Nick told me , he might come around to make some short wingtips with winglet some day, but so far nothing happened. The wingtips of my Lightning(No.89, to be completed spring 2012) are painted and all, but I am ready to spend some time and some bucks if somebody makes them. Maybe even not with those rather short winglets like the LSA, but longer , i.e. higher ones!Have you all seen the letast 757/767s? So, Arion and all the others! Give it a go!

No major problems, maybe a little heavy on the left wing. I know I missed out on the 100th first flight. May be I can claim "Last ,First Flight of 2011"??
