *
*So honey, here's a Jim quote for you. This will be my mission*=85
*I shall not limit myself to "safe" tasks, but rather continue to explore
what God and life has to offer me. Better to fall short in the attempt,
learn from it, and try again than to sit in the corner and tremble in fear
of failure*."
Over the past year, you all on the list have been helpful and a great
encouragement to me; thanks for your friendship. I thought you all would
not mind me sharing this with you.
By the way, I went right back up the next day with an instructor and refine
d
my no flaps landings. Then I practiced them for the next week or so and
passed my next check ride.

Jim,
You certainly gained the right lesson from that failed checkride;
people who fail checkrides on the first try are often good pilots whose
instructor either omitted or underemphasized an important area of their
training. It just means that you get another opportunity to correct
that omission; in my case, it was crosswind landings on my private test
because the instructor often rode the rudders and I didn't realize it.
After the initial disappointment, most realize that it all happens for
the best.
Wishing you a terrific first flight in the very near future, Linda

For those looking for a spraybooth when the time comes go to wallmart or
BJ's and get a car port that they sell. Enclosed you will see my spray
booth and If you get it before you need it, its great for storing parts.
It has a few draw backs, the bugs,spiders,and squriles love it too. Tex

Jim,
Great words and a great way to support your bride and show your love. I
see too many couples that really don't support each other in their work or
"play" activities. A big loss for them. I lost my bride to breast cancer
when she was 42 and she was the kind that was always lending a hand, not only
in
my flying career, but also by helping with my airplane building activities -
even though that Pitts was single seat, she was in the garage helping to get
it completed.
Also appreciated your "first check ride" story and of course Linda's
thoughts on it. She would know - she is one of the best designated FAA check
pilots in Virginia.
Lastly, the entire Lightning community is anxiously awaiting the first
flight of you airplane. Be sure to give us all the details and a future full
write up about your phase one experiences for the newsletter. One of the
most enjoyable things is to open my email list and read that another Lightning
has taken to the air. Two this past week - fantastic - congratulations to
Bill Brown and Wayne Lenox. And lets not forget the first flight on Clive's
Esqual in the UK. The tie in between the Esqual and Lightning airplanes goes
through SYI.
Blue Skies,
Buz
