They can be cut to a specific length and will go around most mild corners. I believe we have them in stock however they can be purchased from Aircraft spruce.

I would love to modify my Lightning that way. I was finally able to solo my little bird last week and have had three days were I was able to take up and play. 52 over the numbers and keeping from landing until it settles works well, no more bounce. Mike Ryan N1976N _____ From: N1BZRich@AOL.COM Subject: Re: Lightning-List: left hand throttle Hi George, I totally agree, most of my 8,000 hours of flying time is with the stick in the right hand and the throttle in the left, so that is the way I set up my cockpit back in 2005 when building N31BZ - photo below. I just added the same type of throttle on the left and routed it through the firewall to connect to the carb right next to the other throttle push/pull cable. It has worked great for over 800 hours.

Most people will arrive on the afternoon of Friday, 4 October, and depart Sunday the 6th. Friday evening will probably be hangar activities like a cookout and creeper races and maybe even some beer tasting. Of course the big day for activities (probably a breakfast fly out, the annual air race, and other flying events plus various Lightning briefings) will be Saturday. Saturday evening is normally a get together at a local restaurant in Bell Buckle. It is always a great event with a chance to meet others from the Lightning community, fly demo flights, and get the latest info from the factory guys.

I would like to add that we will be introducing 2 new games to the evening activities. We had an evening out at EAA at Ricks place (Custom fiberglass) and found these to be a hoot. One will be an oversized version of Jenga, a block stacking game. When I mean oversized I mean play on the hangar floor and get out of the way when it falls. The Other will be "Thunder Cups" this involves some of our favorite drinking tools , solo cups, some fiberglass rods and a Frisbee. This is a team game, don't ask how to play I cant explain just show up and find out. Other wise we will have all the normal activities and flying fun.
