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.
