I  finally jumped.

  

 I'm  expecting the kit to be delivered to my home by the end of  November.

  

 I  chose dual brakes, cabin heat, dual steps, tinted canopy and long range tanks  (30 gal.) Mark is helping me arrange to have sliding rather than hinged canopy  windows, like on Buz' Esqual LS. So that is something new for the Lightning. I  have ordered the chromed spinner for the ground adjustable composite prop, to  get the with-kit price, although I will be ordering the engine and prop at a  later date.

  

 At  some stage late in the build I will decide LSA compatible or not, and hopefully  by that time, extended wing tips will also be an option.

  

 Thanks  all on this list and at Arion, for your help in providing the information and  sharing your experience to get me this far.

  

 Let  the fun begin!

Ops, that last message got sent before I was ready to send it.   What I wanted to add, Colin, was that yes, the fun part is starting.  My  recommendation is to study up on the build manual while you are waiting for your  kit to arrive.  And if you get tired doing that, work on your panel layout  and paint scheme.  Lots of fun things to occupy your time.  Again,  congratulations on your decision to go with the Lightning.  I feel  confident you will end up with an airplane you will love to fly and be seen  in.  It is a beautiful design.

 Blue Skies,

 Buz

Thanks for this Buz. I have been and  will continue to study the build manual. I am thinking about the panel too. I am  interested to take a closer look at the Trutrak EFIS when it becomes available,  but absolutely nothing is decided yet.

  

 I took the line drawings from the Arion  website and pasted the three views onto one page in a Word document (file  attached). Now my kids have multiple copies to work on with their coloring  pencils, but I have the right of veto!
