Hi, anyone flown the new Lightning yet ?

Rob.

I have seen it a bunch of times being flown by Ray Labonte at Liberty Bell and Maine jet rallies. Its big and very impressive flying. Big flight envelope (fast and slow) and seems to track like its on rails. That's all I can say as I've not had the opportunity to be on the sticks.

Hope this helps.

I'm working on one now, it probably won't be finished in time for this weekend, so I'll fly it next weekend.
So far the build has taken about 20 hours for it to be on it's wheels just needing an install of turbine and RC control.
It's very prefabricated with all control horns fitted at the factory.
I've seen enough flying with the Comp ARF guys to know it should be good.

Thanks Adil and Dave, from what I've heard sounds like the pilot's abilities will be the only limiting factor with this one.

Dave.......will you be flying yours at any UK jet meets soon ? Would love to see one 'in the flesh' as it were. I know the jet meets are starting to get a bit thin on the ground this time of year.
