Green Landings was the sight of yet another Lightining first flight this past week. It was eclipsed by our excitement that Marks Tin Bird flew the day before. And we all congratulate him on a long and annoying build that had lots of sass since he built it with our knowledge!! It was a good job on a not-a-Lightning bird. And we wish him well during the test phase. (keep those aileron cables tight!!!)
But Ryan Gross turned out a "Best One Yet" for the Green Landings build center. A Lightning sculpted in British Racing Green with Gold pinstriping. It had the latest tail mods and special wingtips. That means it had light ailerons and just a bit heavier elevator control.
I witnessed the first flight and it flew great!! Straight and true from the get-go!!
The Best One Yet trophy will stand for a couple months until Greg C.'s bird leaves the nest.
To the contemplating Lightning builders: There is a real advantage to using a build center. You can take advantage of all the previous experience and have an airplane to be proud of. It also means that when you want to add your special touches, from cupholder to relief tube, it won't take so long to build.
The plan is to have flown off the restrictions and bring it to Homecoming Oct 10th.
The plane was going to be the GL Demo, but it is headed south once the papers are signed.
Congrats to Ryan.
