Brian, Sorry to hear about your illness. get well
soon. The reason why i asked you about cfi is that
since you have a lot of hours in Lightnings, you could
maybe come up to Green landings and help us fly off
some of the first 40 hours in the new bird. plus, I
need a cfi with time in a Lightning to fly with for
insurance reasons. Charles

Charles,
As of two weeks ago I am signed off to take my CFI
checkride. As of about 1 week ago and 6 days I am
unfortunately temporarily grounded due to being very
sick. I am hoping to get the results of some tests
back and then have a few more to go through, but if
it is as they think it'll pretty much keep me
grounded for another month or two while I get over
this. After that I fully intend to go up for my
checkride and be certified in the short term. Then
plan on CFII by early next year if I can make the
time and money. My reference of flying other
peoples planes was in reference specifically to the
Lightning aircraft and not owning one of my own.

Charles,
Would love to come up, but don't know if I can get away from work here. At least not for more than 4 days at a time. Strange work schedule. It might be possible though for me to finish my CFI and then fly with another local CFI so that he has hours in a Lightning and then you could get training from him. Let me know how it goes with the build process. Never built my own airplane, but the Lightnings looked easy and sturdy compared to most kits I've seen. I had a lot of people tell me that it didn't look like it would be big or comfortable enough for very much of a cross country, but I flew for 10 hours cross country in one day and many days I spent around 5-6 hours flying time off. It's kind of like a sports car, smaller, faster, more responsive, but still, not too bad for a cross country. (Of course I'm ready to stretch my legs after about 2.5 hours in anything) Brian W.
