Hey Lightning guys,
As of yesterday afternoon I'm back in SYI, Tennessee, for the Lightning Homecoming and Fly-In. Great to be back here at the home of Lightning and Jabiru. Spent some time catching up with Pete, Nick, Mark and "Moostang" Mike yesterday afternoon and then Bear and I had dinner last night with Pete and Barb.
Today I plan to fly the new demo Lightning with the latest stabilizer design. Heck, I hope to fly it twice, once to just get the feel of the new set up and then a second flight to take it through some of the flight test profiles for the longitudinal stability tests that were required when I first flew the 25 required test profiles for certification back in 2009. That way I will be able to best answer anyone's questions on the flying and handling difference between the two set ups. I'm certainly looking forward to these flights.
As to the Homecoming and Fly-In, the weather looks great for today and Friday and good for Saturday and Sunday. So all you Lightning owners, builders and absolutely anyone else that is interested in the Lightning, please plan on coming to Shelbyville, TN, for this event this Friday and Saturday. As always, we will have lots of fun catching up on what has been going on as well as flying this super airplane. And as you may have heard, the Friday evening hangar party with beer and brats is always fun. If you have never raced a creeper after having a beer or two, you have certainly missed one of the all time greatest athletic, skilled, and educational events.
BE THERE, ALOHA
