Hi all you hard working Lightning builders (and flyers!),

 

 I have determined that there is at least one special code phrase that is quite prevalent in the builders "manual."  That phrase goes like this:

 

 "...and insert an AN3 (or 4 or 5) of appropriate length."

 

 It has taken me a while to figure what this special code phrase really means but, now I have translated that innocent phrase into its true meaning, which is:

 

 "...and insert an AN3 (or 4 or 5) that is not in the hardware that came with your kit."

 

 

 Perhaps you have found other special code phrases of your own in the Lightning manual and have figured out their true meaning as well.  If so, please pass them on so others can benefit and maybe get a chuckle or two also.

Bill and all other builders,  

   

If you are missing certain hardware please, please, please let me know. If I don’t know that the hardware kit is missing that particular bolt, nut or washer then I won’t know to update the hardware list. The original hardware list was developed while the prototype was being built and we have made changes based on feedback from builders. With your input we will continue to improve the hardware kit.  

   

Mike and I are about to build the new ’08 demo plane. We will work out of the current hardware kit that is provided by Aircraft Spruce. While we are building we will make notes to our current hardware list to make it the best possible. Please understand also that sometimes the thickness of a particular layup will change a bolt length (i.e. bolts securing the firewall to the fuselage flange). Mike and I will work hard to identify the possibilities and make appropriate adjustments to the hardware list.  

   

Bottom line; please continue to provide us with feedback. It is through your feedback that we will continue to improve the Lightning kit.  

   

Have a great day!

The pharse, in this case most likley is describing the install of the firewall to the flange on the fuselage and in this case is correct to state of the correct length. A fiberglass surface although made up of the same layers of glass may not be the same thickness every time, therefore to give a certain bolt length would be hinderent against safty if a -4 were to be used but a -5 was needed you most likley would not have any threads showing on your bolt and this would be not so good. Determining bolt length in metal however is easy. The other possibility is that it may be in an early section of the manual that our "staff" has not gotten to revising yet and will as time permits. We do appericate the input of lacking hardware and do our best to update the kit when notified. If the kit is lacking let us know of your need and we can get these out most of the time in the same day. We have revised parts in the kit to make fit and finish better, the cahnges have apparently  not filtered to the manual or the hardware kit and can be easily rectified. The decoder ring for the hidden phrases is available from you local dealer..it is an option.
