Hello all!
We’ve had our first arrival, Paul Bryant from Clearwater, FL. Unfortunately Paul had to drive up due to weather but he’s here nonetheless.
We look forward to seeing everybody this coming weekend. As usual we’ll be cooking out Friday night and flying out to Winchester, TN for breakfast on Saturday morning. When we return we’ll start the annual Lightning 100 air race and just enjoy Lightning fellowship. Later in the day Nick will brief everyone on what’s going on here at Arion.
It should be a great Friday and Saturday and the weather forecast is good for our area.
See you Friday!
Mark

Hey World Record Earl, you missing the Lightning Homecoming is DISSAPPROVED.
Resubmit your request to miss this event in 90 days for final disapproval.
Heck, you only live about an hour away via Lightning flight. At least you should fly up for a while on Friday or Saturday to say hello. I want you to talk other Lightning owners into going for additional World Records.
Besides, you need to be there to defend your Senior Division Championship of CRAP - Creeper Racing Association of Pilots.
Blue Skies,
Buz

I can't make it either. I've got brain surgery scheduled. BTW, did anybody receive any of my postings I made the other day? The one with pics of my mods and doings?
Have a great gathering.

Thanks

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I'm the surgeon. I started doing brain surgery because it was a low pressure job after I quit my astronaut position at NASA. My most "pressure" job was drafting for dollars, though.

Hi Bernardo,
Thanks for sharing these pictures I’m sure they are inspirational and give very good ideas for further mods.

Hi Michael,
You're welcome. I've got some other pics to post soon too.
In particular, I was at odds about how to bolt on the brackets that support the rudder cable pulleys at the base of the firewall. I just knew there had to be an easier way to do this than to have someone holding the bolt from inside the cockpit, while under the rudder pedals, in a very cramped position while nuts were tightened from the outside, then having to attach the pulleys,cables and bolts. A monster of a job.
My solution was to fabricate two different brackets with tabs brazed on that would bolt to the firewall before the stainless steel firewall was attached.
Additionally, you could finish the rudder pedals installation, as well as the brakes, etc, with much better access.
I'm always looking for ways to make things easier, more logical or accessible. Stay tuned.
Bernardo

Well we had planned to attend. We discovered a nose gear problem when
preflighting the airplane. We need to order a new nose block and nose leg
lower socket. Been trying to get someone from Arion on the phone to
order the parts. Guess they are all out having too much fun already.
Hope everyone has a good time.
