Greetings everyone
I received Kit #65 in August of 2008. Last Thursday 27 March 2014 it took
off on its first flight from runway 23 at Serpentine, Western Australia.
Peter Mitchell (Lightning owner) kindly piloted the first flight for me.
After a quick 10 minute shake-down he landed to pick me up (to act as flight
test information recorder - as is permitted in Australia). A few bugs to
fix, but overall it flew beautifully ...
A big thanks to the guys at the Arion factory who answered all build
questions promptly, to Dennis B in SA, and Ed S & Peter T (Lightning owner)
at the Sports Aircraft Builders Club in Serpentine.
Cheers!

Thanks for the positive comments everyone - greatly appreciated! When I have debugged
everything and finished my flight testing I'll start some touring around
Western Australia, then across Australia - and I'll send some flight photos
though.
Kindest regards

It greatly improved the handling in particular the stability during landings.
It did not make a noticeable reduction in handling or airspeed. I highly recommend
it. Gary Barnett ELSA N 335AL. SN 133

Hi Larry,
Finished the conversion about 9 months ago and it has made the aircraft
even more pleasurable to fly. Dynamic stability during landings and in
flight is positively effected. I can comfortably recommend the mod.
Kind regards,
Ron Ritchie
