New Stinson 108-1 owner....anyone else out there?

Congratulations Jim! Thanks for keeping all of us posted during your build. If you need to fly off some of those hours, bring her down to Culpeper, VA (CJR) sometime.

Sorry to hear you have to sell your lightning. She sure is a beauty!

I too, am sorry to hear that you have to sell. I just took a look at your airplane on Barnstormers. What a great looking aircraft...it sure looks like you put a lot of time and heart into it. If I had ...

I want that, too! Good job Buddy and Ryan.

I thought it would be nice to mention what features are in Buddy's Lightning, maybe something for new customers to think about.

Jim, I have been watching your progress from a far. I think you have made tremendous progress and am looking forward to reading about your first flight. Perhaps to put into perspective...thing about a ...

Very nice, Jim...very nice, indeed!

I just wanted to update you all to the fact that I am in the home stretch. Thanks to Ryan and the Green Landings crew for being patient with me being a ...

Charles,

I think I saw your Lightning. I was up at Green Landings a few months ago for a demo flight and there was a Lightning up there that had BRS resently installed. I remember asking Ryan about ...

Hey Buz,

I am in Virginia, based at CJR and would love to see your airplane. I did a short demo of a Lightning about a month ago at Green Landings and really enjoyed it. Where are you based?

-Ri ...

Thanks for the reply, everyone. The prohibitive cost explanations do make since.

That sure is a pretty airplane, Clive!

I read the 2003 EAA article, that someone posted the link too, about he Esqual. If I remember correctly, it says that you can get it in either fiber glass or carbon fiber and that the carbon fiber mod ...

Wow! Very nice...would like to see some more pics of the interior, if you get a chance.

Interesting that you mentioned the manual trim wheel. When I went up to Green Landings for a demo flight with Ryan, we both agreed that we would like a manual trim wheel, too....well I should not spea ...

No he Esqual wasn't there; at least I didn't see it.

Jim, I don't know if it was a Dynons or not. I have to admit that I really know nothing about electronic panels. I fly a 1972 Piper Cherokee and ...

Jim,

I really liked it. I thought it was a fast and nimble little airplane. The one I flew in had a glass panel. It was somewhat difficult to see from the right seat, in the bright sunlight. I gues ...

Hey Jim,

That is going to be one fancy paint job. I was up at Green Landings last week to talk with Ryan and take a quick demo flight. I saw your project while I was up there. It looks like it is c ...

Jim,

Good job on the web site, thus far. I appreciated you posting your reasons for choosing the Lightning...very much like my own thoughts. I will be stopping by often to follow your progress.

Hey Jim,

Sorry I did not make it. I was on a short leash. The weather was kind of iffy in the morning at Culpeper. So by the time I got up in the air I didn't have enought time to get up there and ...

Thanks guys, I just might do that. Lets see what the weather does.

Are any Virginia based Lightnings flying this Saturday? I sure would like to see a Lightning up close. I am based at CJR (Culpeper) with a Cherokee and will be flying Saturday morning barring any weat ...
