Haha, looks great Jeff. I bet your getting anxious to get her in the air

If anyone is wondering where the gear to his Lightning went...  I snuck in after Jeff went to bed and swiped it..  Dont tell him though.. It looks great on my Zeus!

Nice work,
Alan

How does a guy that grew up in Eugene Oregon...  end up supporting the Beavers'?!?
Well, I guess they do deserve it.. they work hard for what they [dont] have. (no golden spoon from Nike)

Looks Great Jeff. Hope I get to see it fly one day!

Status: offline 		The Lightning flies! I got three flights on it today. The initial impressions are very good. I think the tweaks made from the first version all had the intended effects. The snap is a bit snap-ier and the rolling maneuvers have improved as well. It needs some minor trim work and some work on the rates, but I am really happy with it. Here are the pictures:

Status: offline 		Nice end result Jeff. Congratulations on a job well done. The plane looks great and after a few "get aquainted" flights, I'm sure you'll have her dialed in and groovin nicely.

I'm guessing it weighs 10.5 or less

Status: offline 		Thank you to everyone for all of the kind words of support. It is a very good feeling to spend so much time and effort on a project, and then finally get to see it in action.

I got two quick flights in today after work, still dialing in rates, but getting closer.
