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

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.
