I often get request for pictures from others that just want to see what all the noise is about. I like to carry pictures or a DVD to show off the aircraft when on trips. I would like to create a DVD of every lightning possible and also make calendars, etc. that will aid our dealers is selling the plane to others. If I make a DVD of our owners & airplanes I could inclued owners pictures and pictures of others planes (hot rods, bikes, cars etc). Please email me pictures of your aircraft, at least two exterior shots and two interior along with information on the aircraft. PLEASE send them to me direct, not through matronics. I would prefer about 5 mb size or as large as your camera will allow, do not down size for mailing. If 3 to 5 mb each sent one at a time otherwise if smaller send 2 at a time. If anyone that is going to S&F with a quality camera please send me photos. Take care to find a pleasing background. Lets see what we can do.

Hey World Record Earl, You have done a lot with your extensive efforts that resulted in the Lightning's world record. I am sure it is the only SLSA with a world rec ord in its history. So, how about another record? West to east this time? Or you could trace the route of Santa or the Easter Bunny as they make th eir yearly rounds. Just a thought, your mileage may vary.

I hope you get great response from all Lightning builder s and flyers. At one time, Nick, Ben and I talked about a DVD that could be shown in the airplane when it was on display at airshows. A small DVD player either mounted in the panel or sitting on the dash could not only show photos of Lightnings and the building process, but could have a flying video to show inflight cockpit shots, formation film (Brian was going to film that), and flybys made from the ground. Of course, with their busy schedule, this never got further than "skunk work" talks when the "works" team was having a brew or two. I have quite a few photos in the newsletter files that I will be gla d to share if you need them. So once this project gets under way, let me know if you are missing someone's photos, and I will check the files to see if I have a photo or two of a particular airplane.

One of the best things we can do to spread the word is to show up at Sun n Fun and Oshkosh and show our planes off. If we can get 4 or 5 Lightnings parked in the homebuilt area I think we'd have a great showing! If we're lucky maybe we can get a row started. Buz, you'll be there first - can you ask?

Also, I am sure everyone realizes that during th e flyin, at times the number of arriving aircraft can get overwhelming and parking crews do their best just to get everyone safely parked. If you arrive at one of these busy times, you may find yourself parked next to a "belchfire 400" instead of where you want to be. If that is the case, you may be able to move later when things settle down. If you see several Lightning in a parking row, walk there and save yourself a spot and move your aircraft later.

As of yesterday their plan was flying to Lakeland on Saturday, setting up on Sunday, and probably visiting Fantasy of Flight on Monday. So I will attempt to answer your email based on what I have on the subject. The "copy" below is right from the POH for the LS-1, but of course may have changed before it actually went to press. But for now it will give you an idea of what will be standard and what will be optional on the SLSA Lightning. As to changes down the road, after a buyer owns the aircraft, it will likely be treated just like any other "certified" aircraft wanting or needing an avionics change - work done and signed off by an appropriate IA and/or avionics shop.

Blue Skies, Buz Buz, Why don't you call my wife and discuss this idea. Be sure to mention funding. You've met Susan, so you don't need an intro. 404-351-5256 (H). Seriously, we need to lobby the NAA (sanctioning body) for a Light Sport record category. Meanwhile there are tons of possible speed records - pick a pair of airports or nav facilities at least 249 sm apart and get a record for speed over a recognized course.. I came close to the class C-1a weigh t limit of 1103 lbs take off, but some of the later light sport Lightnings are lighter than N17EF, and could make it easily with a slim pilot (I weighte d 155 lbs at the time). Non LSAs can go for records in the C-1b class (up to 2205 lbs). OK hot-rodders, who's up to the challenge?

I often get request for pictures from others that just want to see what all the noise is about. I like to carry pictures or a DVD to sh ow off the aircraft when on trips. I would like to create a DVD of every lightning possible and also make calendars, etc. that will aid our dealer s is selling the plane to others. If I make a DVD of our owners & airplanes I could inclued owners pictures and pictures of others planes (hot rods, bi kes, cars etc). Please email me pictures of your aircraft, at least two exterior shots an d two interior along with information on the aircraft. PLEASE send them to me direct, not through matronics. I would prefer about 5 mb size or as large as your camera will allow, do not down size for mailing. If 3 to 5 mb each sent one at a time otherwise if smaller send 2 at a tim e. If anyone that is going to S&F with a quality camera please send me photos. Take care to find a pleasing background. Lets see what we can do.

I also need to buy the tape (in white) to seal the gap where the wing meets the fuselage. Can anyone tell me the name of the recommended tape for there. THx, CD I've got the Infinity stick grips on my RV-8 and love them. I've got the buttons as follows: Trigger = PTT Center Coolie Hat = Elev/Ail Trim Left Top Toggle = Flaps Right Top Green Push = Starter Left Thumb Push = Autopilot Engage/Disengage Pinky Push = VP-200/EFIS Ack Button Pinky Pull = EFIS Page Swapping JD at Infinity is great to work with and he will go to great lengths to get the button configuration that just right for your installation and personal needs. Basically, he can put any kind of button in any position. The grips feel good in your hand and all button access is easy and intuitive. Highly recommend. I've included a wad of photos from my wiring and installation for reference.

Sure, I will do that.- I would probably have more "pull" if we were allow ed to park in the Vintage area, but I will talk to the homebuilt parking cr ew when I arrive at SNF tomorrow afternoon.-- So if you are going to fl y to SNF, let me know today so I can give them an idea of how many airplane s we are talking about.- The more airplanes we have, the more likely they are to listen to this request.- Also, I am sure everyone realizes that d uring the flyin, at times-the number of arriving aircraft can get overwhe lming and parking crews do their best just to get everyone safely parked. - If you arrive at one of these busy times, you may find yourself parked next to a "belchfire 400"- instead of where you want to be.- If that is the case, you may be able to move later when things settle down.- If you see several Lightning in a parking row, walk there and save yourself a spo t and move your aircraft later.- Also be advised, all of the parking crew are volunteers and they get lots of "strange" request at times.- Some of the crew are more "friendly" and some can be, well, not so accommodating, so t o speak.- But we shall see.- Lets have a great turn out.- See you the re.
