Hi Tex,
Yes, the list has been rather quiet recently. Certainly not as
enthusiastic chatter as it once was. Perhaps a sign of the economic times. I
know I did not fly as much in 2011 as I have in previous years. Lets hope we
get a major turn around soon. I also have missed the Lightning list
comradery and regular updates as to what others and the factory guys have been
doing. Your email may just be the spark that gets things going again. Lets
hope so.
I had hoped to be a Sebring this year, but just too much going on this
month. But I still plan to be at Sun N Fun, Sentimental Journey, and
Oshkosh.
Blue Skies,
Buz

Well folks, I went to Green Landings Flight Center last week to get some tr
ansition training (more on this later) and fly my Jet home to Sebastian. I
am currently in Danville, VA waiting for weather to clear. I flew out of
Green Landings on Tuesday morning just after the fog lifted and headed Sout
h to Low Country Regional (RBW). I have XM weather on a Garmin 510 and the
weather in South Carolina did not look like it was clearing as forecast.
So, I landed in Danville to take a potty break, get fuel and check the weat
her in more detail. The fog never lifted in South Carolina and did not loo
k like it was going to lift before the rain came in from the West. I know
the folks in Danville fairly well and was able to get my plane in a hangar.
I am not sure I would have been able to do that if I had flown on to some
where in North Carolina. So, I got a rental car and a hotel room right nex
t to the airport.
The weather is clearing today, but the forecast winds along my route are 10
- 15kts gusting 25 to 30kts. Winds aloft are pretty high, too. I think I
'll stay here until they get better. Probably Saturday since there is anot
her front coming through tomorrow. Attached are a couple of pictures, one
is on the way, somewhere near Lynchburg, VA and the other is on the ground
in Danville.
Now for the transition training plan. My wife, Donna is a CFII and teaches
at Florida Tech in the College of Aeronautics. She developed a transition
training plan for me to get comfortable with the plane and be able to fly
it safely. As we know, the Lightning does not fly like a Cessna or Piper a
nd takes a little bit to get used to the pitch control. The transition pla
n provided for a lot of climbs, decents, cruise at different power settings
, practice patterns at altitude, slow flight, stalls, etc. before you do th
e landings. You also need to get one nights sleep before you finish the la
nding portion. This is actually very helpful because your brain processes
things while you sleep. Anyway, it worked for me and the plan took 4 fligh
ts to complete. You may be able to do it in 3 flights, but because of the
timing, mine took 4.
Have a wonderful day,
Dennis

Hi guys, I'm usually not to chatty I think this is the second time I have
ever said anything here but I think this is worth mentioning. I have term
life insurance that locks the price for ten years. Well mine came up for
renewal and during the previous ten years I built and have been flying my
Lightning. My renewal premium went ballistic to the point I was thinking
about selling the Lightning and just flying the Maule. But I found this guy
Alan S. Daniel. His premium was half of any of the insurance company's I
looked at. If anyone is interested he e-mail is alan@danielagency.com
It is finally snowing here in Wisconsin, I'm putting skis and going ski
flying.

Hi Wayne, glad to hear your Lightning is going good. Be carefull that
your wife dont take it over when she finds out how nice it is. How about
posting that training plan on the newsletter as we are always learning
new things even with lots of hours under our belt. Old dogs CAN learn
new tricks.
