Lightning aircraft west has two lightnings under construct with the gen 4
engine, but haven't flown yet. We have several of the new ground
adjustable propellers. We set the static run at 2650 and at 2850 we get
140 kts

Can you tell me what RPM you're turning at that speed? I assume the 140k is
TAS, not IAS...?
Also, is that in a plane being registered as S-LSA or at least as EAB/LSA
compliant? If so, you have very firmly captured my attention. I'm flying a
Pulsar III with Jabiru 2200 and cruise @ 150 MPH TAS. I forget what RPM is
right now but I'm fairly impressed with this performance from the
airframe/85HP powerplant combination. I have been considering the Lighting
as my next LSA-Compliant plane with the goal of having as much
performance/payload/comfort/durability and sporty handling as possible from
a design accepted as LSA-Compliant. In other words, if I could attain my
Private certificate, I'd be flying a Lancair, Glasair or Tango.
