Another Lightning took to the skies on wednesday 11, taking off at
Chicago O`Hare airport to fly nonstop all the way to Frankfurt Rhein
Main A/P.
Not on its own wings, though, but in a crate aboard a MD11 Freighter of
Lufthansa Cargo. It arrived safely , sits now in front of my garage in
Linden near Giessen and waits to be assembled in the spare time I can
find in the months( or years) to come.
My name is Gerd (pronounced Garret) Nowack , age 54 and I have been an
active pilot, private and professional, since 1976.
So here are my greetings from Germany as a new member of the Lightning list!
Gerd

Herzlich Willkommen in der Gruppe!!!
I have built an Esqual here in Belgium. (Lightning was not available at that time)
I wish you good look with the construction and hope to see it flying very soon.

Gerd,
Welcome to the group and congratulations on your Lightning kit purchase. I think you are the first builder in Germany. I know you will enjoy the build process and certainly the flight performance of your airplane when you get it completed. Keep us updated on your progress and send some build photos for the newsletter as you make progress.
Blue Skies,
Buz Rich

Welcome to the group. I'm sure you'll love the building of your Lightning. My kit was No. 74. I just finished my 1st annual condition inspection...Seems hard to believe it's already been a year. alot of fun flying it.
Good luck and keep us posted...

It's great to see the Lightning has arrived in Europe Gerd. I do wonder
if it's time for a few more LSA type aircraft to come the other way (US
to Europe)
The Europeans and producing a lot of different types in the class and
the good thing is from what I've seen there is no speed restriction.
What we do need over here is a harmonised LSA type category but the EASA
(European CAA) are making a right pigs breakfast of everything they get
involved with so for now it's just countries with 'experimental'
available that can build planes like the lightning.
Regards, Clive

Hi James
Yes, the Lightning has made it to Europe, so after the initial
Evaluation by the OUV(the german EAA) for my project is completed (
which should be thae case within the next few days. I hope)
Aircraft builders from other european countries can make use of this for
their certification process.
I`ve given up waiting for a European LSA solution and decided to go
ahead now, since I have a PPL and a medical .
No speed limit for my Lightning!
