Posted: Mon Aug 31, 2009 7:04 pm Post subject: September Lightning Newsletter

All,

     The September Lightning Newsletter, Issue 2-9, is  now posted on the Lightning web site as well as Jim Langley's site.  To  read and/or download the newsletter go to either:

 http://www.flylightning.net/

 or

 http://www.jimslightning.com/html/home.html

  

     This months newsletter features a great travelogue  on a trip to Idaho with some super photos by Dick Cleavinger who flies  out of Boulder, Colorado.  There is also a flight report on the new  ASTM-certified LS-1 Lightning.  Besides the normal flight report info it  includes a short write up on the HACman mixture control leaning system that I  found easy to use and effective at saving fuel.  

     Then of course there are all the other items  that are normally in each issue including an interesting safety "fix" that Bear  sent in.  You can also read more about Steve Hacker's father / daughters  Lightning building project.  

     As always, any and all suggestions and  recommendations are appreciated.  Recently it seems to be as hard as  pulling teeth to get inputs from you guys, but I am assuming that is because  everyone is either taking advantage of the summer flying season or you are in  your shop making great progress on your Lighting.  

     One last comment.  Every year Nick and Mark  and the entire Lightning gang go to great effort to plan, organize and put on a  Lightning Fly-In for all of us.  And please understand that the event if  for everyone that is interested in the Lightning.  This is  your chance to meet other builders and flyers, to ask questions, see the factory  and the kits first hand, and of course to get a demo flight in the  Lightning.  There are even going to be some new events this year - a speed  dash race for Lightnings flyers and several types of creeper races for  everyone.  So bring your "racing" creeper or just use one that they have  there and show everyone just how really fast your are on a creeper.  There  will also be several informative briefings presented -  update on Lightning  information, one on Formation flying, and one on how to beat world  record Earl's world record.  So far, that one is classified above top  secret.  Time and weather permitting we will even have some in-flight  formation training flights.

 So start planning now to be in Shelbyville, Tennessee, on 25 and 26  September.  

 Blue Skies,

 Buz

Might be better to give the direct link on my site to get to the newsletters.  

   

It is  http://www.jimslightning.com/html/newsletters.html  

   

They are listed in chronological order.     

   

For those of you who want to read a past newsletter, they are all there, plus a description of what is in them  Over the cooler weather here, I had planned on making things searchable, still may do that.  

   

Jim!

 Thanks, Jim, having the past newsletters articles searchable would be a  great improvement for the Lightning builders, flyers and those just interested  in learning more when they are looking up information that has been published in  the past.  I know we would all appreciate your efforts.
