Subject: Lightning-List: 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.
