The 1/8th scale prototype Tail wheel Lightning flew for the first time
today. Performance was as jet like.
Cross wind capability is great winds are 220 at 8knts, that comes out
be a scale wind of 64knts!
Not bad..of course is was doing about 60knts true in flight and that
would be 480knts scale.little out of the LSA limit.

Subject: | Progress on UK Esqual permit...Esqual hours flown needed |
please.
Hi, apologies to Lightning folk I need to borrow the list for an Esqual
request.
I need to collect an updated total of the hours flow by Esqual's around
the world.
I flew my Esqual to the LAA headquarters in Southern England on Monday.
The Chief engineer flew the plane to see if I had corrected the areas he
felt needed improvement and the good news is he was happy with the way
the aircraft flew.
There are pitch stability issues with some Esquals and also he wasn't
happy with the lack of stall warning from the aircraft.
I fitted a aero trim system ala Lightning to get rid of the bungees,
adjusted the tail plane incidence and fitted stall strips to the wings
(thanks for Arion's tip on the tailplane).
What I need to collate now is an accurate record of hours flown by
Esqual's around the world to back up the application for a UK permit.
With a large number of aircraft successfully flying with no structural
issues it helps with the type acceptance.
The aircraft is currently on a Dutch Experimental permit but this
restricts being able to fly it when I like.
I have contacted many Esqual owners direct though E mail addresses may
be out of date or aircraft have maybe changed hands.
Any info on Esquals would be much appreciated and will only be used to
share with the LAA engineering to back up my permit application.
Info required:
Airframe serial number
Hours flown
Tail number/ Registration.
Many thanks, Regards, Clive
Esqual LS 3300 in the UK (the only one!).

Tex,
Put brushless in it or at least a 3 cell lipo, underpowered with the
stock gearbox and brushed motor.

Nick, I have the same kit but have not finished it yet. I will be doing
it with the nose gear and in my colors. Hope to have it done by this
fall. Tex

Great Nick, glad you are making progress on the tail dragger version you
have been working on for so long. Once you have completed phase one
testing on the scale tail dragger, it should accelerate development of
the full size model. And the electric power of the RC model should
scale up nicely also for the full scale Lightning. With the price of
fuel (both mogas and 100LL) continuing to increase, your work on these
future Lightning options will certainly be timely. Are you still
planning to make the official announcement on the above things on 1
April - at Sun N Fun?
Blue Skies,
Buz
