Subject: | September Lightning Newsletter |
All,
The September Lightning Newsletter, Issue 2-9, is now posted on the
Lightning web site as well as Jim Langley's site. To read and/or download
the newsletter go to either:

This months newsletter features a great travelogue on a trip to Idaho
with some super photos by Dick Cleavinger who flies out of Boulder,
Colorado. There is also a flight report on the new ASTM-certified LS-1 Lightning.
Besides the normal flight report info it includes a short write up on the
HACman mixture control leaning system that I found easy to use and
effective at saving fuel.
Then of course there are all the other items that are normally in each
issue including an interesting safety "fix" that Bear sent in. You can
also read more about Steve Hacker's father / daughters Lightning building
project.
As always, any and all suggestions and recommendations are
appreciated. Recently it seems to be as hard as pulling teeth to get inputs from
you
guys, but I am assuming that is because everyone is either taking advantage
of the summer flying season or you are in your shop making great progress
on your Lighting.
One last comment. Every year Nick and Mark and the entire Lightning
gang go to great effort to plan, organize and put on a Lightning Fly-In for
all of us. And please understand that the event if for everyone that is
interested in the Lightning. This is your chance to meet other builders and
flyers, to ask questions, see the factory and the kits first hand, and of
course to get a demo flight in the Lightning. There are even going to be
some new events this year - a speed dash race for Lightnings flyers and
several types of creeper races for everyone. So bring your "racing" creeper or
just use one that they have there and show everyone just how really fast
your are on a creeper. There will also be several informative briefings
presented - update on Lightning information, one on Formation flying, and one
on how to beat world record Earl's world record. So far, that one is
classified above top secret. Time and weather permitting we will even have some
in-flight formation training flights.
So start planning now to be in Shelbyville, Tennessee, on 25 and 26
September.
Blue Skies,
Buz
