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.
