Hi James
Yes, the Lightning has made it to Europe, so after the initial
Evaluation by the OUV(the german EAA) for my project is completed (
which should be thae case within the next few days. I hope)
Aircraft builders from other european countries can make use of this for
their certification process.
I`ve given up waiting for a European LSA solution and decided to go
ahead now, since I have a PPL and a medical .
No speed limit for my Lightning!
