BTW, it would be easy for any regular (not LS) Lightning to cut my record
time in half. Any takers???
Earl is right, the capabilities of the Lightning would allow someone with
foresight, planning, and determination (like Earl) to set another World
Record for the Lightning. And you wouldn't even need to go for his exact
record - just pick any two cities that don't have a current speed record between
them in the category that the Lightning is in, and go for it. I am sure
Earl would be more than willing to add his expertise to the effort to get
you started, explain the required steps, and help with specific details.
Surely someone out there flying a Lightning would like to have their name in
the World Record Book - like World Record Earl.
Earl will be signing autographs at Sun N Fun - free of charge.

If the weather cooperates, next Saturday morning I will be waking up in my
tent at the Lakeland Airport. Yes, my current plan is to fly down to
Florida for Sun N Fun next Friday, the 9th of April, which will give me so
me
time to help with some set up volunteer efforts.
Official start date for Sun N Fun is Tuesday, 13 April, so you still have
plenty of time to arrange your schedule so that you can fly there in your
Lightning. Last year, other that the factory and dealer Lightnings, World
Record Earl was the only Lightning owner to fly to Sun N Fun. In fact, we
had more Esquals in the fly-in parking area than Lightnings (2 Esquals, 1
Lightning). Surely this year will be different. In fact, here is a
challenge; if World Record Earl and I can do it (at our advanced age) why
not you?
It would be great to have a row of Lightnings parked together. The key
to
that is getting there early enough so that the parkers have time to take
you to a specific row. If you arrive at a busy arrival time, getting to
a
specific row will be more difficult. I can save some parking spaces if
I
know when you will arrive, but the earlier the easier. So if you know wh
en
you will be arriving, I'll be there looking for you - like I did for Earl
last year. My cell phone number is: 757-879-5845.
And as long as we are talking about Sun N Fun, mark your schedule so that
you can attend Nick's briefings in the forums area. Nick will be giving
two forums this year - one on opening day (13 April at 1300 in forums then
#11) and another on Friday (16 April at 1300, forums tent #11). Addition
ally,
the annual Lightning get together at the Lightning booth will be Friday,
the 16th at 1100. I am assuming that the Lightning booth will be at the
same area as the last few years. Nick or Mark, please confirm this for
us,
and anything else we need to know as far as supporting your efforts.
Hope to see you there.
Buz
The annual Lightning get together at the Lightning booth will be Friday,
16 April at 1100 or 1130 =93 TBD.

Two years ago I started having seizures on a daily basis. I had hoped
they would go away but it's not going to happen. This is an increasing
problem from injuries received in Vietnam to my brain and spine. I am
thankful I was able to fly for 40 years. I am telling you this so you
will know why I am selling 8WN and other kits & planes I have (Velocity
XL-5 300 hp, and an Ercoupe).
The Lightning 8WN (SN 26) is registered under Light Sport rules, 1320
pounds, since I knew I might not pass a medical. 8WN has 4.5 hours. For
the past 2 years since it has not been flown, I just spend time working
on the plane. It now has 30 gallon tanks, new canopy locking system, and
lots of other changes. Greg Hobbs can fly the time off if you like. The
aircraft is loaded with top of the line avionics, auto pilot, traffic
warning, etc.
For fast sell I set the price at $87,000, about the price of a basic
with built assist. This plane draws a big crowd but it is an easy
repaint if you have other taste. The aircraft had minor damage during a
landing I made while having a seizure. The damage was classified by FAA
as an incident, not an accident. I have pictures of the damage and
everything was replaced/repaired by the book and more. Signed off by A&P
(me).
Home 520 742-5868 cell 520 834-4989. 8WN is located at Greg Hobbs in
Marana. You can also call Greg for any info. I am giving Lighting
family and friends first shot. Johnny Thompson, Marana Az.

All,
I just went to the Sun N Fun web site and checked the forums schedule.
The two Lightning forums are scheduled for 1300 (not 1200) on both opening
day
(Tuesday, 13 April) and Friday, 16 April. Nick is a busy guy, so maybe
that is why he thought the forum time was noon. Either that or he has ha
d
too much fun drinking Tennessee's finest. But do plan to attend both for
ums
and cheer loudly when either Nick or Mark says absolutely anything. If
we
get their egos built up by cheering them on, maybe they will share some
of
that Tennessee white lightning. Or maybe Max will bring some Florida
white lightning. Either way, get happy and have fun.
