Factory statement as at 2pm 13/9/06....
I'm glad to see that the factory was so quick to address this issue. I'll contact my rep. reg. the upgrades.
Looks to be a solution that will give me some peace of mind.
Just a thought: Will C-ARF contact every customer who has bought a Lightning, or do they have to find out and request the upgrades themselves?
No problem here because there are just 3 Lightnings in the country. Two belongs to the rep., and one is mine..
Now that the factory has made a statement, isn't it time to tell the rest of us what actually happened to Rob's plane?
Did his stab tips/ control horns touch the runway on take-off, and was it flutter that ripped the stabs off?
I thought they changed the stabs to have less dihedral early in the production to prevent the tips possible touching the ground?
My rep has a early production one, and this one has more dihedral than his second Lightning (and mine).
