Subject: Lightning-List: Lightning XS nears first flight
We are awaiting our inspection for N320XS the first Lightning XS to be buil
t.
All systems are working properly and we have about an hour of taxing around
.
Made our first full power run today on the runway and i am very happy to re
port
that directional control if very easy and little rudder input is required t
o
track straight. The prop is bigger yes but the prop disc is 7" closer to th
e cg,
this coupled with the correct offset make for good takeoff tracking.
I can tell you that bringing up 160hp on a 1,000lb airframe is a kick in th
e
pants for sure.
