My hanger neighbor came in Saturday PM from OSH with the news that he saw a Lightning with a Lyc O-235 motor there. News to me! Is there anything to this or was he just confused.
Why in the world would anybody want to do that???

There is a European design called a Falcon (saw it at Sun-N-Fun and at Oshkosh) that has an 0-235 Lycoming and is kind of a Lightning look alike. They say they save weight by building the fuselage and wings with kevlar. After talking with Rick Disher about using kevlar, there would be no real weight savings, but a real cost increase. Kevlar would be good to use if you wanted an airplane to take lots of abuse or gun shots.  However, Lycoming is working on a light weight 0-235 derivative (maybe 0-230) that will be about 100 HP to compete with the Continental 0-200. Champion wants to use it to save weight on the new Champ.

Before even reading I would have agreed with Nick C probably an early Lancair. There is a new LSA engine that might work: the Lycoming IO-233 that was debuted at Oskosh. This is based off of the 235 C but it is 100hp C 200lb. engine. It is fuel injected with electronic ignition which is cool. Again though you'd get less power and you'd have to make a special engine mount. Not worth the trouble in my mind when the Jabiru is a great little engine. Brian W.
