I think enough has been said about where we are at ( it is a fact that we have a Super Wal-mart and a Ruby tuesdays) but the fact that the lifht prices Have gone up to find deeper pockets is very unreasonable. The original price was 25,900 intro with an increase to 29,900 afetr 5 airframes were sold. This stayed very much the same until the first of 2007 when we went to 33,900. Again this price increase was not for more money but to provide the builder with a better kit, among the improvments are Powder coated metal parts, formed rear windows, and among other items moderate retooling of the molds to provide a better fit and finish, something which could be accomplish before but took a bit more time. I can assure you that no other engine but the 3300 jabiru has ever been considered by Arion Aircraft, but that a builder is more than welcome to use what they like up front, we can not gurantee the performance nor would i tell you if the supporting structures could handle a different powerplant, but that is the beauty of an Experimental aircraft.

Jerry,
Would you share with us:
How are you getting on with your build? How is the build manual and the completeness of the kit?
Are there any aspects that you have found particularly challenging?
What is your prognosis for the total hours to finish?
Best regards
Colin K.
OK

Hello, Tex. I am building a lightning at home, but unfortunately can not
make Oshkosh this year. I have been working on my kit for about a year, and
hope to fly by the end of 2007. I would be happy to exchange experiences
with other homebuilders - sorry it can not be at Oshkosh, but hope to show
you my Lightning in person next year.
