    Subject: First Flight!
    The first Lightning built in Germany, D-ELIY , kit no.89, made its maiden flight today in the blue evening skies of Upper Hesse, after a construction time of 2 years and 8 months including 4 months waiting for hangar space and a test/evaluation/certification period of 3 months. D-ELIY, as you might have read in earlier postings, is not only the first Lightning throughout Western Europe, but also the first one powered by a Belgian ULPower engine driving a 3blade CS prop. The flight lasted 40 minutes and ended with a landing (that wasn`t even too bad!) at the EDFL / Giessen-Luetzellinden airfield . Engine and prop performed ok . Engine temps were a bit on the warm side but in limits, with OAT above 30C / 85F. It is too early to judge the performance of the new drive, but the first impression is positive. 2600rpm / 25inHg resulted in almost 130 KIAS without the wheel pants. Gerd
