Tex Tex, A condition inspection check list (experimental aircraft do conditions inspections on an annual basis) is in one of the previous newsletters. But so you don't have to look for it (sorry we don't have an index of info/articles - hint to list readers, we need someone to do that) I will put it below. Or the EAA web site has one that covers any experimental. I think Linda Mathias developed the one below specifically for the Lightning based on the one published by EAA.
