All,

     Nick was hard at work today putting more test hours  on the new Demo.  When I arrived at the hangar just a little after 7 AM he  was already in the cockpit with the engine running.  Even though we had  light rain, he flew another test profile while the ceiling was high  enough.  This afternoon the rain left and the weather improved and he flew  several more test flights.  On one of those flights we briefed a short  formation sortie so that I could get some airborne shots, one of which is  below.  It really looks great in the air even though the wheel pants are  not on yet.  They have been fitted and will likely go to the paint shop  tomorrow.  

 Blue skies,

 Buz

Hi,



Were you flying the prototype when you took this picture?  If so, it must be the new wingtips being tested that we see on your wing.

 No, Yho, the photo was made by a friend of Nick's in an RV-6A.  I am  on Nick's wing in my airplane with the slightly modified Esqual wing  tips.  The new Lightning tips are supposed to arrive via UPS later this  week and be on display at SNF.  I have not seen them yet - only the  renderings from the Cad program that I put in the newsletter.  Flight  testing will begin on them sometime after SNF.  

  

 Look at the new demo to see what is missing from previous airborne  shots.  

 Blue Skies,

 Buz
