Hi Scott,
The 160 is a superb match for the Lightning.
The response to this new model has been interesting. At first, people were a tad dismissive. However, they then started to see them in the flesh, saw the build quality and what was included for the price. Then people saw some prototypes fly and now we're seeing completed customer's models ripping up the sky people are becoming extremely impressed. It's also a 'steal' for such a large sport jet combining some of the best build quality around and some of the best flying characteristics (not just my views!) - I think you'll soon start seeing a LOT of Lightnings and owners with some BIG smiles on their faces!
As for the build thread, I'm just waiting for my retracts to arrive and then I'll make a start.
Rgds,
Mark
