Congratulations to Gary Pennington on his first flight. Gary's is the 36th
Lightning to fly.

On a side note I believe that Gary has the record for quickest customer
built (meaning no Builders Assistance Program) Lightning. Gary's kit
departed WI on August 4th so he received it about a week later. His first
flight was yesterday for a total build time of just over 3 1/2 months! Wow!
That is the quickest individual build time that I know of.

Gary has a beautiful plane and we wish him many happy hours flying it.

Mark

<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]--> Thank you Mark

I spent most of the day adjusting things and flew her again this afternoon. She is getting better and I am getting more brave.

Have a great day.

I'm claiming the longest Lightning factory builder assist time at SYI. Esquals with missing parts and Buz's redesign while building don't count. My kit arrived and we started the build early April and first flight was mid August. I'm also the only builder who had the fuselage redesigned and the new design refitted to my Lightning after the paint shop. That's a claim I'm pretty sure nobody can top. Can I claim another World Record?

Even with the fuselage replacement, 4 1/2 months is incredibly fast.

Now who has the fastest builder assist time?

I believe that goes to Wayne Lenox with around 54 days. Wayne, is this correct??

Tom, Greg, Ryan….. do you guys have one quicker than that?? (Not asked in a challenging manner…. just curious! We haven’t heard any other build times)

Started May 12th and N123WL flue June 27th. I think that makes 46 days. All possible with help form Mark, Nick & Mike.  However I did stay on three more weeks to fly off the 40 hrs. and finish everything. Wayne

I stand corrected. 46 days it is. I don’t know where I got the 54 days from. (I was only off by a week and a day!!)

It was a great build and a good time with Wayne and Nell.

Hey Earl: I think we are pretty close, my start date was in mid April, and
the airplane first fly date was Aug 20 th. I will have to go back and check the
records to get the exact days.
