After a long hiatus from flying due to numerous issues, I'm back. I flew for the
first time last week since March 31! It turns out I hadn't forgotten how.
In any case, I've just moved to my new airport home with a hanger, and I'm finally
in a position to start working on my list of things to make my Lightning the
plane I want it to be.
Top of the list is the short wing tips. Having flown the plane with short and
long wingtips, I much preferred the handling with the short wingtips. but the
rounded and tapered tips are about the worst design possible from a drag stand
point.
So I'm firing this out into the list. First, any news from the factory on short
wing tips with the mini-winglet? Second, anyone tried some simple blocked off
tips like what's on a Malibu? If I make my own I'm going to go that route
for simplicity.
Anyone flying through the DFW area email me at bill@gdsx.com and plan a stop at
F69 and I'll be happy to meet another Lightning driver. After wanting to live
on an airport for 20 years, I'm finally there.
Bill
