Hi to all you people on the Lightning  List,

 The first Lighting Aircraft to fly in Australia  flew this morning at 8am (27/10/07)  It flew beautifully, so push on with  the building

 the end result is well worth it.

 

Regards, Dennis Borchardt.

		   Dennis,

    Thanks for the pics and update!  This is a real milestone and kind of symbolic considering the plane wouldn't/couldn't be what it is without the engine, which, comes from Australia!  That is one beautiful paint job too.  Can you provide us with a pilot report of the first Australian born Lightning?  Good job!  Brian W.

also, any pics of the panel for that plane?  Any differences in requirements for say a VFR Day aircraft over the U.S. Regs?  Listed here: http://www.4vfr.com/?goto=view_article&section=articles&article_key=405

Congratulations Dennis and thank you for the  encouragement!

  

  

 May it  be the first of many in AU.

G'Day mate,

     That is one beautiful airplane, Dennis.  I  really like the paint scheme.  Now that you have one flying to attend the  various fly-ins and shows, your business and sells should really go  up.  Or would that be "go down" since you guys are "down under"?

 Blue Skies,

 Buz

Buz,

I keep telling you guys that your perspective is all

wrong. From here...you guys are down under.

Hey Laurie,

     How's it going "down under"?  Haven't heard  from you for a while, but I have been wondering - when landing, do you put your  gear up or down?  For an inside loop do you pull or push?  When  you drain your tank sumps, does the fuel fall to the ramp or go all over the  bottom of the wing?  Or maybe your tank sumps are on the top of the  wings?  And speaking of wings, do you guys use an inverted airfoil?   Is your trim set up to work backwards?  Inquiring minds want to know.   

     Always great to hear from my "down under" friends,  I just can't imagine what it must be just walking around in negative  gravity.  

 Blue Skies,

 Buz

  

 And speaking of blue skies, do your attitude indicators have brown on the  top and blue on the bottom?

Buz,

   You may be right.  Ever seen a Nanchang CJ-6 AI?  It's got blue on bottom and brown on top.  What about this Mig Attitude Indicator?  No wonder you F-4 boys could get on their tails, how do they know which way is up?

Great photo, Brian, and as you said it proves our point about things "down  under".  Now my question is how did you get a photo of a MIG's attitude  indicator?  You aren't old enough to have been involved in projects "Have  Drill" or "Have Doughnut".

Buz Buz Buz,

and Brian Brian Brian,



You are not listening! I can see that i will have to

adopt a fairly technical scientific explanation in

order to assist your understanding...



Lets pretend that we have a big shovel and that we are

really good at digging holes. We start to dig, and

dig, and dig, until we get all the way to China.



Now by looking down this long hole, or in your case up

this big hole (of course you will need a telescope or

binoculars for this task)inevitably you will chance

upon a Nanchang flying over...or is that under?



Irrespective you will at that point see that aircraft

operating inverted. However this is but an illusion.

Brian, although being a whizz kid when it comes to all

things aeronautical and aerospace, neglected his

childhood education in geography whereby his teacher

would have drummed into him that China (the home of

Nanchangs) shares the same hemisphere as the US. 



The reason for the Nanchang appearing inverted was

that through shear coincidence the pilot happened to

be passing over our hole while half way through

performing an outside loop in preparation for the

world aerobatic championships being staged nearby.

There had been a delay in commencing the competition

because the US aerobatic team had inadvertently ended

up somewhere in the southern hemisphere.



Now if the hole had been dug through to Australia, you

are unlikely to have seen much. Australians have a

habit of disposing of all manner of unwanted refuse

down the nearest deep hole. But i digress. If you had

seen an aircraft flying you would be overcome by such

admiration for and envy of the magnificent piloting

skills being demonstrated. It would very soon be

apparent that that pilot could happily place his

aircraft in any attitude at his whim and that he wasnt

bound by banal concepts of negative gravity.



You realise that this land that you have spied is the

real mecca for pilots where everywhere else in the

world is just somewhere down under you. Failing to

notice the words 'US Aerobatic Team' appear in small

print along the fuse of that aircraft, you finally

accept the unchallangeable notion that the land of Oz

is indeed the place to be and the attitude to have.



I believe I have quite effectively straightened you

out on you false notions now Buz. If you still require

confirmation I will happily launch into an equally

scientific explanation of how your bath water

circulates the wrong way down the plug hole compared

to ours up here, in a later instalment.

Laurie
