Johnny, You can get this from Green Sky adventures, I think they have a web site to order from. Seems to work well so far. nick _____ From: owner-lightning-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-lightning-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Johnny Thompson Sent: Thursday, June 18, 2009 1:43 PM Subject: Re: Lightning-List: Leanable mixture control for jabiru engine. Hi Nick Sounds good. Which kit is installed on the Lightning? Does the 4' length work of do you order longer? What jets were you using? Thanks. Ready to order today. Johnny ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:43:40 AM PST US From: N1BZRich@aol.com Subject: Re: Lightning-List: Leanable mixture control for jabiru engine. Johnny (or anyone else that might try this system), This system certainly sounds interesting as all the fuel flow testing I did some time ago seemed to point to the fact that the higher you go, the less efficient the Bing auto leaning set up worked. Since most of my cross countries are up in the 8,000 to 10,000 foot range, I can certainly see the benefits of being able to manually lean the Bing carb. If most of your flying is below 5,000, then I am not as sure it would be all that beneficial. So, if Johnny or anyone on the Lightning list installs this system on your jet, all of us could benefit from your test results. I would certainly like to have someone do an article on the installation of this system and the flight test fuel flow test results. Would be great info for our Lightning newsletter.

Buz, I would agree that below say 5k that it may not do much for a properly jetted carb. However at altitude it seems to do a great deal. Out on the west coast where you may from time to time climb to 12 or 14k for going over the mountains this would do the trick, Or if you live at high altitude already. I think you could get your main jet correct and than get close with the needle jet for normal flight altitude and than use this to compensate on cross countries.

Yes, I'll fly at 10,000 and land at 6,000 DA on a cool day. What I needed NIck was the cable length that you use on the Lightning you built. The standard is 4' but they will add as you need. Do you remember what you installed?
