Hi Dick, welcome to our forums here down under.

 

I had a quick look at the flylightning.net website, & it's a nice looking aircraft. How long did it take to build? Did you use the builder assist program, & has your airplane got the jab 3300 engine?

 

Regards, Decca.

Hi Guys

 

All lightings in the US have the jabiru 3300. The fire wall forward kit was designed for the Jabiru. The rotax weighs more costs more and requires more maintenace.

 

I used the builder assist program at ksyi (shelbyville TN) and it went well. I lived there in my vw van (using there shower). I was there a week starting July 2 and came back after painting and did the plumbing and wiring. flew home Nov 7.

 

Cheers
