Due to the economic situation in general and particularly my own, I am reluctantly considering selling my Lightning kit.
The kit was delivered January 2008 and includes the new style canopy and latch, new style instrument panel, and elevator horn with the 3 bolt attachment pattern. It has the later, longer engine mount which I believe contributes to reduced pitch sensitivity.
Options included are tinted canopy, canopy windows (sliding type) both sides, 30 (2x15) gallon tanks, dual brakes, cabin heat, polished spinner for fixed pitch prop, steps both sides and standard wingtips.
The work done to date (approx. 75 hours) is detailed here: http://www.mykitlog.com/cojaken
I have been working mostly on the principle of not buying things until they are needed, so there is no engine, electric trim system, wheel pants, interior or instruments. These are all available from Arion, as are extended wingtips.
I am selling for 10% less than my cost ($36,014), that is $32,400. Buyer collects. Just think, if I had saved the money in my 401k instead, I would have lost 50% 
If anyone is interested, please send contact information to cjk129 at cox.net (didn't want to use the "(at)" and invite lots of automated spam!) and I will call you. I would be very comfortable with you coming to inspect and inventory the kit before making a commitment. I am about 15 minutes from Tulsa airport in Oklahoma.
I am still an enthusiast and hope one day to own another Lightning, but unfortunately that day may have to wait!
