Default Lightning Flies

Flew the Lightning for the first time today. Initial impressions of the Rhino/Lightning are good, plenty of power for this aircraft. Had a door cylinder problem so I couldn't suck up the gear, but I did confirm that the throws suggested in the manual are very good. 19 clicks of throttle held constant altitude with full gear and flaps at a reasonably slow speed. Gradually reduced this to 5 clicks on base and final, which is what I carried to touchdown, with a pretty stiff headwind. Even old guys like me have no problem seeing this plane.
