				Other builders feel free to chime in on support for
 the speed modifications and the gent doing research
 for his thesis.  I for one, would be happy to pay for
 mods to make the Lightning near 200 mph cruise.  I
 just wish the plane was rated to push 300 mph!

  We of Green Landings fame do plan to be at S & F.
   
  Since we market the Sky Ranger and the Lightning, we
  will have a Sky  
  Ranger-Lightning booth in the Ultralight area at Sun
  n Fun.   We will  aim it at the 
  Light-Sport market, even tho we are going faster.
  With the  Lightning 
  performance, we can use the short strip and fly
  during the show...tho  not do demo 
  flights.
   
  It was always our aim to offer the best of aircraft.
    The  SkyRanger 
  outflies anything in its class and the Lightning
  does likewise   (for twice the 
  price!)
   
  Having a high-wing and a low-wing does let us take
  advantage of the  
  overpriced booth spaces.

  Now that John's Lightning is flying, we have 7 in
  the air by my  count, and 
  several more close. Seven and a half counting Buz's 
  Esqual/Lightning.
   
  I suggest it's time to discuss Sun and Fun. Dates
  are 17 to 23  April, so we 
  have some time to plan. The Shelbyville folks will
  be there  of course, with 
  the new demo and/or the protype. I know that Buz
  will be  there. Will John D. 
  and N155LT be ready by then? Are the folks from WV 
  going? I can go if there if 
  its worthwhile to the Marque.One or two days are 
  about all I can stand - but 
  it can be any two days. How about the others  with
  flying birds. I'd like to 
  hear from Pete and Nick on how we can help by  being
  there.
   
  Some suggestions. A formation
  arrival/departure/demonstration flights. A  
  Lightning Corral. A social gathering or seminar(s)
  with potential builders. A  
  group trip up to Fantasy of Flight, maybe we could
  talk Kermit into letting us  
  land there. Now that would be cool. Pete, Nick, how
  can we help with  
  publicity /awareness? 
   
  My 2c worth, anybody else got any suggestions?
