Buz, Thanks for the update.I have been watching the AVweb videos for additi
onal information.So far they have featured the Kitfox and Navigator 600 fro
m Poland.However,I want to see the factory built Lightning being introduced
at SNF. As a result,I sent a message this morning to the AVweb Editor requ
esting coverage. Maybe some other Lightning fans can do like wise and email
the Editor today. It will be a loss for the folks that wanted to be at SNF
this year but will not- be able to get a visual and details on this new
entry to a factory built LSA. - Rgs.,CRG
