Greetings everyone

 

I received Kit #65 in August of 2008.  Last Thursday 27 March 2014 it took off on its first flight from runway 23 at Serpentine, Western Australia.  Peter Mitchell (Lightning owner) kindly piloted the first flight for me.  After a quick 10 minute shake-down he landed to pick me up (to act as flight test information recorder – as is permitted in Australia).  A few bugs to fix, but overall it flew beautifully ..

 

A big thanks to the guys at the Arion factory who answered all build questions promptly, to Dennis B in SA, and Ed S & Peter T (Lightning owner) at the Sports Aircraft Builders Club in Serpentine.  

 

Cheers!

Hi Wayne,

 

Good job, congratulation to your maiden flight. You got one of a very special aircraft, I always followed you on kitlog which is also a big help with your detailed report for my build.

Thanks for the positive comments everyone - greatly appreciated!  When I have debugged everything and finished my flight testing I'll start some touring around Western Australia, then across Australia - and I'll send some flight photos though. 



Kindest regards

Congratulations Wayne.  Beautiful jet.  You should be here in Florida at Sun N Fun and  I'm sure it would win an award.  Enjoy flying it. 

Blue skies,

Wayne,



I would like to make your jet the Lightning of the quarter for my first newsletter.  If you have read the last one, you know that Buz has handed over the reigns to me and I want to make the first one a good one.  If you could send me some nice pictures and a little blurb about the plane and how it is flying, I would appreciate it.  I want to complete the newsletter before the end of May, so if you could get me something next week, I would truly appreciate it.  My e-mail is dwwilt(at)aol.com.



Thanks much,



Dennis
