Buz,

Did you get me e-mail about Motels? In case, I have a reservation at the Ramada Inn in Murphreesboro for Mon thru Thur. Rate is $44 & change , includes breakfast. The Knight's Inn next door is advertising $27.99 (I think, from their billboard driving up yesterday). But I heard some negative comments about them.

I got in 3 flights yesterday (Fri) and abt 3 hours. Thirty three more before I fly it home. Still have some cooling issues, Nick thinks those will go away as it breaks in and the mineral oil is replaced. Meanwhile it flies great, just have to watch temps.

Painters will have it next Thur and Fri to clean up some spots, so I'm back at work those days. I had planned through Thur, but I'll let the painters finish. I'm trying to get a project finished at the office. Then I'll be back the following week.

My EFIS isn't in yet, should arrive Monday. Grand Rapids sent the Sport model by mistake.
I could use your help learning how that system works.

First order of Business Monday will be to re-torque the heads and check valve clearances. I thought the new engines had hydraulic lifters, but maybe you check then anyhow. Then we can go fly. I'd like to get some airborne pix if you're agreeable.

I'm sending this to the Lightning List so those interested will have an update on N17EF progress. Boy, the List has got lively this week! For those new to the list, N17EF is my new Lightning, 6-cylinder, Light Sport (so no gear clean-up stuff). With Nick's first flights it has a total of 7 hours. After the protype and the two dealer builds, mine is the first customer aircraft. We're working of the bugs now, which should be finished by the end of next week. They will be posting some pix on the Arion web site next week. If you can't wait, e-mail me & I send a couple.

BTW, it really looks great.

Earl Ferguson

Hi Earl,

I'm scheduled for the factory build assist the week of Thanksgiving, but I would love to see some pictures of your airplane. We're trying to work on a paint scheme so would like to see some pictures of your airplane as there aren't many Lightnings out there yet to look at!
Thanks, Linda Mathias
