It's great to see the Lightning has arrived in Europe Gerd. I do wonder
if it's time for a few more LSA type aircraft to come the other way (US
to Europe)
The Europeans and producing a lot of different types in the class and
the good thing is from what I've seen there is no speed restriction.
What we do need over here is a harmonised LSA type category but the EASA
(European CAA) are making a right pigs breakfast of everything they get
involved with so for now it's just countries with 'experimental'
available that can build planes like the lightning.

Hi Bear,
thank you for the friendly welcome!
I just finished the first cutouts from chapter 1/ fuselage prep. and
while looking forward to the building I some how wish, I`d already be
flying like you!
Gerd
Welcome to the group. I'm sure you'll love the building of your
Lightning. My kit was No. 74. I just finished my 1st annual condition
inspection...Seems hard to believe it's already been a year. alot of
fun flying it.
Good luck and keep us posted...

Another Lightning took to the skies on wednesday 11, taking off
at Chicago O`Hare airport to fly nonstop all the way to Frankfurt Rhein
Main A/P.
Not on its own wings, though, but in a crate aboard a MD11
Freighter of Lufthansa Cargo. It arrived safely , sits now in front of
my garage in Linden near Giessen and waits to be assembled in the spare
time I can find in the months( or years) to come.
My name is Gerd (pronounced Garret) Nowack , age 54 and I have
been an active pilot, private and professional, since 1976.
So here are my greetings from Germany as a new member of the
Lightning list!
Gerd
