Beautiful flight from Virginia to central Florida yesterday. Actually had
a tailwind from KJGG to my rest stop in KTBR (Statesboro, GA), then cross
wind from there on into KLAL.
I was the 2nd homebuilt here (an RV-8 was tying down as I taxied in) but
the homebuilt parking area was not manned. In fact the walk through gate is
locked up. Thanks goodness I had friends already here from the vintage
area to pick me up with a golf cart. I will see if the homebuilt area is
manned today to check on reserved parking for Lightnings. But if you get here
today, just head for the homebuilt parking and look for N31BZ right in
front of their building - exactly the same spot I have parked in several times
before.
Vintage area has about eight aircraft already here and the entire SNF area
is coming alive with lots of activity. Hurry on down.
Buz

I think it was probably a Pulsar as the Esqual has no rear windows. Brian

Due to the economic situation in general and particularly my own, I am
reluctantly considering selling my Lightning kit.
The kit was delivered January 2008 and includes the new style canopy and
latch, new style instrument panel, and elevator horn with the 3 bolt
attachment pattern. It has the later, longer engine mount which I
believe
contributes to reduced pitch sensitivity.
Options included are tinted canopy, canopy windows (sliding type) both
sides, 30 (2x15) gallon tanks, dual brakes, cabin heat, polished spinner
for
fixed pitch prop, steps both sides and standard wingtips.
The work done to date (approx. 75 hours) is detailed here:
http://www.mykitlog.com/cojaken
I have been working mostly on the principle of not buying things until
they
are needed, so there is no engine, electric trim system, wheel pants,
interior or instruments. These are all available from Arion, as are
extended
wingtips.
I am selling for 10% less than my cost ($36,014), that is $32,400. Buyer
collects. Just think, if I had saved the money in my 401k instead, I
would
have lost 50% :-)
If anyone is interested, please send contact information to cjk129 at
cox.net (didn't want to use the "@" and invite lots of automated spam!)
and
I will call you. I would be very comfortable with you coming to inspect
and
inventory the kit before making a commitment. I am about 15 minutes from
Tulsa airport in Oklahoma.
I am still an enthusiast and hope one day to own another Lightning, but
unfortunately that day may have to wait!
Colin K.
OK
Lightning # 52 under construction.
