I must be tired. I forgot to add something in the last email about the feedback I am getting from you readers on Lightning flying time. Remember the purpose of this survey is kind of a marketing tool for when the SLSA Lightning is on display in the Light Sport Aircraft Mall area at Sun N Fun. Many of the people looking for a light sport aircraft will only look there and will probably never have heard of the Lightning. They will think it is just some "late entry" into the light sport market. However, we all know it is a development of the very popular EAB Lightning that has been flying for about 3 years with about 80 kits sold and about 50% of them already flying and so many hours already flown by Lightnings around the world.
So here is where we stand so far. Of the 39 Lightnings that have flown, 19 of you have sent me your estimated flying time by the time Sun N Fun rolls around. The 19 reporting in so far account for 2064 flying hours. We had 3 report in from OZ (Dennis' two demos and Pete Disher's), we have the 3 factory aircraft (the prototype, the current demo, and the original demo now in Brazil), and that leave 13 others reporting in. High time goes to World Record Earl with 265 hours, second is the first demo with 250, and third goes to "Rocky" Dick Cleavinger with 175.
For Esquals, we have 6 reporting in with a total of 1372 hours. Four were from the US, one from OZ and one from the UK. High time is N31BZ with 540 (should easily be 550 by SNF time), second is Dave Mc Corkdale with 416, and third is Allan Maxwell with 235.
OK, the rest of you Lightning and Esqual drivers, get your log book out, find out how much time you now have, and send it in to me. You may be helping sell some more Lightnings. And the more sold, the better the airplane becomes known, and the more your personal jet will be worth.
Blue Skies,
