 |
|
Hi All, I was up at Green Landings in WV yesterday
(right on MD/WV border) to work on my Lightning. I got
to ride in Greg's new SkyRanger, which was the best
SkyRanger build I have ever seen. The flat dash lets
you put papers , etc. in an area where they don't fall
down. The finish was extraordinary. The BRS looked
like a really quality installation.... Ryan's
Lightning is FOR SALE, so anyone looking for a sweet
Lightning ready to fly at a great price, his is ready
to go and a real HEAD-TURNER. The fit and finish on
his Lightning is really tight and it is a really sweet
airplane. Believe it or not, it handles even better
than it looks. Ryan has over 4000 flight hours mostly
in small planes and ultralights, so you know he is
going to be super-aware of making sure the Lightning
is true and correct. Ryan's # at Green Landings is 304
754-6010. If his was for sale before I started to
build, I would have just bought his Lightning. Ryan is
itching to build a jet, so anyone out there thinking
of building a Lancair jet or similar (Lightning Jet?)
should talk to him. Green Landings employees are a
virtual who's who in terms of aviation professionals
who spent their careers working on projects like the
Stealth bomber and other top-secret government
aviation projects. He's lucky to have such intelligent
engineers and aviation specialists on his staff. Since
most of the top gov't defense contractors are in the
DC area, he gets some incredible people because they
live in the area. I highly recommend potential
builders, buyers, or anyone for that matter, check out
the facilities and meet the staff at Green Landings,
including the occasional friendly dog that wanders
through. Charles

"wear tape" or "chaffing

teflon tape you put on
plumbing threads.
