The first Lightning built in Germany, D-ELIY , kit no.89, made its 

maiden flight today in the blue evening skies of Upper Hesse, after a 

construction time of 2 years and 8 months including 4 months waiting for 

hangar space and a test/evaluation/certification period of  3 months.

D-ELIY, as you might have read in earlier postings,  is not only the 

first Lightning throughout  Western Europe, but also the first one 

powered by a Belgian ULPower engine driving a 3blade CS prop.

The flight lasted 40 minutes and ended with a  landing (that wasn`t even 

too bad!) at the  EDFL / Giessen-Luetzellinden airfield . Engine and 

prop performed ok  . Engine temps were a bit on the warm side but in 

limits,  with OAT above  30Â°C / 85Â°F.

It is too early to judge the performance of the new drive, but the first 

impression is positive.

2600rpm / 25inHg resulted in almost 130 KIAS without the wheel pants.
