Group=2C
The Lightning Sport LS-1 Flew for the first time on Saturday under a R&D ce
rtificate. Aircraft performed as expected=2C hands off=2C with minor tuning
adjustment to the carby. Initial stall test show a clean stall of 36knts @
1220 pounds=2C so under 45knts should no be a problem with another 100lbs o
n board. Will keep ya=92ll updated and should see the FAA on Wednesday for
final S-LSA approval.

Well done guys. This begs the question, what does S-LSA get with regards
to European certification?
It would be great to see some Lightings flying over this side of the
pond. With the dollar-Euro rate they would be very competitive....
Best Regards, Clive

Subject: | Rudder Pedals + Hanging like a bat |
Extracted the pedals from the aircraft yesterday and photographed the
problem. Already have pictures from Nick on the reinforcing solution.
All Esqual owners that haven't done the mod please note.
Other picture shows the easy access afforded with the plane fuse hanging
from the roof. Got this idea from some Arion pics and use it last time I
had the engine off.
Other work involves putting 1.5 degrees on the stabiliser, this I hope
will increase the stability which is a prerequisite for a UK permit.
Thanks again to Nick for this suggestion.
Currently the plane doesn't recover from an induced push forward. Mind
you, it doesn't accelerate the dive toward the ground as it did with the
bungee trim. It settled into a 125 knot dive on the last test.
So moving forward and now ready to fit the new parts and turn it the
right way up again!
I've ordered the LS parts as well, cause, in the words of my beloved
wife, 'I just can't stop spending money on that thing'...........:-)

Yes
I have a lady in Tennessee that has the logo and does nice work. You ca
n send her your shirts or she can order shirts for you. I use lands end
shirts and send them to her. She will put your N number on the shirt i
f you like. Not sure about hats. My wife made up a jean shirt with our
Lightning on the back, it came out great. If you like send me a person
al email and I will send Robins address and phone.

To all,
Regarding AVN100's questions:
1. Unfortunately, no. Our Demo LSA will be on display at the Light Sport
Mall at the entrance to Sun n Fun. Once there it has to stay there. Since
this is the only LSA Lightning at the moment we won't have one on the
"flight line" for demo rides. Everyone is always welcome to visit us here in
Shelbyville for a demo ride.
3. We just have to see what the customer wants. We can sell the kit as it
stands right now (as packaged for the Experimental AB market) all the way up
to "turn key". It will all depend on the customer and to what level of
completion they would like to receive their kit.
4. Never say never but for the near future this is not one of our goals.
We look forward to seeing everyone at Sun n Fun and finally putting faces
with the names we see here on the list. Also, don't forget about the
Lightning gathering at noon on Friday.
See you at "Spring Break for Pilots"!

Nick=2C Through flight testing I predict that you should see a clean stal
l speed at 1320 lbs. of about 37.5 knots. =3B-) With Flaps 30 you probabl
y saw about 10 or closer to 15 knots less? We never flight tested with fla
ps 40 during my flights=2C but it is my belief that 40 would be mostly drag
and not so much lift at that point. Brian W.
