Hello all,
My Lightning, #48 was delivered late this afternoon, September 26th way up in the northwest part of the country, in Yakima, WA by Partain Transport. It was in the same truck that delivered #49 to Bill in Arizona last Friday. Since Friday it has been to Los Angeles, shared the trailer with a car, visited Van's in Oregon and arrived here sharing the trailer with a RV-10.
My delivery experience was the same as Bill's in Arizona right down to the rubbed area on the inside of the canopy. In my case the Partain driver, Seth, investigated the cause and determined that the scraped area was caused by a bundle of three aluminum tubes that was packed unprotected and unsecured inside the fuselage. He removed them from the fuselage so they couldn't cause any more damage. Note to factory: those tubes need to have bubble wrap around the ends of them when they are packed for shipping.
I can't say enough about the TLC that Partain's driver Seth used in caring for my Lightning while it was under his care.
Thanks in advance for the support that I have seen demonstrated to previous builders and that I hope to experience.
Steve
