Has anybody experienced the Jabriu 3300 Gen 4 yet in the Lightning? If you have what is your static RPM before take off, and cruise at 75% power. In reading about the GEN four engine it seems that there is less maintenance issues as with the prior generations of engines, does anybody have any experience with that?
Also does anybody have any experience with the new ground Adjustable propeller. Thanks

Lightning aircraft west has two lightnings under construct with the  gen 4 engine, but haven't flown yet. We have several of the new  ground adjustable  propellers. We set the static run at 2650 and at 2850 we get 140 kts

Can you tell me what RPM you're turning at that speed? I assume the 140k is TAS, not IAS...?Also, is that in a plane being registered as S-LSA or at least as EAB/LSA compliant? If so, you have very firmly captured my attention. I'm flying a Pulsar III with Jabiru 2200 and cruise (at) 150 MPH TAS. I forget what RPM is right now but I'm fairly impressed with this performance from the airframe/85HP powerplant combination. I have been considering the Lighting as my next LSA-Compliant plane with the goal of having as much performance/payload/comfort/durability and sporty handling as possible from a design accepted as LSA-Compliant. In other words, if I could attain my Private certificate, I'd be flying a Lancair, Glasair or Tango.
