Default RE: Ultra Lightning at last!

Hey Joe

What is enough for you? I think at least 75% of the Ligtning owners fly with turbines in the 36 lbs range.
My UL is 31.5 lbs dry, I have 4 liters of fuel on board. With a thrust of about 37-38 lbs I need less 300 feet for take-off on grass.
Hope this helps.
