Pat and Carl Beatrice's Lightning flew for the first time on 4/4/2009.



The new Lightning LSA demo flew for the first time this past Saturday.



Bob Haas' Lightning flew for the first time this past Sunday.



These were the 39th, 40th and 41st Lightnings to fly. We have delivered 76

kits, so over half the kits delivered the past three years are now flying.



Congratulations to all.

Congratulations to all; it's great to hear that there is more Lightning in 

the sky (the right kind, of course)!

 This is a remarkable completion record! Congrats to all. I'm looking  for things I can do to help spread the good word.

I agree Earl: When pilots find out the performance and strength numbers  that go with the great looks of our Lightnings, it is pretty darn hard to not  buy one. My neighbors say mine looks like it is going 100 mph when sitting still  (and I really can not disagree with them).

 Hey World Record Earl,  

     You have done a lot with your extensive efforts  that resulted in the Lightning's world record.  I am sure it is the only  SLSA with a world record in its history.  So, how about another  record?  West to east this time?  Or you could trace the route of  Santa or the Easter Bunny as they make their yearly rounds.  Just a  thought, your mileage may vary.  

 Blue Skies,

 Buz

Hi Earl and everyone else.

  

 One of the best things we can do to spread  the word is to show up at Sun n Fun and Oshkosh and show our planes off. If we  can get 4 or 5 Lightnings parked in the homebuilt area I think we'd have a great  showing! If we're lucky maybe we can get a row started. Buz, you'll be there  first - can you ask?

 Sure, I will do that.  I would probably have more "pull" if we were  allowed to park in the Vintage area, but I will talk to the homebuilt parking  crew when I arrive at SNF tomorrow afternoon.   So if you are going to  fly to SNF, let me know today so I can give them an idea of how many airplanes  we are talking about.  The more airplanes we have, the more likely they are  to listen to this request.  Also, I am sure everyone realizes that during  the flyin, at times the number of arriving aircraft can get overwhelming  and parking crews do their best just to get everyone safely parked.  If you  arrive at one of these busy times, you may find yourself parked next to a  "belchfire 400"  instead of where you want to be.  If that is the  case, you may be able to move later when things settle down.  If you see  several Lightning in a parking row, walk there and save yourself a spot and move  your aircraft later.  Also be advised, all of the parking crew are  volunteers and they get lots of "strange" request at times.  Some of the  crew are more "friendly" and some can be, well, not so accommodating, so to  speak.  But we shall see.  Lets have a great turn out.  See you  there.

 Blue Skies,

 Buz

 Buz,

  

 Why don't you call my wife and discuss this idea. Be sure to mention  funding. You've met Susan, so you don't need an intro. 404-351-5256 (H).

  

 Seriously, we need to lobby the NAA (sanctioning body) for a Light Sport  record category. Meanwhile there are tons of possible speed records - pick a  pair of airports or nav facilities at least 249 sm apart and get a record for  speed over a recognized course.. I came close to the class C-1a weight limit of  1103 lbs take off, but some of the later light sport Lightnings are lighter than  N17EF, and could make it easily with a slim pilot (I weighted 155 lbs at the  time). Non LSAs can go for records in the C-1b class (up to 2205 lbs). 

  

 OK hot-rodders, who's up to the challenge?

  

 Earl
