				It is great to see  multiple Lightnings being completed and flown. 
   
  I was at Osh in  20005 and met Buzz, Tex and Dave among others. That is when several of us  went from being Esqual wannabees to Lightning wannabees.
   
  I was very close to  ordering a Lightning last summer, but realising my inexperience with building, I  decided to wait. I am interested in building at home rather than using the  builders' assist program.
   
  What is te status of  the build manual now Pete/Nick? Will it be published on the Internet soon, as  you used to publish the Esqual builders' manual?
   
  I found this to  be a great motivator!
   
  It is also great to  hear that the demonstrator is nearing completion. When it is available, I will  schedule a trip to Shelbyville.

				Hi Colin,
      Nick showed me the Lightning build manual  again while I was here this week and it looks great.  A while back I  did some editing on it and made a few suggestions such as "use lots of photos"  which they have done.  Overall I think it will be one of the most  comprehensive build manuals in the home built world.  I look back to the  information I had when I built my Pitts, and marvel at how much better things  will be with this type of build manual.  The few guys building Lightnings  now on their own have been sent sections of the manual as they  becomes available and they are providing suggestions as to how to improve it as  well.  So what you will get will be a thorough "how to do it" manual  that lays out what to do, how to do it, and in what order it should be  done, with lots of photos to help explain the processes.  With the builders  manual you will have the benefit of the expertise of the builder's assist  team plus the experience of other builders that have "been there, done  that".  Overall, a great combination of information.
  Blue Skies,
  Buz

				The build manual is written and with help from builders using it and calls to us to update i think it will be very user friendly. It is good now i think ,but after stairing at it for 6 months some things just disappear from my eyeballs. I will see if we can get it on the web page for all to read.

				Thanks  Nick. That's great.
   
  As I  said, reading the Esqual manual was a great motivator at the time and I'm sure  the Lightning manual will be even more so!
